Capribee Family - Trouwfotografie & Film

As a specialist in maternity photography, Melissa of Capribee Family captures moments with care, softness and storytelling. Since 2017 she has developed Capribee Family from a single wish: to create maternity shoots that truly feel like you — not posed, but honest, warm and cinematic. Her background as a photographer and filmmaker (since 2010) gives her a unique advantage: she knows when a moment calls for a still frame and when movement or sound will make that same moment even stronger. Why choose a maternity session at Capribee? Because Melissa is specialised in maternity and bump photography and understands exactly how to document this vulnerable, powerful period. She works with soft natural light, dreamy vintage tones and a documentary approach so the images not only become memories, but also bring back the feeling of that time. Whether you prefer an intimate solo session, a shoot with your partner or one with the whole family, the series of images tells your story — from small touches to the way light falls through clothing. How does a session run? Melissa works calmly and compassionately. In a short introductory conversation you agree on what matters most: the location (Hoge Vucht, the Mastbos or another special place), the preferred time (golden hour is a favourite) and whether you also want moving images. On the day she creates a relaxed atmosphere: no forced poses, only gentle guidance and room to move, play and connect. That approach results in natural images in which you recognise yourselves. Special option: hybrid maternity photography + film If you wish, Melissa combines photography with a short, intimate film in the same style — a beautiful way to preserve not only images but also sound, voices and movement. This hybrid method grows out of her years of experience shooting and filming simultaneously; the result is one consistent story told in both photo and film. Based in Hoge Vucht (available in Breda and the surrounding area), Melissa works with great care and personal attention. If you are looking for warm, narrative maternity photography that feels like a memory, Capribee Family specialises in exactly that: maternity photos you can truly feel again later.
