Dries Smeets Fotografie

Dries Smeets Photography is a specialist in maternity photography, focused on capturing that unique period of anticipation. Based in Gennep, I document the beauty and emotion of pregnancy with care and attention. My approach is calm and personal: I listen closely to your wishes and work from observation — a quality I bring from my years as a teacher. The result is imagery that feels soft, timeless and sincere. My style emphasizes natural, warm maternity photos. I look for subtle moments: the placement of hands on the belly, the exchanged glances between partners, the quiet confidence of the expectant mother. During the session I aim to create a relaxed atmosphere so you can be yourselves. I give gentle guidance and use simple lighting and compositions to keep the focus on your story and the rounded forms of pregnancy. Every pregnancy is different, so I work tailored to your needs. Whether you prefer understated black-and-white images or soft, colorful portraits, I adapt the session to your taste. Shoots take place from my studio in Gennep and I often work throughout the region, combining local familiarity with attention to detail. Together with my wife I enjoy capturing the bond between partners and any children, so you can look back on pure and honest images. What can you expect? A personal intake conversation where we discuss your wishes, a relaxed shoot with attention to comfort and calm, and carefully edited images that tell the story of this special period. My approach is designed so that even those who don’t enjoy posing feel at ease and come away with authentic photos. Choose Dries Smeets Photography if you’re looking for an experienced, involved and specialist maternity photographer in Gennep. With an eye for emotion, solid technique and personal attention, I create lasting memories of your pregnancy that you will cherish for years to come.
