About Dominika
Introduction
Hi! I'm Dominika, a photographer with a colourful journey that has woven my passion for imagery across continents.
My story began in Poland, where I was born and my love for photography found its roots as a curious child with an old Zenit. Higher education led me to Germany, where I immersed myself in studies at Münster University and immediately fell in love with Germany and German culture. Venturing further, I embraced the UK to master my English language skills and attain my Master’s degree. However it was in the vibrant cityscape of Ningbo, China that destiny introduced me to James, my husband, and where we were blessed with the birth of our two sons, William, and Thomas. Eight captivating years in China unfolded, starting as an educator, and ultimately guiding me to my true calling as a professional photographer. Our dynamic path has now brought us to Hessen, Germany, where our cherished daughter, Lily, became the newest member of our loving family in July 2023.
Photography has always been more than just a passion—it's been a constant companion throughout my life's journey. Our interesting experiences in China and especially the arrival of our children ignited a fire within me, compelling me to elevate my craft from a personal love to a professional pursuit.
With a treasure trove of maternity dresses, baby props, and an eye for detail, I invite you to experience bespoke photo shoots in my meticulously prepared studio. Every session is a canvas where I blend my expertise with your story, capturing moments that resonate and endure.
For me, being a photographer is not just a profession; it's an honour. I hold in high regard the experiences I create for my clients, and I am devoted to providing an unforgettable journey through the art of photography.
Maternity
The best time to schedule a tummy session is between 28-35 weeks of pregnancy when the belly is round.
However, it fully depends on your well-being and some women arrange their session as late as in the 38th week.
During this experience I want to create unique art that you will still love after 20 or 30 years. When we meet I will guide and pose you so you always look at your best.
Newborn
The first two weeks of your baby’s life are the best time for a newborn photographic experience - in this phase newborns usually sleep throughout the session.
Bearing in mind how fragile and delicate newborns are, I take great care to provide them with comfort and safety during that time which is why there is no set timing on this event.
Our meeting will take place within the rhythm of your child’s needs allowing enough time for feeding. Family photos can also be included in the newborn session.
Children
While children’s portraits can be booked as a standalone session, many parents don’t realize that siblings can also be included in a baby shoot at no extra cost! If your baby has a big brother or sister, I’d love to capture those special family moments. Just let me know when booking your baby shoot, and we’ll create something special.
The Swing
Introducing The Swing – a unique, artistic shot offered exclusively during my maternity sessions.
Many don’t realise this is included, so I’m sharing it here to make sure you don’t miss out on this unforgettable addition to your session.

Portfolio
My unique artistic style aims to capture emotion, and in doing so I highlight connections; with the camera, between mother and unborn child, or between the models.

What they say
Testimonials
My clients are my strongest advocates, and word-of-mouth is my most effective marketing tool.
Here's what a selection of my customers had to say about their photo shoot experience and the resulting artwork delivered

I had the pleasure to be on Dominika's lens a few times, and each time was incredible.
The last time was for my birthday portrait, she had some great ideas for shots, we had a lot of fun while shooting, it was a handsome experience and the photos came out great I love all the detail of it.
Dominika is very talented and such a joy to work with, I highly recommend her!
Dominika is a wonderful family photographer.
I usually get really uncomfortable in front of the camera but Domi made me feel relaxed and beautiful, and all of us, including the baby, enjoyed the photo shoot!
She is very creative and can find unique spots to take the most amazing pictures, but what was most important to us, she captured the emotions of us- the first time parents.
Thanks to Domi, we have the most amazing photos of our precious baby boy that will always remind us of the happiest time of our lives!
We can’t wait to come back soon!
Domi ist eine super Fotografin! Sie hat meine Tochter fotografiert und die Bilder sind echt toll geworden!
Mit Domi als Fotografin hat sie sich sofort wohl gefühlt, die Stimmung war super angenehm und es war eine echt tolle Erfahrung.
