As a specialist in maternity photography based in Leeuwarden, Yljafotografie brings your pregnancy to life in images that genuinely feel real. Ylja works from a deep love for family and her own experience as a mother — you can see and feel that care in every photo series. Her style is pure, warm and slightly nostalgic: no forced poses, no unnecessary props, but intimate moments that let your connection speak. Why choose Yljafotografie? Because you want more than a tidy portrait: you want memories that transport you back to how it really felt. Ylja captures the strength and beauty of your pregnant body in a respectful, feminine way. She takes a lifestyle approach: subtle guidance, plenty of space for natural interaction and close attention to detail — from a tiny hand on your belly to the soft light that surrounds you. The way she works is personal and relaxed. Before the session you’ll discuss location and style together: a mood-filled outdoor spot or the trusted intimacy of your home. You’ll receive styling advice and may use the client closet free of charge, with carefully selected dresses and kimonos especially suitable for maternity photography. On the day itself Ylja follows your rhythm; she creates a safe, playful atmosphere where real emotions and gentle moments arise naturally. She also pays careful attention to natural light and subtle, flattering editing so the final images feel timeless. As a maternity photography specialist, Yljafotografie focuses on capturing real connection — the love, expectation and small gestures that make this stage so unique. Her pictures are story-driven and meant to let you feel again later how it was: the butterflies, the calm, the anticipation.

From Leeuwarden, Ylja guides you calmly and attentively through the whole process — from inspiration to the images you’ll keep forever.
