Annette van Dijk-Leek fotografie

As a specialist in maternity photography I capture the special period of your pregnancy with care and a strong sense for atmosphere. I’m Annette van Dijk-Leek and my approach is collaborative: together we look for natural poses, beautiful light and those moments in which you truly recognize yourself. My experience as a portrait photographer ensures I know how to present pregnant women at their best — strong, loving and timeless. In my studio in Alkmaar — with easy parking — I create a calm and safe environment where you’ll quickly feel at ease. Prefer an outdoor or a special location for your maternity shoot? That’s possible too. I work with light, mood, location and focus to create images that show not only your bump but also the emotion and anticipation of this phase. You’re welcome to bring someone along; together we’ll make it a relaxed, personal moment. What sets my maternity photography apart is the attention to detail and a natural style. No heavy retouching or forced poses — just honest images that reveal your unique personality and the connection with your partner or family. Whether you choose intimate close-ups of your belly, atmospheric portraits or a combination of both, I tailor the session to your wishes and provide calm, reassuring guidance throughout the shoot. Before we begin we’ll meet to get to know each other and discuss what matters to you. During the session I guide you step by step — offering gentle, positive direction so you feel relaxed and spontaneous moments can emerge. The final result is a set of photographs you’ll look back on with warmth and comfort; memories that remain precious for a lifetime. Are you looking for a maternity shoot specialist in Alkmaar?
