Colors & Clouds Fotografie

As a specialist in maternity photography in Steenwijk, Colors & Clouds — led by photographer Aleida — captures this special period with warmth, attention and craftsmanship. My work focuses on intimate, moody and painterly pregnancy photos that convey the strength and vulnerability of the expectant mother. I believe a pregnancy is more than the silhouette of a belly: it is a story, a transformation and a memory you will want to revisit again and again. My approach is gentle, personal and purposeful. Before the session I take the time to listen: who are you, how are you feeling right now, and what kind of mood suits you? Together we can create a moodboard and tailor clothing and styling advice so the images truly reflect you. During the shoot I create a safe, relaxed atmosphere where you can settle in — a moment to pause and celebrate yourself. With my background in sociotherapy and trauma-sensitive yoga I bring an extra sense of calm and trust; you will notice this in the way I connect and guide you throughout the session. In my Steenwijk studio I work with considered lighting — sometimes using flash for that distinctive, intimate look, other times relying on soft natural light — and with retouching that gives the images a painterly finish. Prefer an outdoor session or a shoot at home? On location we’ll find a setting that fits your story and comfort. I follow your pace and respect your body: everything is done with care and attention to your boundaries. The result is a collection of images that are not only beautiful but meaningful: photographs that bring you back to that unique time and hold on to the emotions you felt. I support you from first contact through to delivery of the images, with clear communication, practical tips and personal care. As a mother myself, I understand how valuable such a report can be — I love creating photographs that become treasured keepsakes. Would you like a maternity session that feels like a warm moment for yourself — calm, pure and full of attention?
