photos by tal

Hello, I’m Chantal from photos by tal — I specialize in maternity photography with heart and experience. As a mother and with nearly twenty years of work in childcare, I’ve learned how to create calm, how to ease small discomforts, and how to capture beautiful, honest moments. I bring that same care and attention to every pregnancy shoot. My style is warm, natural and relaxed. Whether you choose maternity photos in the soft outdoor light or an intimate pregnancy shoot in your home, I look for the moments that truly reflect you: eye contact, a gentle word, a subtle touch, and that relaxed smile. I work with care for composition and light, but above all with an eye for emotion — so your maternity photos are not only beautiful but also full of feeling and memory. During the session I aim to create a relaxed atmosphere: I give clear guidance to partners who may feel a little awkward, involve little brothers or sisters in a playful way when appropriate, and adjust the pace to your needs. Many parents appreciate that I show images during the shoot; that builds confidence and ensures the final result is exactly what you had in mind. My approach is patient and personal — there’s always room to discuss clothing, location or your own ideas for the session. Why choose photos by tal in Waalwijk? Because I approach maternity photography with genuine involvement: I know how special this period is and want to help you hold on to it in timeless, authentic images. Maternity photos don’t need to be stiff or overly posed — it’s the relaxed, loving moments that become warm memories later. As a local photographer I’m used to working with families from the region and I feel at home creating a safe, pleasant experience. Curious what a pregnancy shoot with me feels like? I’m happy to talk about your wishes and ideas and to help plan a personal, stylish way to capture your pregnancy. Get in touch and we’ll create lasting memories together.
