Imke Vennema Trouw en Geboortefotografie

I am Imke Vennema — midwife, sonographer and documentary photographer — and maternity photography is my passion. As a specialist in maternity, I capture not only how you look but, more importantly, how it feels: the quiet waiting, the exchanged glances and the small rituals that make pregnancy unique. My background in midwifery gives me an added layer of calm and understanding; I recognise which moments are meaningful and how to be unobtrusive so you feel comfortable. My style is intuitive and honest. No scripts, no rigid poses; I work from observation and trust. That means I move with the moment — sometimes close, sometimes in the background — creating images that do more than show: they evoke feelings, memories and the atmosphere of that special chapter. Expect intimate portraits of you together, soft bump photography and spontaneous moments that move you later because they are unfiltered and real. How I work with you: we start with a meeting to see if there’s a click — in person or online. During the pregnancy shoot I create a relaxed atmosphere: gentle direction, plenty of space for natural expression and, when helpful, a touch of dry humour to ease any tension. Locations can range from your home to a favourite outdoor spot in or around Alphen aan den Rijn; together we choose what best suits your story and comfort. What you receive is more than a collection of images: these are tangible memories of a remarkable time. My approach focuses on authenticity and emotion so each photo preserves a piece of your story. Because I concentrate fully on maternity, I’m specialised in pregnancy shoots and bump photography and understand precisely what’s needed to capture these moments beautifully and respectfully. If you’re looking for a maternity photographer in Alphen aan den Rijn who combines calm, experience and a midwife’s insight, I’d love to meet you. Together we’ll consider the place, the feeling and the images that will speak for years to come.
