In Merenwijk (Leiden), Johanna of JCottin Photography specializes in maternity photography. Personal sessions where you feel relaxed, strong and beautiful, with attention to style and authenticity.
As a specialist in maternity photography, Johanna of JCottin Photography in Merenwijk (Leiden) captures your unique pregnancy story with care and love. With more than five years of experience as a photographer and videographer, she has developed a sensitive eye for the vulnerability and strength that define this period. Her work focuses on creating timeless maternity images that allow you to relive that special feeling of anticipation time and again. What sets JCottin Photography apart is the personal and calm approach. Johanna works in a guiding, non-judgmental way so you truly feel at ease during the maternity shoot — whether you choose understated clothing, an intimate at-home session, or a bold nude shoot. Everything is tailored to what makes you feel confident and beautiful. The sessions are designed to celebrate your body and emotions; authenticity and respect always come first. Style and atmosphere: Johanna combines a modern, editorial look with a documentary approach and a subtle vintage touch. The result is imagery that is both stylish and honest: elegant lighting and strong compositions alongside spontaneous, tender moments. Whether it’s close-ups of your belly, intimate portraits, or atmospheric outdoor shots, the emphasis is on emotion and timelessness. How the collaboration works: prior to the maternity shoot Johanna discusses your wishes and offers advice on locations, clothing, and poses. During the session she uses small directions and playful exercises to encourage natural interaction — an approach that also helps people who often feel uncomfortable in front of the camera. After the shoot she carefully selects and retouches your favorite images into a stylish collection of high-resolution photos. Based in Merenwijk but always willing to travel, Johanna is happy to meet you wherever your story takes place. Choose JCottin Photography for a maternity photographer who combines craft with warmth and respect — so you’ll end up with not only beautiful photos but tangible, timeless memories of this special time.
