Jill van den Brand Photography

Jill van den Brand specializes in maternity photography and brings your pregnancy to life with a narrative, fine‑art approach. Based in Nijmegen, she works with close attention to detail, composition and style — elements shaped by her background in the fashion world. The result feels cinematic, intimate and unforced: images you will return to with wonder for years to come. Why choose Jill as your maternity photographer? Because she treats maternity photography not as a checklist but as a personal story. She looks for the small moments — a hand on the belly, light falling through curtains, a look of anticipation — and frames them with tasteful lighting. Her style blends documentary spontaneity with careful composition: pure, elegant and quietly timeless. How she works: the process is relaxed and personal. There is always time for an introductory conversation and planning so the shoot truly reflects who you are. You can choose to have the session in her Nijmegen studio, at home, or on a meaningful outdoor location — places that carry memory often create the most powerful images. During the session, Jill fosters a calm, joyful atmosphere; she is creative, takes care of many details, and ensures the photoshoot feels like a pleasant moment rather than a task. Jill’s approach is designed to encourage comfort and connection: gentle guidance, small poses and attention to natural movement help even camera‑shy people feel at ease. She works with a filmic yet documentary sensibility and carefully edits each image so every frame is technically and emotionally true. Whether you’re after classic maternity portraits, subtle lifestyle images, or an intimate series that tells your story, Jill positions herself as a specialist in maternity photography in Nijmegen and the surrounding area.
