Rayke geboortefotografie

"A photo is much more than just an image; a photo brings you back to what once was." That is exactly why I focus entirely on maternity photography from Winterswijk. As a birth photographer with nearly 11 years of experience (and hundreds of stories I’ve had the honor to record), I know how precious those bump moments are. I am a mother of four myself and understand how quickly details and feelings fade — which is why I create pregnancy photos that truly bring you back to that emotion later on. Why choose a maternity session with me? Because I specialize in maternity and bump photography and work from a place of calm and trust. My style is natural, warm and documentary: no forced poses, but attention to connection, light and small details. Whether you opt for an intimate portrait series, a shoot with your partner, or a relaxed lifestyle session at home — I help you relax so real moments can unfold. How I work: we start with an introduction — this can be a no-obligation chat via the website or a message. During that conversation we discuss your wishes, privacy (what you do or don’t want shared) and the location that suits you best: at home, in nature, or another spot near Winterswijk. On the day itself I create a calm, personal atmosphere so you feel at ease. I photograph with attention to light, emotion and little details: hand on the bump, loving glances, silhouettes by soft window light. What you receive is more than photos; it’s a tangible memory of a unique period. My approach is engaged and honest — I want you to look back on the images with warmth and pride. I also respect that your wishes are leading: if you prefer no online publication, I will fully honor that. As a specialist in maternity photography in Winterswijk and the surrounding area, I capture pregnancy with heart and years of experience. Curious about a maternity shoot or want to know what’s possible? Please get in touch for an introduction — I look forward to photographing your story.
