Sonja Huiberts Photography

As a specialist maternity photographer in Purmerend and the surrounding area, I help you make this precious period visible. My approach is warm, calm and relaxed: I work mainly with natural light and create a safe atmosphere where you feel free to show your true connection. As a mother of three, I understand how quickly these moments pass — which is exactly why I photograph with attention to the small details that later hold so much meaning. My focus is maternity photography: from intimate portraits of the expectant mother alone to loving images of you together with any children or pets. I’m happy to come to your home for a maternity shoot in a familiar environment, but I can also photograph at a location you choose. During the session I offer gentle guidance so you look natural, without forced poses. Sometimes I ask for small, playful moments — sitting a little closer, taking a breath or a soft touch — those details bring emotion to the image. Practical and personal: I prepare each shoot together with you, give tips about clothing and light-friendly locations, and make sure there’s room for breaks, outfit changes or feeding. If you wish, you can use my client closet with beautiful dresses that drape nicely for maternity photos. Because every pregnancy is unique, we decide together which moment suits you best; many clients choose the period around weeks 32–36 for lovely silhouette and bump definition. What drives me is capturing purity and emotion — photos that act like mini time machines so you can immediately recall the scent, the feeling and that tender look years from now. Since I started working professionally as a photographer, and with a background full of creative curiosity, I strive to craft each image with care and an eye for composition. I work personally, attentively and with respect for your story. Would you like to know what a maternity shoot with me feels like? Get in touch for a no-obligation conversation. I’m happy to think along and help you create memories that last a lifetime. With love, Sonja Huiberts
