Frequently asked questions
Don't see your question here? Feel free to send me a message — I'm happy to think along with you.
When is the best time to plan my maternity shoot?
I recommend week 28 to 34. Your belly is beautifully round by then and you usually still feel fit enough to move around for an hour. Expecting twins or finding it heavy going? Then we simply plan it a little earlier — we look together at what feels best for you.
I feel insecure in front of the camera. Is that a problem?
No, and you are certainly not the only one. Almost everyone says this to me before we start. I tell you exactly where to put your hands, how to stand and where to look. You do not have to figure anything out yourself.
What should I wear?
Clothing you feel comfortable in and that shows your belly beautifully: fitted dresses, a long skirt, a soft colour that suits your skin. I think along with you beforehand and am happy to send you some examples.
Can I use dresses and accessories?
The studio has dresses, fabrics and accessories you may use. Would you like to? Let me know and we will look together at what suits your shoot.
Can my partner or child join?
Very much so. Partner and children are included in all packages, up to a maximum of 5 people.
Can the shoot also take place outdoors?
Yes, with every package you can choose between the studio in Mijdrecht or an outdoor location. The most beautiful light is around golden hour, just before sunset.
What happens if the weather is bad?
Then we move the shoot to the studio or to another day. You pay nothing extra for that.
When do I receive the photos?
You receive your images in an online gallery after 14 working days.
What if I do not feel well on the day itself?
Let me know and we will reschedule the shoot. A pregnancy cannot be planned and I want you to feel good on the day we photograph.
