Monica Verdoorn Fotografie

I’m Monica — a mother of two and a maternity photographer based in Geertruidenberg. For me, a maternity shoot isn’t about perfect posing but about capturing love, warmth and genuine connection. My style is lifestyle and natural: I work calmly and personally, paying attention to the little details that will mean so much to you later on. Why choose me as your maternity photographer? I combine technical expertise with a strong sense for atmosphere. After a background in travel, I turned to photography and completed training that deepened my love for light and storytelling. During a maternity shoot I look for soft, natural light (I prefer the golden hour) and locations where you feel at ease — this can be your home or an outdoor spot near Geertruidenberg. My approach is personal and relaxed. After booking you’ll receive my brochure with preparation tips, wardrobe advice and the best timing for the session (usually between 30–36 weeks). On the day itself I take my time and adapt the pace to your wishes: a chat, a few gentle directions and plenty of room to hold each other and enjoy the moment. I aim for unposed, authentic images, with occasional soft guidance so the most beautiful moments can unfold naturally. Practical and caring: I often send a preview soon after the shoot so you can already enjoy a first look, and the final gallery is delivered in a clear online environment where you can select your favourites. Planning to book a newborn shoot later? You can combine maternity and newborn sessions to tell the full story of this special period. Are you looking for maternity photographs full of feeling, warmth and authenticity around Geertruidenberg? I’d love to help you create memories you’ll want to keep forever. Send me a message or request my brochure without obligation — then we’ll discuss what suits you best. With love, Monica Verdoorn
