Knaptoetje

Congratulations on your little one on the way! As a specialist in maternity photography based in IJsselstein with a cozy studio in De Meern, Knaptoetje helps you preserve this special period truly and beautifully. My approach is playful, warm, and personal: no forced poses, but plenty of attention to who you are and the love you share. Why choose Knaptoetje for your pregnancy shoot? I work from feeling and experience. I know exactly how to make you feel relaxed and radiant in front of the camera—even if you don’t usually feel photogenic. I often recommend scheduling the session around thirty weeks, when your bump often looks its best and you usually still feel comfortable. Prefer earlier or later? That’s always possible by arrangement. How I work: we start with a complimentary consultation so we can see if we’re a good fit. After that you can choose a location that suits you: my homely studio in De Meern, the natural sandy plains of the Soesterduinen, or the comfort of your own home. During the session I work calmly and patiently; I give clear directions and little games so everything flows naturally and relaxed. You’re welcome to use the mama client closet so you don’t have to arrange every outfit yourself. My photography style is loving and timeless: soft tones, lots of natural light, and attention to intimate moments between partners and any siblings. Together we create images you’ll happily look back on for years—a large print above the sofa or a small album full of memories. Would you like to know more about what a maternity session includes? Please request the brochure; it contains practical tips, styling advice, and location options. I guide you step by step, with enthusiasm and care, so you can preserve this special phase exactly as you feel it. Being yourself is my motto — and you’ll see that in every photo.
