As a maternity photography specialist in Sneek, Marijke creates intimate, pure maternity portraits using natural light. Calm, timeless images that beautifully record your pregnancy.
I am Marijke Woltjer, passionate about families and the transitions that come with new life. As a specialist in maternity photography based in Sneek, I capture with care and warmth the special period in which you are carrying and expecting. My style is pure and timeless, often with a gently boho touch — images you will revisit with warmth and recognition. Why choose a pregnancy shoot with me? I work from a place of calm and personal attention. I photograph using natural light—visible in my split portraits—and make the most of simple, soft lighting conditions. The result is gentle, atmospheric maternity photos that focus on the shape of the belly, emotion and connection. I don’t believe in overly staged poses; I prefer a relaxed session where you feel seen and comfortable. How I work: we first meet so I can align with your wishes and ideas. During the shoot I guide you in a calm, clear way: giving subtle directions and creating a warm, safe atmosphere in which spontaneous moments can arise. Whether you choose an intimate portrait series, quiet silhouettes or a more narrative session with your partner, my approach remains the same: attention to detail, natural poses and an eye for emotion. My background as a kindergarten teacher has taught me gentle communication and patience; these qualities bring calm to a maternity session. I have worked professionally as a photographer since 2012 and still consider it a privilege to document this vulnerable and powerful time for parents. Location and experience: I work from Sneek and prefer light, simplicity and a natural look. Are you looking for maternity photos that feel honest, warm and timeless? Please get in touch for a meeting — I’m happy to advise on style, clothing and the atmosphere that suits you. Together we will create images that precisely capture this extraordinary pregnancy.
