Mother & baby photography in ViennaSkin to Skin
For the first weeks that pass so quickly. In your home, unhurried, in natural light. And if you like, an image that stays ends up on your wall.

What remains
“We were seen. And it became a work of art.”
You do not have to perform or be anything special. It is enough to be there, exactly as you are. I do not pose anyone. I wait until you arrive and photograph what happens between you: the gaze, the breath, the hand on the little back.
Whether your baby is a few weeks or a few months old: the baby photoshoot takes place at your home in Vienna, in your light and at your pace. On request, it becomes a family shoot with siblings or your partner.
With Skin to Skin & Print you receive not just a gallery but also one image as a large framed fine art print. For your wall, for every day, for the years to come.

Is it worth it?
These weeks will not come back.
A phone photo disappears into your camera roll. An image on the wall is something you see every day, in a year, in twenty years. And one day your child will see how tenderly it was held from the very beginning.
To get to know me
Mini sessions at NANAYA
Several times a year I photograph short mother & baby mini sessions at NANAYA in Vienna’s 7th district: 15 minutes, three images, a first impression of how I work.
Dates & booking“Manu captured such intimate and tender moments of my baby and me. The atmosphere was so sensitive and just right.”
“Intimate, honest photos that will always remind me of that magical first time.”
“Her calm, sensitive way made it easy for me to feel at ease. Every photo tells a small, wonderful story.”
“I am so glad and grateful for the nursing photos. I would regret it if I had not had them taken.”
Frequently asked questions
When is the best time?
The best moment is exactly when you feel it. Every phase in your baby’s life is unique.
In the first days after birth, photographs are not what matters most; it is about experiencing, resting, arriving. A little later is often a wonderful time: when your baby starts to discover the world with open eyes, when first gazes and little smiles appear.
How do I prepare?
You do not have to perform or be anything special. It is enough to be there, exactly as you are.
If you like, choose comfortable, simple clothes in light, natural colours. For your baby a simple bodysuit or a small blanket is enough. Often it is the bare skin-to-skin moments that touch us most. Above all: take your time and leave everyday life outside.
How long does the session take?
I take my time with you. Depending on the package about 1 to 1.5 hours, with all the breaks you need for feeding, changing and cuddling.
Where does the session take place?
Ideally in your home, where you feel comfortable and safe. A studio is also possible. Travel within Vienna and Linz is included; for other places I charge a travel fee.
Who can join?
Everyone who belongs to you. Mum and dad, two mums, a blended family or a single parent, with siblings or grandparents: closeness looks different in every family, and that is exactly what I photograph. On request, it becomes a whole family session. We will discuss duration and price beforehand.
Will my images be published?
Only if you want them to be. Without your consent I never show images of you or your child.
