Marina Fotografeert

As a maternity photographer in Gorinchem, I love capturing that special period when your family is growing. I’m Marina Bonnemaijers, and my approach to maternity photography is built around one thing: calm. With a background in primary education and a genuine love for children and families, I create a relaxed atmosphere where expectant mothers feel truly seen and at ease. My style is natural and emotional — not stiff poses, but images that show interaction, anticipation and vulnerability. Whether you prefer an intimate session at home, an outdoor shoot at sunset or a short walk in a park, I look for the light, angle and moment that best tell your story. Bump photography doesn’t need to be contrived; often the most beautiful maternity photos come from small touches, glances and spontaneous moments. During the maternity shoot I guide you gently: offering soft direction for poses and composition, helping with hand placement and ensuring partners who aren’t used to having their photo taken feel comfortable. My approach is playful and sociable — I like to bring out a laugh or a natural gesture so the images truly feel like you. After the shoot I carefully edit the images and share them in an online album so you can choose at your own pace. You’ll receive a personal selection with attention to emotion, composition and retouching. Would you like prints or a keepsake album? I can arrange custom print and album options so your memories look exactly how you want them. I mainly photograph in and around Gorinchem but am available elsewhere in the country. Curious whether we’ll click? A short introductory conversation is the ideal start — we can discuss your wishes, locations and ideas. If you’re looking for maternity photography that focuses on emotion, interaction and a relaxed atmosphere, I’d be happy to capture your pregnancy.
