As maternity photography specialists, Raoul and Monique capture your pregnancy in soft, romantic images. Studio or outdoor near Beuningen, with gowns from our client closet.
We are Raoul and Monique of Raoul van Meel Photography — specialists in maternity photography based in our cozy studio in Beuningen (near Nijmegen). Because pregnancy photos mark such a special chapter, we focus on creating calm, loving images in which you feel beautiful and entirely yourself. Our style is soft, romantic and timeless; we often work with evening light or subtle studio lighting to achieve a warm, natural atmosphere. As maternity photography specialists we take the time to get to know your story. Before the session we arrange a consultation and fit gowns from our client closet so you don’t have to worry about wardrobe on the day. Whether you choose an atmospheric shoot in nature (think Hatertse Vennen or other lovely spots around Beuningen) or a styled session in our studio, our emphasis is always on connection — with your partner, with your bump, and with the quiet joy of this period. Our approach is personal and relaxed. We give clear yet gentle guidance, work with natural poses and leave plenty of room for spontaneous moments. Monique handles styling, outfits and mood; Raoul focuses on light, composition and emotion. The result is maternity photography that doesn’t feel forced but has an intentional, elegant look — perfect to display at home, share with loved ones, or keep as a tangible keepsake. Practical details: the ideal time for a maternity shoot is usually around 32–36 weeks, but we always tailor timing to how you feel. You can expect patience, professional retouching and a calm studio experience. Travelling from further away? We’re happy to suggest locations in the Nijmegen and Arnhem area. Why choose Raoul van Meel Photography? Because maternity photography isn’t an afterthought for us — it’s our specialization. We combine years of experience with a recognisable soft style and attentive service. Want more information or ready to book? Send us a message — we’d love to meet over a cup of coffee and discuss which images will suit you best.
