As a maternity photography specialist in Meppel, I capture the magic of your pregnancy in a warm, relaxed style. Warm images, a client closet and a personal online gallery.
I’m Kirsten van der Meer, a maternity photographer based in Meppel. As a mother of three, I deeply understand how precious and fleeting pregnancy can be. My mission is simple and sincere: to capture moments you’ll want to return to time and again. Why choose a maternity shoot with me? I work from a place of calm and joy. My style is warm, atmospheric and natural — I prefer to photograph things as they are. With a light, relaxed approach people feel comfortable quickly, and it’s often the small, in-between gestures and glances that make the most beautiful maternity photos. I love working with soft, natural light and I’m a big fan of golden hour — that warm, low light often adds just the right touch of magic to the images. How do we work together? We start with a personal conversation to discuss your wishes and the location. Whether you prefer an outdoor session around Meppel or an intimate shoot at home, I take the time to ensure everything proceeds calmly and pleasantly. During the shoot I create a relaxed atmosphere and give gentle guidance so you don’t feel forced into posing — your natural connection and emotions remain the focus. You’re welcome to use my client closet, which offers soft, timeless clothing that complements the look of my photos. After the session I carefully select and edit the images so they reflect my warm, atmospheric signature. You’ll receive the photos through a personal online gallery where you can view, choose and share at your own pace. For those who want more: I also offer the “New Life” package, which documents your pregnancy and later the newborn session, creating a cohesive story of that first special period. If you’re looking for authentic, warm maternity photos in and around Meppel, I’d love to capture your bump moments with care. Send a message and we’ll discuss what suits you best.
