As a specialist in maternity photography based in Culemborg, Ara Schrijvers brings your pregnancy to life in images that feel like memories from the heart. With a soft, dreamy style and a deep love for natural light, Ara focuses on the essence of motherhood: tender touches, quiet bonds and the unique beauty of your body in transition. Why choose Ara? Because she works from personal commitment — both as a mother and as an artist. Her work blends cinematic storytelling with an intimate, lifestyle approach. Sessions are designed to create calm: no forced poses but gentle guidance, attention to styling and location, and space to simply feel. The result is a series of maternity photographs that not only show how you looked, but above all how it felt to live that moment. How does a maternity session with Ara work? From the first contact she takes the time to hear your story: where do you feel most yourself, which clothing gives you confidence, and which places speak to your heart? Many expectant mothers choose a shoot between weeks 27 and 35 — a period when the bump typically shows beautifully and you often still feel comfortable being photographed. Sessions can take place at home for intimate, warm images, or outdoors during the golden hour for soft, golden light. Ara provides styling advice and offers a client wardrobe so you can feel and look your best. During the session Ara creates a relaxed and safe atmosphere: she puts you at ease, offers thoughtful direction and captures both small details and candid, open expressions. Her approach is empathetic and artistic at once — the aim is to create photographs that are timeless and meaningful. Whether you live in Culemborg or the wider Utrecht region, Ara invites you to collaborate on a visual story of your pregnancy. These images become a testament to your journey into motherhood and a treasured gift for you and your family — honest, warm and full of soul. Get in touch and let Ara help you immortalize your pregnancy with care, love and a stylistic eye.
