Gewoon-Nienke

As a specialist in maternity photography I am Nienke te Vruchte — the photographer behind Gewoon‑Nienke — working from Steenwijk with one clear purpose: to capture the vulnerable strength of your pregnancy. My approach is personal and calm; people and nature are central to my work. A pregnancy shoot is not a parade of standard poses, but a careful interplay of light, posture and feeling. The result is maternity and belly photography that genuinely suits you. Why choose Gewoon‑Nienke? Because I focus explicitly on maternity photography and belly photography, and that focus is visible in everything I do. I create a warm, relaxed atmosphere where you can be yourself — whether in my studio near Steenwijk or on an outdoor location where nature and light come together. I work softly, guiding you toward natural poses and paying attention to small details: hands, silhouette, the texture of clothing, or an intimate moment with your partner or sibling. How does a pregnancy shoot with me go? We start with a short conversation: what do you find beautiful, which feelings do you want to see reflected in your images, and which locations appeal to you. During the shoot I give clear, gentle directions so that even those who are not used to being in front of the camera feel at ease. My style leans toward natural light and timeless imagery — photos that will keep their impact and emotion for years to come. What can you expect? A carefully curated series of images — from subtle close‑ups of your belly to atmospheric portraits — that you will proudly share and keep. I believe the final selection should feel like a gift: photos with atmosphere, emotion and attention to your unique pregnancy. Are you looking for maternity or pregnancy photography in Steenwijk or the surrounding area? Feel free to get in touch. I’m happy to think along with you about style, location and timing. Warmly, Nienke — Gewoon‑Nienke.
