Zeetjies Fotografie

As a specialist in maternity photography, Merel of Zeetjies from Hoogezand captures your pregnancy in an honest, warm and timeless way. At Zeetjies it’s all about authenticity: no forced poses, no stress, but space for who you are and how you feel during this special time. My style is pure and respectful — I look for the small gestures, the soft glances and the connection between you, your partner and any other children. I love working on location or in your own home. Home sessions provide calm and familiarity, making it easier for real moments to surface. During the shoot I take the time needed and pace the session according to your needs: breaks for feeding, cuddles or simply a moment to relax. At Zeetjies there is no limit on the number of successful images — every meaningful capture deserves to be kept. What sets me apart is my personal, people-focused approach. As a mother and birth photographer I understand how vulnerable and special this phase of life can be. I prepare you carefully, help you think through location and styling, and make sure you feel comfortable throughout the session. My editing is subtle and timeless: colours and light are refined without making the images look artificial. The result is a series of photographs that still move you years from now. Together we create a reportage that tells your story. Whether you prefer intimate indoor images, a romantic outdoor session during the golden hour, or a boudoir-style maternity shoot — everything is planned in consultation and with respect for your boundaries. My goal is that when you look back at the photos, you don’t just see a pretty image, but feel how it was.
