Irina Hoek Photography

I'm Irina — a specialist in maternity photography based in Zwolle. My maternity sessions are designed to capture this unique period of expectation, love and wonder in a pure and timeless way. As a maternity specialist, I always look for soft light, natural emotion and the calm that gives your session true meaning. My approach is personal and gentle. Before the session we talk about your wishes: do you want an intimate shoot focused on your belly, a loving reportage with your partner, or a family moment with children included? Together we choose the location that matches the mood you want — the nature around Zwolle, a minimalist white studio, or the familiar warmth of your home. That choice creates space for spontaneous moments and beautiful, timeless portraits. Practical and caring: I offer wardrobe advice and you have access to my client-closet with dresses selected especially for maternity photography. During the session I guide you into simple, natural poses so you feel comfortable and the love for this chapter becomes visible. I take my time; relaxed moments and genuine connection are always central. As an award-winning photographer, I work with attention to light, composition and sincere emotion. After the shoot I carefully select and retouch the images so colors and exposure highlight the softness of this period. Within a few weeks you’ll receive an online gallery with your best maternity photos — ready to share or to keep in a beautiful photo product. I cover practical matters up front: the best time for a maternity session (often between 32–36 weeks), options for bad weather, and tips to prepare so the shoot goes smoothly. Would you like a newborn session later? I offer combo packages and am happy to plan a continuous story from pregnancy to those first moments with your baby. Would you like to have your pregnancy captured in a warm, authentic and professional way in Zwolle or the surrounding area? I’d love to help you create memories you’ll want to keep forever. Feel free to get in touch for a no-obligation conversation.
