Pure Belly

At Pure Life Photography, we capture your pregnancy just as you are: powerful, feminine, soft, and completely unique. We take the time to create a photoshoot that suits you perfectly, with room for relaxation, spontaneity, and beautiful emotions.

Not sure what to expect? Don’t worry. Whether you are pregnant with your first child or already have children running around: you are in good hands. One of our experienced photographers will ensure you feel completely at ease, so you can shine on camera – even if you don’t feel like it for a moment.

Our client closet: no stress about your outfit

We have our own client closet: an extensive collection of exclusive maternity dresses in all styles, sizes, and colors, included as standard in every package. You don’t have to search for or buy anything yourself – together we will choose what suits you best on the spot. Curious to see what we have? View our full dress collection here.

Studio or outdoor location

Whether we meet in our cozy photo studio in Vilvoorde, or at an outdoor location in nature, by the water, or in the city – you choose the atmosphere. We are happy to help you think about the right location and styling.

Frequently Asked Questions

Here you will find answers to the most frequently asked questions.

When should I book my maternity photo shoot?2026-07-26T22:51:26+02:00

Schedule your photoshoot when you are about 28 to 32 weeks pregnant — this is usually when your belly is beautifully round, but you still feel well enough to stand or pose for longer periods. Are you further along in your pregnancy? Book your spot as soon as possible, and we will look at the possibilities together.

What attire is best to wear during my maternity shoot?2026-07-26T22:51:54+02:00

We have an extensive collection of exclusive maternity gowns in various styles, sizes, and colors, so you don’t need to bring anything yourself if you prefer not to. Do you have your own outfit in mind? If so, choose soft, flowing fabrics that beautifully showcase your bump, and avoid busy prints or bright colors that might be distracting.

What should my partner and children wear?2026-07-26T22:52:15+02:00

Choose calm, neutral colors that coordinate well with your outfit — think of soft tones like white, beige, gray, or pastels. Avoid too many busy prints or bright colors together, so the photo remains calm and timeless.

How can I best prepare for the photo shoot?2026-07-26T22:52:37+02:00

Make sure you are well-rested and eat on time so you feel energetic. Arrive on time, but above all, try not to worry too much — we take our time and guide you throughout the entire shoot, even if you feel a bit uncertain.

When and how will I see the photos?2026-07-27T08:39:04+02:00

A few days after the shoot, you will receive an online photo gallery with a wide selection from your photoshoot. These photos are unedited at that stage, allowing you to freely choose your favorites. You can order your selected photos (and any extras) through the same gallery, after which we will edit and post-process them to achieve the final result you expect from us.

Can I keep my photos private?2026-07-27T08:39:06+02:00

Before your shoot, you will receive a short questionnaire from us, in which we always ask for permission to use your photos, for example on our website or social media. The choice is yours: yes, no, or only without attribution. We fully respect your decision.

Can I receive the original, unedited photos?2026-07-27T08:39:08+02:00

No, we never release unedited photos or RAW files for download. You will always receive the edited, finished photos from us.

What is the price for extras?2026-07-27T08:39:10+02:00

All prices for additional digital photos and photo products can be found in our webshop / your photo gallery – you can also order your selection there immediately.

We had a wonderful time during yesterday's photoshoot. Joke helped a lot with her suggestions (dress, background choice, way of posing, etc.) and made us feel comfortable throughout the session. We were smiling and laughing which made the entire experience a happy and memorable one. Joke's professionalism behind the camera is admirable and her rapport with her clients is equally outstanding. I cannot wait to have our baby's photoshoot with her as well. ❤️

Joke made our experience very memorable. She is very friendly and made us very comfortable. She is very professional. She gave us clear instructions about practical details. She clicked very natural, candid shots as we wanted. We will for sure come again for the baby shoot.

Our photoshoot with Joke was absolutely wonderful. We never imagined that it could be so comfortable, fun and memorable.
It is difficult to choose what is the best: perfect website, easy availability of appointments via google, Joke's flexibility with her clients, her work and studio or everything ! I would highly recommend Joke's services through Pure Life Fotografie and can testify this that you can trust her with eyes closed! Eagerly waiting for the final product, we are sure that we will take her services in future too (& recommend to our friends as well).
