Beautiful, elegant portraits that celebrate this season of your life

Pregnancy is a powerful and fleeting chapter, and one worth remembering with intention and care. Whether your family is close by or far away, your maternity portraits are a way to hold on to how this time felt: the anticipation, the connection, the calm before everything changes.

I'm Fernanda, a maternity photographer based in Amstelveen, photographing local and international families across Amsterdam in English, Portuguese, and Spanish. My style is clean, minimalist, and guided, so you feel relaxed and genuinely seen.

A Calm & Guided Maternity Experience

Every maternity session is fully guided so you feel comfortable and confident throughout the experience. From gentle posing to natural movement, you’ll receive clear direction while still feeling like yourself in front of the camera.

Sessions are unhurried and thoughtfully paced, allowing space for genuine moments and meaningful connection — whether you’re being photographed alone or with your growing family. 

Your maternity session takes place **in the comfort of your own home**, so there's no travel, no rushing, and no need to find a location. You're relaxed, surrounded by what's familiar, and the images feel personal and true to you.

I come to you anywhere in Amstelveen, Amsterdam, and the surrounding area, and we plan the best spot in your home for natural light together before the session.

When to Schedule Your Maternity Session

Maternity sessions are best scheduled between **26 and 34 weeks of pregnancy**, when your belly is beautifully defined and you're still comfortable moving and posing.

To make sure I have availability, I recommend booking **4 to 6 weeks in advance**, especially if you plan to continue with a newborn session later on. Many families book both together so the whole story is photographed by someone they already know and trust.

Styling & Wardrobe Guidance

Styling plays an important role in creating cohesive maternity portraits. I give you personalized guidance on wardrobe, colors, and silhouettes so you feel confident and comfortable, and I'm always happy to talk it through in English, Portuguese, or Spanish.

A Minimalist, Timeless Approach

My maternity style is intentionally simple and natural. By removing distractions, the focus stays on your pregnancy, your connection, and the emotion of this season.

The result is a collection of images that feel refined, emotional, and timeless: photographs you'll treasure long after your pregnancy has passed.

Many families who book a maternity session choose to continue documenting their story with a newborn session. Booking both together ensures availability during your baby’s first days and creates a cohesive visual narrative from pregnancy to newborn.
