Your Pregnancy and Maternity Photographer in Amsterdam

When it comes to pregnancy and newborn photography, it is natural to think about a studio session with staged poses. As an on-location lifestyle maternity photographer, I come to your house to capture this exceptional moment in your life.  In addition to immortalizing the joy and beauty of your pregnancy, this shooting will also allow capturing family moments and details of your house, particularly the room you have prepared for your little treasure who will soon join the family. And once your little one is born, a lifestyle photoshoot is a way to snap and memorialize the first smile or the first steps of your little wonder

A maternity or newborn lifestyle on-location session will give a more spontaneous and natural effect to your photos, capturing the atmosphere of your everyday environment.

A relaxed and spontaneous photo report that will document this wonderful event and tell a story, YOUR story!

This type of photoshoot requires a bit more preparation and patience, the time to catch some genuine moments, but also for you to have a rest if needed or during a family session to take care of your little one. A 2 hr session minimum is recommended, for a relaxed and fun experience!

Do not hesitate to contact me to discuss your project and your wishes!

Capture inestimable, everlasting and unique memories
of this very special time of your life with candid and authentic images

I had a great time shooting with Melanie. She's just so friendly and professional. She will keep you at ease during the photoshoot that makes the picture looks natural. There's no dull moment when working with her. Plus points is she deliver the pictures ahead of agreed time. I strongly recommend her for everyone who wants to have fun while taking great photos in the Netherlands.

I can only say: Melanie is very flexible, dedicated and perfectionistic in her work. She prepares very well and leaves almost nothing to chance.

During our wedding preparations we had our first meeting. We got to know her in advance, and she helped us to improve our wedding schedule. Very nice.

Several weeks before our wedding, Melanie travelled from Amsterdam to our wedding venues. Together we decided what the best location was for group photo's (in terms of daylight and group size) and for our brides couple photo's. Superb.

During the wedding she was Melanie was very energetic and enthusiastic - for over eight hours straight. Her pictures are beautiful, and she even made some small videos for us.

We are very happy with the 1700 photo's 🙂

Melanie recently took photos during our party, with great results. I think taking pictures of people dancing in a dark room is the hardest thing there is, but Melanie managed it. And how! All photos razor sharp, people laughing, friends dancing, well lit. Thank you very much for this lasting memory.

Professional photographer with the friendliest and kindest attitude! Melanie offered so many solutions and ideas for our proposal photoshoot and helped keep me calm as plans changed due to weather or last minute hiccups. I was able to stay in constant contact with her and everything went according to plan. Highly recommend!!

For our PR workshop of the German National Tourist Board in September 2020 (corona-proof edition) we worked together with Melanie and were more than satisfied! Melanie is very professional, the planning and communication before the event was uncomplicated and fast. She brings her own ideas, but also pays close attention to what the company wants. The results are really great - Melanie definitely has an unique way of capturing people's emotions. Thanks again for your great work and see you at our next event!
