Samantha Smit Fotografie

Relaxed, loving & pure — this is the heart of my maternity photography. As a specialist in maternity and pregnancy photography in Leiderdorp, I capture your pregnancy in a way that feels like you: warm, honest and full of emotion. My focus is on the story behind your pregnancy; not posed images, but natural moments that later take you back to exactly how it felt. My approach is lifestyle-oriented: I love photographing in the comfortable setting of your home or at a location that means something to you. With gentle guidance and small prompts there is room for spontaneity — the touch of a partner, playing with (future) brothers and sisters, or simply the two of you in the light. I help you relax so your real connection is central and the photo series remain recognizable and personal. What drives me is my love for children and for capturing authentic human moments. My experience allows me to quickly establish rapport, so many expectant parents feel at ease during the session. I deliver images in both color and black-and-white; often both versions reveal slightly different emotions and moods. Working together feels personal: before the shoot we discuss what you prefer — indoors or outdoors, clothing and the optional use of dresses from my client wardrobe — so the day itself runs more smoothly. After the session you’ll receive a selection gallery promptly, so you can already enjoy and choose. I carefully edit the selected images with attention and care; the final result is an intimate and timeless collection that truly tells the story of your pregnancy and bump photography. Although maternity photography is my specialty, I approach family and birth photography with the same attention. Looking for a pregnancy shoot in or around Leiderdorp or elsewhere in South Holland?
