Martin Hokke Foto-Design

As a holistic photographer, I have specialized in maternity photography because this period holds so much meaning and energy. In my work I look not only for the perfect light or the best composition, but also for the connection: between you and your body, between you and your partner, and between you and the surroundings. That connection makes a maternity image timeless and personal. My approach is calm and connecting. I work from my studio in Pijnacker, but I also love to go outdoors with you — to the woods, the beach, or a location that is special to you. Many expectant mothers appreciate being photographed in a familiar environment; for that reason I prefer to create a warm, relaxed atmosphere in which you feel safe and seen. That sense of security shows in the images: soft lines, attention to the belly, and room for subtle emotion. What sets me apart is my holistic perspective: I observe what arises in the moment and let the session flow with your feeling. During the shoot I ask gentle prompts and make space for silence — often this produces that one effortless image that brings everything back later. My more than 30 years of experience across diverse photography — from portrait to interior — helps me effectively combine composition, light and atmosphere for a style that is both natural and refined. After the session I make a careful selection and professionally retouch the images so colour, contrast and detail enhance the emotion without becoming artificial. You will receive your photos via a personal online gallery; options for prints and canvas ensure the memory can also become a tangible presence in your home. In short: are you looking for a maternity photography specialist in Pijnacker who works with attention, calm and a holistic view? I’m Martin Hokke — I would be honoured to help you capture this special period honestly and lovingly.
