Thamar Esveld Fotografie

Pregnancy is one of the most precious periods in a life — it deserves images that will still move you years from now. As a specialist in maternity photography, I am Thamar Esveld, and I capture this unique chapter with a sensitive, fine art approach. My style is timeless and spontaneous: clear, natural images with a warm, romantic undertone that reflect your personal story. What sets me apart is the combination of technical skill and a human approach. With a background in education, I know how to put people at ease and how to bring out the most beautiful moments with gentleness and a touch of humour. During a maternity shoot I work with small, natural prompts and subtle directions so you stay truly yourself — no stiff poses, but authentic connection and touches that reveal love and anticipation. That result shows in my maternity and bump photography: pure emotion presented in an elegant, calming style. I believe location and atmosphere make all the difference. Whether you prefer a relaxed session at home, an intimate shoot in a favourite nature spot, or a golden-hour outdoor maternity shoot near Alphen aan den Rijn, I’ll gladly advise you on light, clothing and composition. Wardrobe guidance, styling tips and practical suggestions are part of my personal service so that your appearance translates best to the final images. As an award-winning photographer I strive for photographs that are cherished by generations. My work focuses on quality and care — from a relaxed, reassuring shoot to attentive post-processing where I enhance warm, natural tones and maintain a timeless look. You will receive a curated selection of high-resolution images in a private online gallery, plus a sneak preview so you can share the first photos with loved ones quickly. I am based in Alphen aan den Rijn and photograph pregnancies throughout the Netherlands. The introductory conversation is non-binding; in a short meeting you’ll discover what I can offer and how I will document your pregnancy in an authentic, loving way. Let’s ensure this special period lives on, image by image.
