Milou Dijkstra Fotografie

As a specialist in maternity photography, Milou Dijkstra from Amersfoort documents your unique pregnancy journey with a documentary and tender approach. Milou works from a deep interest in life stories: no stiff poses, but images that reveal the softness, tension and closeness of this special period. A pregnancy shoot with her is about authentic moments — the touches, the glances and the small rituals that later become indispensable. Her working method is gentle and personal. There is always an introductory meeting beforehand to check the chemistry and to discuss boundaries and wishes. During the session Milou works unobtrusively; she creates a calm atmosphere in which you and your partner (and any children) can be yourselves. Whether we go outdoors into nature, stay in your home for an intimate lifestyle session, or combine both, the result is naturally lit, timeless photography that captures both emotion and aesthetics. Milou combines a background in documentary and photojournalism with specific training in birth and family imagery. That experience makes her sensitive to intimate moments and skilled at balancing discretion with closeness. Many parents describe the images as comforting and valuable: photographs that are not only beautiful to look at, but that also help to remember and connect. As a locally based photographer in Amersfoort, Milou is happy to work across Central Netherlands and takes practical wishes into account. She thinks along with you — from choosing the best moment for light to creating a relaxed flow during the shoot. For those who wish, a maternity session can be nicely connected to birth or newborn reportage that Milou also offers — making your visual story complete. Would you like a maternity shoot that truly feels like you? Send Milou a message for a no-obligation introductory conversation and discover how she captures your pregnancy with calm, attention and craftsmanship in images that will speak for a lifetime. Warm regards, Milou Dijkstra
