Annelies Akkermans Fotografie

As a maternity photography specialist in Vlaardingen, I capture the unique and tender period of your pregnancy in a way that feels like you. My approach is relaxed, minimalist and focused on natural tones — I aim to create images that radiate calm and that you will look back on with warmth. Why choose a maternity session with me? I believe the power of a photograph lies in telling your unique story. I work with natural light, subtle compositions and genuine emotion. Whether you prefer intimate images at home or an outdoor location near Vlaardingen, I create a safe, calm atmosphere where you can feel at ease and be yourself. My process is personal and clear. We start with a short introduction — by phone, video call or over a cup of coffee — so I can hear your wishes and ideas. For maternity photography I recommend scheduling the session between 32–36 weeks, when your bump is beautifully visible and you often still feel comfortable. Together we decide on location, styling and any outfit changes so the images truly reflect you. During the session I work in a guiding but relaxed way: I give gentle directions so natural moments can arise. My style remains pure and honest; I pay attention to small details, loving glances and the connection in your family dynamic. After the shoot I carefully select and edit the images, focusing on warm, natural colors and a timeless look. You will receive the photos via a clear online gallery. I photograph many expectant parents and couples from Vlaardingen and the surrounding area and find it a privilege to preserve this phase. Many clients later continue their story with newborn or family photography — we’re happy to discuss combined options. Curious how your pregnancy could be pictured? Send a message and we’ll arrange a meeting to create images that feel like lasting memories. Warm regards, Annelies Akkermans Photography — maternity photography that tells your story honestly and beautifully.
