I was not born with a camera in my hand… but today, I cannot imagine my life without it.
I am Mariann Hennel, a maternity photographer.
Who am I, and how can I help you during your maternity photoshoot?
As I mentioned above, I was not born with a camera in my hand, and I did not spend my childhood unable to put one down. My father loved photography, but back then it did not interest me at all.
How did photography grow from a hobby into my profession?
I was already an adult when I started photographing sunsets with an analogue camera from my rented flat on the tenth floor, trying to capture the beauty of the moment. I originally trained as an economist, and photography was a way to escape the stress of my job at a multinational corporate bank and unwind for a while.
It worked so well that my hobby and passion grew into my profession. Photography gives me the creative freedom to express myself fully.

Why did photographing people become so important to me?
I bought my first professional camera more than 16 years ago, setting me on a path of learning and development. Photography courses and workshops taught me the finer details, but I truly felt at home when I realised that photographing people brought me the greatest joy.
At first, I explored several areas of photography, including nature, food, and reportage photography.
Photographing people allows me to build a deeper connection with those in front of my camera. I want to show their real personalities — the moments that are uniquely theirs.
What does it mean to have me beside you as a supportive partner?
I am there not only as a photographer, but also as a supportive partner who helps you overcome worries and insecurities about your appearance. I find the poses and angles that are most flattering for each person. I believe beautiful photographs can be taken of everyone, and my job is to create the environment that makes this possible.
What can you expect from a photoshoot with me?
I pay close attention to every person and every detail, so that your photoshoot is not just a memory to keep, but an experience to enjoy.
What clients say
Frequently asked questions
What if I do not feel photogenic?
That is a very common feeling, and it is no obstacle. I guide you throughout, helping you find flattering angles and feel natural, so you do not have to worry about what to do.
How do you help me pose if I feel awkward?
I have ways to help you relax quickly. You do not need to know how to pose: I show you each movement step by step and gently guide you, while also paying attention to your natural, instinctive movements. I always adapt to what feels comfortable and natural for you.
Do you photograph in Budapest studios and outdoors around Budapest?
Yes. I offer studio photography in Budapest and outdoor photography in Budapest and the surrounding area. We choose the location together, based on your ideas, the weather, and the season.
What should I think about before my maternity photoshoot?
All you need is a rough idea of the mood you like — simple, romantic, or close to nature — and whether you would prefer a studio or an outdoor location. I will help you work out the rest.
Can we talk beforehand if I do not have a clear idea yet?
Absolutely — many clients start that way. I will ask questions to help us understand what suits you, what photographs you would like, and what feels right for you.
