Jantina Fotografie

Jantina Fotografie is known in Assen as a specialist in maternity photography. My work is about telling your story: pure, raw and full of love. Rather than posed portraits, I prefer unposed maternity sessions and bump photography where intimacy, light and authentic moments take center stage. My approach is gentle and personal. Before the shoot we take time to discuss what matters to you: whether you prefer the session at home in a familiar environment, outdoors amid the nature of Drenthe, or a combination of both. During the maternity shoot I work with natural light and a calm atmosphere so you can relax while I capture the small touches, glances and movements — images that will bring back that exact feeling later on. What sets me apart is a documentary mindset combined with a warm, human approach. I aim not to direct but to observe: the way you hold each other, a hand on the bump, a shared laugh — it’s the subtle details that make a maternity photograph special. Whether you’re looking for intimate pregnancy portraits, a maternity shoot with your partner, or soft black-and-white bump photography, I create images that feel honest and timeless. As a pregnancy photographer based in Assen, I work with respect for your pace and wishes. My goal is that after the session you can look back and truly relive the feelings of that period. With broad experience in family and newborn sessions, I often consider how the maternity series will fit into your larger family story — while keeping the focus of the maternity shoot clear: the anticipation and the new beginning. If you’re searching for a maternity shoot in Assen or the surrounding area that is gentle, honest and emotional, get in touch. I’m happy to explain my working method, advise on the best locations and timing, and help with styling and planning so your pregnancy session becomes a relaxed and meaningful experience.
