Marjolein Knetsch Fotografie

As a specialist in maternity photography, Marjolein Knetsch captures the special period of pregnancy with an eye for emotion, connection and natural light. Based in Katwijk aan Zee, she mainly works outdoors at locations such as the dunes, the beach and the nearby woods—places that offer space, calm and soft, natural light. Her images radiate warmth and love; she looks for spontaneous moments that tell your story honestly and timelessly. Marjolein’s approach is personal and relaxed. She photographs you as you really are: no stiff poses, but gentle direction, small prompts and plenty of room for interaction between partners or with (future) brothers and sisters. Through calm guidance and a warm, relaxed atmosphere she helps people who may be a little camera‑shy to feel at ease quickly. The result is intimate maternity photography that centers on connection and the expectant joy of the moment. Practical and service‑oriented, Marjolein supports you in the preparation: from choosing the right outdoor location to advice on clothing. She has a client closet with dresses she gladly offers to complement your styling. She provides wardrobe advice tailored to the location and the desired mood of the session, so the images remain calm and natural and your bump is beautifully presented. Marjolein works with careful attention to light and composition; she prefers to schedule shoots around the golden hour for that warm, soft light, but is flexible when another time better fits your rhythm. During the session she maintains a relaxed pace so you can focus on each other and on the special moment unfolding. Choosing Marjolein means choosing a genuine, loving style of maternity photography in Katwijk aan Zee—a specialist who pays attention to detail, emotion and comfort.
