Den Heyer Fotografie

As a specialist in maternity photography in Zoetermeer, Michelle den Heyer captures your pregnancy with an emphasis on authenticity and emotion. Her approach focuses on natural, intimate images: no forced poses, but moments as they truly are. Michelle works with available daylight and professional lighting to highlight the beauty of your pregnant body — soft yet powerful, timeless with the subtle raw edge that characterizes her work. Every maternity shoot begins with personal attention. First, you’ll get to know each other — by email, Zoom, or over a cup of coffee — so your wishes and ideas are clear. Before the session you plan a short inspiration meeting with Michelle: the mood you want, which clothing works best, and which locations suit your story. She advises on styling and poses so you feel relaxed and confident in front of the camera. Her studio on the Balthasarschans in Zoetermeer is a calm, daylit space where you’ll immediately feel welcome; if you prefer outdoors, she also shoots on location where the surroundings enhance your story. Timing matters for belly photography: Michelle often recommends the period around weeks 30–35, when the bump is well defined and you usually still feel comfortable. During the shoot she creates a warm, relaxed atmosphere where partners and family are welcome — there’s room for spontaneous moments and subtle direction when needed. The result is maternity photography that feels intimate and genuine, images you’ll proudly look back on for years to come. After the shoot you’ll receive access to an online gallery of all images and choose your favourites. Michelle carefully edits your selected photos in Lightroom and Photoshop, attending to colour and skin retouching where desired. Images are delivered in high resolution, ready for personal use and sharing. Want to give this special period as a present? Michelle also offers gift cards for a maternity shoot in her studio. If you’re looking for a maternity photographer in Zoetermeer who values authenticity, attention and a calm working method, Den Heyer Fotografie is the choice for your maternity shoot.
