Maternity photographer in Graz

A maternity photographer in Graz is a photographer who photographs you during the last weeks of pregnancy – alone, with your partner or with an older sibling – at a slow pace, with breaks and poses that stay comfortable. Graz has an unusual place for it that works in any season: the glasshouses of the University of Graz Botanical Garden at Holteigasse 6, in the villa quarter along Schubertstraße. Designed by Volker Giencke and opened in 1995, they are a tilted, parabolic structure of acrylic glass with wooden walkways and bridges, holding four climate zones: a tropical house with orchids and mangroves, a cool house with citrus trees and eucalyptus, a temperate house with South American and Australian plants, and a house for cacti and succulents.

Under the glass the light is soft and even, the air is warm in winter, and the green backdrop changes from one house to the next. Check the garden’s current opening times and ask it about photography before booking, as the garden sets its own rules. Between May and September an evening session outdoors is the alternative, and from November to February many mothers prefer to be photographed at home. A session takes about an hour with breaks, and the edited gallery follows within a few days.
