Elsje van Dyk Fotografie

Maternity photography is more than a photoshoot — it's the capture of a profound transformation and a keepsake for life. As a specialist in maternity photography in Rijen, I focus on warm, natural images that reflect the intimacy and emotion of this period. My approach is calm and personal: I take the time to make you feel comfortable so the most beautiful, genuine moments can emerge. Practical and personal: I generally recommend scheduling the session between 30 and 36 weeks, when your bump is beautifully visible and you still feel comfortable. You can choose a studio session or an on-location maternity shoot — at home or surrounded by nature — depending on the mood you want. For extra convenience and elegant options, you can use my Client Closet: a growing collection of dresses, bodysuits and wraps carefully selected for maternity photography. My style is soft and timeless; I love working with natural light and neutral tones so the focus remains on your connection and the shapes of motherhood. During the session I guide you with simple poses and practical directions, always maintaining a warm and relaxed atmosphere. Whether you come solo, with your partner or with (young) children, I create a safe, comfortable setting where you can relax and enjoy the experience. I am Elsje — born in South Africa and based in the Rijen area — and I have been photographing since 2015, with a completed photography qualification in 2018. I combine that experience with a personal approach; every pregnancy deserves a beautiful representation of who you are in this phase. My goal is to deliver images you'll want to revisit and cherish again and again. Would you like to have your pregnancy captured by a specialist maternity photographer in Rijen? Contact me to discuss options, browse inspiration from the Client Closet and plan a calm, beautiful session that suits your story. I look forward to ensuring this special time in your life is preserved.
