Maternity photography in nature by Wild Heart Tales
A little about my approach

This chapter deserves
to be remembered.

Pregnancy is one of the most powerful, fleeting things a body ever does. The weight of it. The glow of it. The quiet anticipation. I photograph maternity sessions on location across the Netherlands — no poses that feel like someone else's idea of beautiful.

I'll find the light that works for you, suggest a location that feels right for the season, and then I'll step back and let the moment lead. You don't need to do anything except show up and be exactly where you are.

On location Nature, golden light, a place that's yours
Unhurried A full hour, just for you and this moment
Genuine Just you, as you are right now
What to expect

The details

The session

One unhurried hour,
just us and the light.

We meet on location — outdoors in nature, golden fields, or wherever feels like you. No rushing. I'll guide you gently through it all so you can just be present in this moment.

Sessions typically last 1 hour. I'll suggest some locations in your area based on the season and light, or we can use a spot that's meaningful to you.

  • 1 hour on location
  • Gentle posing guidance throughout
  • Partner, children & pets welcome

What clients say

★★★★★

Myrthe created two photo sets of our family — when I was pregnant and then with a newborn. Super welcoming environment. She allowed the newborn set to be slow and led by our baby. We felt very relaxed and cosy. And the photos are also beautiful. Our go-to photographer.

We had a wonderful time during the photo session with Myrthe. She made us all very comfortable and relaxed. My daughter (4) had a wonderful time as well, even though it was a bit cold. Highly recommended!

★★★★★

Wij hebben twee keer een shoot gehad bij Myrthe! Bij de eerste keer hadden wij een zo goed gevoel dat de tweede keer dit alleen maar bevestigde. Ze geeft goede tips, heeft leuke ideeën en de foto's werden supersnel geleverd. Professioneel, relaxed en precies zoals wij wilden!

Frequently asked questions

Between 28 and 34 weeks is the sweet spot — your bump is beautifully round and you're still comfortable moving around freely. That said, every pregnancy is different, so get in touch and we'll figure out the best timing for you.
Most sessions are on location outdoors — nature, golden fields, forests, or a spot that's meaningful to you. I suggest 2–3 locations based on the season and light. Indoor studio sessions are also available for a cleaner, more intimate setting.
You're welcome to borrow from my client wardrobe — a curated collection of flowing dresses in soft, neutral tones, included at no extra cost. Earth tones and soft neutrals photograph beautifully. Try to avoid dark colours, heavy prints, and logos, as they tend to draw attention away from the moment. You can also mix your own pieces with wardrobe pieces.
Absolutely — partners, children and even pets are very welcome. These sessions are about your family as it is right now, and everyone who matters to you is welcome to be part of it.
No stress — we reschedule at no cost. I always keep a flexible buffer for weather changes, so we'll find a new date that works for both of us.
Your edited images will be delivered within 2–3 weeks, straight to a private online gallery. From there you can download, share, and print — full printing rights are included, no watermarks, no extra fees.
Yes, I'm available anywhere in the Netherlands. Travel within Utrecht is included. For locations further away, a travel fee of €0.35 per km applies.
Simply send me a message via the contact page. We'll have a short, relaxed chat to talk through your ideas, timing, and location — and then we'll plan something beautiful together.
