Photography Brenda

I am Brenda de Bruijn — the red-haired photographer behind the camera — and maternity photography is one of my greatest passions. As a specialist in maternity photography based in Papendrecht, I focus on capturing that unique, vulnerable chapter of your life. My style is warm, soft and sensitive; I look for spontaneous moments and small details that later reveal a world of meaning. Why choose a maternity session with me? Because I work from a place of calm and attention. During the session I aim to create a relaxed atmosphere where you can be yourself. No forced poses or artificial positions — instead there is room for genuine interaction, gentle touches and those vulnerable looks. My goal is that later you won’t just have a pretty photo, but a series of images that bring back the emotion and story of that period. How I work: we first get in touch via social media, email or phone and I listen to your wishes. Together we choose a location — often places that have personal meaning or that feel calm and timeless. During the shoot I guide you in a gentle, friendly way; I give soft directions and leave plenty of space for spontaneous moments. After the session I carefully select and edit the images with attention to color and black-and-white, so you receive a varied and cohesive gallery. I often send a short preview shortly after the shoot so you can have an early look. My drive comes from a love for detail and emotion. Since my first camera at sixteen, I have been drawn to small, meaningful moments: a hand on the belly, a smile full of anticipation, light shaping a soft contour. Outside photography I sing and find calm and inspiration in my faith and the community I belong to — that personal, engaged perspective is something I bring into every maternity session. Are you looking for a maternity photographer in Papendrecht who specializes in warm, intimate maternity photos with attention to real emotion and small details? I would love to discuss your ideas and create a relaxed, loving experience where your story is at the center.
