HappyFocus Fotografie

As a specialist in maternity photography, Monique Bleijenberg of HappyFocus Photography in Merenwijk captures the unique anticipation of pregnancy with warmth and craftsmanship. Maternity sessions for her are more than pictures of a bump: they are personal portraits of a life stage filled with expectation, pride and connection. With more than sixteen years of experience she creates timeless, emotional images you’ll happily revisit for years to come. Her approach is calm and personal. Before the session Monique discusses your wishes — whether you prefer intimate black-and-white images, soft studio portraits or atmospheric photos at a favourite outdoor location. In the studio serving the Merenwijk/Leiden area several backgrounds and lighting set-ups are available; on-location she seeks spots with gentle light and a natural atmosphere. During the shoot she keeps a relaxed pace, offers practical styling tips and guides poses and composition so you feel comfortable and natural, resulting in sincere, loving images. Safety, comfort and attentive care are central. Maternity shoots are conducted with respect for your boundaries and well-being; there’s time and space to change outfits and to include your partner, child or other loved ones in the photos. Monique works with soft lighting, muted colours and a subtle, timeless retouch that places emotion and connection at the heart of every image. The result is a personal series of maternity photos you can keep and display in various ways — from a private digital gallery to prints and canvas. HappyFocus also offers tailored advice on which images work best for birth announcements, albums or wall collages, helping you choose the perfect formats to preserve and share these memories. While maternity photography is at the core of her work, Monique also photographs families and corporate profile pictures to complement her services.
