Newborn shoot

As a post-partum nurse (kraamverzorgende), I know like no other how the first days with a newborn are a whirlwind — tiredness, laughter, chaos, and a kind of love that fills the whole room. That’s exactly what I like to photograph: the real atmosphere of your home, as it is. I’ll move quietly through the space, catching the small, honest moments — feeding, cuddling, resting.

And of course, we’ll take a few of the classics too — the family portrait, the cradle, that proud look you can’t hide.

NB: I used to do these shoots years ago, but am currently rebuilding portfolio during my nursing work, which is why I only have photos of one family here. For this reason, I can use photos I take of you for portfolio, I will give a discount!

Practical information

Timing

Ideally within the first few weeks after birth (considering my experience in post-partum care (kraamzorg) I’m comfortable coming as soon as you like), but any age is welcome.

Location

Always at home or a familiar place.

Duration

Around 2-3 hours, depending on the baby’s rhythm and if there are specific moments like a feeding or a bath you want documented.

Style

A mix of documentary and classic images — quiet observations and timeless family portraits

Sessions start from €300,- and include a relaxed (video) call to plan your shoot, the session itself, and a curated selection of at least 20 high-res, coloured images. Additional black and white edits optional. Delivery within 1-2 weeks.

If you’d like to plan a newborn shoot or have a question, feel free to get in touch. I’m always happy to discuss ideas and create something that feels truly personal.
