Barbara Kempeneers Fotografie

As a maternity photography specialist based in Merenwijk, Barbara Kempeneers captures your pregnancy with the same personal attention and calm approach that define her portraits and family photography. Her style is honest and unfussy: no forced poses, but images in which you recognize yourself — a warm, non-judgmental portrayal of this special time. Why choose Barbara for your maternity shoot? With a background in portrait and family photography, she knows how to put people at ease, how to catch small gestures and glances, and how to use natural light to create a soft, timeless atmosphere. Barbara looks for that little sparkle, the relaxed moment, the connection between you and your partner or children. The result is maternity photography that’s not only beautiful now, but becomes more meaningful over the years. How does it work? We start with a personal consultation to discuss your wishes and ease any concerns. Barbara is happy to advise on clothing, location and the mood you want the images to convey. The shoot itself is relaxed and informal: minimal posing, plenty of guidance, and space to move, laugh and share intimate moments. You can choose a session in Merenwijk or at a location that has special meaning to you — together we find the place and the light that suit the story you want to tell. During the session, Barbara works with natural light and focuses on subtle compositions and detail shots of your belly, hands and the soft faces of your family. Bringing your partner and/or (future) siblings is welcome — Barbara guides the whole family so everyone feels comfortable in front of the camera. After the shoot, Barbara carefully selects and edits the images in her calm, consistent style. You receive the photos promptly via an online gallery where you can choose your favourites. She can also advise on prints and wall art; Barbara believes these images should be seen, not left on a hard drive. In short: if you’re searching for a maternity photographer in Merenwijk who works with enthusiasm, calm and attention to detail, Barbara Kempeneers delivers maternity photos that are pure, meaningful and full of emotion — images you’ll look back on with warmth for years to come.
