Tessa Zwaan Fotografie

As a specialist in maternity photography, at Tessa Zwaan Photography I capture exactly what makes this special period so unique. Based in Vlaardingen, I work with natural daylight and a warm, pure aesthetic that shines through in every image. My focus is maternity photography — I’m here to preserve your pregnancy in a loving, relaxed way. Why choose a maternity shoot with me? Because I photograph with care. I prefer to work on a small, personal scale: together we decide beforehand where you’ll feel most comfortable — outdoors in the dunes or at home in that bright corner where the daylight is just right. During the session I give clear guidance, but above all I give you space to be yourself. No forced poses, only moments that feel genuine and true. My approach is gentle and playful. With small prompts and simple interactions spontaneity arises; that’s what creates the warm, emotional maternity photos you’ll want to return to again and again. I love using the golden hour for outdoor sessions because that soft light flatters skin tones and highlights your connection. If you prefer to stay indoors, I’ll find the loveliest light-filled spots and shoot using only natural daylight. Practical and attentive — that’s reflected in how I work. I advise you on clothing, colour choices and posing ideas; you’re also welcome to use my client wardrobe with dresses that suit my style. From first contact to delivery of the edited images, I personally guide you so the whole experience feels relaxed and celebratory. Whether you come alone, with your partner or with the children — a maternity session should feel like a treasured memory, not an obligation. From Vlaardingen I photograph across South Holland and help you find calm and confidence for the best possible result. Have questions or want to know the ideal time to book?
