Christa Stories

As a specialist in maternity photography, Christa Stories captures your pregnancy exactly as you feel it: warm, honest and full of small stories. Christa combines her storytelling background (journalism, Christelijke Hogeschool Ede) with a love of warm tones and natural light. The result is pregnancy photos that are not only beautiful but truly tell your story. Why choose Christa? Because she approaches maternity photography as a way to document a special chapter in your lives. She creates a relaxed, safe atmosphere where you can be yourselves. Through fun little prompts and subtle direction, spontaneous moments arise — no forced poses, just genuine connection. Many clients highlight her involvement, fast delivery and personal attention as reasons they love the final images. How does a pregnancy shoot with Christa work? First we choose a location together — often on the Veluwe (for example Het Leesten), but the beach or other favourite places are also possible. Before the shoot you receive an information booklet with wardrobe advice so colours and fabrics blend beautifully with the warm visual style. During the session Christa often walks along with you, asks gentle questions and gives small, playful tasks to bring out real interaction and emotion. After the shoot she selects the very best images and you receive an online gallery within two weeks to choose your favourites. Extra experience: Christa offers the option to add a short story-film so your memory can also come alive in motion — perfect for social media or to relive the moment later. As both photographer and videographer, she knows exactly how photo and film can complement each other. Based in the Barneveld / Kootwijkerbroek region, Christa is used to shoots across the Veluwe and surrounding areas. Her approach is personal, professional and focused on creating memories that last a lifetime. Ready to capture your pregnancy in a warm, storytelling way? Christa would love to tell your story.
