Astrid Verdam Fotografie

As a specialist in maternity photography, Astrid Verdam captures your pregnancy in a pure, loving way. Drawing on her own experience as a mother, Astrid understands how special and fleeting this period is — and she does everything she can to translate that warmth and anticipation into calm, natural images. Her approach is relaxed and personal. Before your session, Astrid takes the time to hear your wishes: would you like intimate portraits of the mother alone, photos with your partner, or a family shoot including siblings? Most sessions take place outdoors or at a location where you feel at home; Astrid prefers soft natural light and simple styling so the focus always remains on you and the growing belly. During the maternity shoot, Astrid creates a warm and safe atmosphere. She offers gentle guidance but mainly looks for spontaneous moments and genuine emotion — the hand resting on the bump, the look between partners, the small interactions that tell a story later on. Her style is pure, light and timeless: photographs that will still move you years from now. Practical and involved — that’s how Astrid works. She advises on the best timing for the shoot and can help choose outfits and locations if you wish. On the day she brings calm and attention to every detail so you can relax and fully enjoy the moment. After the session, Astrid edits the images in her signature style, with an eye for detail and natural colour tones. Choosing Astrid Verdam Photography means choosing an experienced maternity photographer from Hilversum who has made pregnancy sessions her speciality.
