Helena and Sisters

As a specialist in maternity photography, Helena and Sisters is fully dedicated to capturing the magic of your pregnancy. Based in Merenwijk, I work with a calm, personal approach so you feel at ease — because that relaxation creates the most honest, powerful maternity photos. My style is atmospheric, sometimes moody, and grounded in a raw honesty: what I see is what you get. Why choose Helena and Sisters for your pregnancy shoot? Because I treat maternity photography as both craft and story. I notice the small gestures, the light that frames your silhouette, and the emotion that often goes unnoticed in everyday life. Bump photography and pregnancy shoots are an opportunity to capture your bond, anticipation and vulnerability in images you’ll want to revisit time and again. How do I work with expectant parents? We take time beforehand to discuss your wishes: location (studio or outdoors), mood (soft, intimate or bold) and practical details like clothing and timing. Many sessions take place in my familiar studio setting, with flexibility for outdoor locations around Leiden or Voorschoten. During the shoot I guide you gently — minimal fuss, maximum attention to pose, touch and natural light. You select your favourite images later via an online gallery; I deliver carefully edited files that enhance the emotion and tone of the session. What can you expect from the maternity photos? Images with attention to composition, natural skin tones and subtle retouching so the photos remain timeless. Whether you choose intimate portraits, a loving family session with your partner, or pure bump photography, I create photos that tell your story honestly and beautifully. Service area and reach: I am locally based in Merenwijk and serve the surrounding area, with experience across the Leiden and Voorschoten region. If you’re looking for a maternity photography specialist who combines calm, craftsmanship and personal attention, please get in touch. Together we will create maternity photos that you’ll cherish forever.
