Laura Nieuwenhuis Fotografie

As a specialist in maternity photography, Laura Nieuwenhuis in Apeldoorn captures nothing less than the meaning of expectancy: that small, intense world between then and soon. With more than 15 years of experience documenting families and the very beginning of new life, Laura works from a clear vision: light, purity and genuine connection take center stage. The result are maternity photographs that are not only beautiful but feel like memories. Why choose Laura as your maternity photographer? Her approach is personal and calm. Rather than rushed poses, she seeks moments that feel natural and recognizable: a hand on the belly, a shared glance, a soft smile. Laura prefers timeless earth tones and soft, natural light — this gives the images a warm, understated look that will remain expressive for years to come. What makes her style special is the combination of craftsmanship and care. In her atmospheric studio in central Apeldoorn there is a small client closet stocked with dresses and wraps in neutral colors, so you not only look great in the photos but can truly be yourself. Prefer outdoors? Laura selects peaceful, beautiful locations in the Veluwe area so the surroundings enhance the story of your pregnancy. Partners and children are warmly welcome — Laura makes sure everyone feels at ease and guides you with gentle direction. How does a maternity session with Laura work? It starts with a meeting: together you discuss wishes, style and any wardrobe choices. During the session Laura takes her time; nothing is forced, everything is allowed to unfold organically. After the shoot the images are carefully edited with attention to color and mood so the final result remains warm and timeless. If you later book a newborn session, Laura is happy to maintain a consistent and personal style and experience. Laura believes photographs bring comfort and joy — now and later. Her maternity photography is for expectant parents who value quality, authenticity and a relaxed experience. Would you like a maternity shoot in Apeldoorn that feels like your story?
