Paula Bouman Fotografie

Hi, I’m Paula. My passion is the connection between people: the little glances, a spontaneous laugh, or the comforting arm around you — those are the moments I look for. As a family photographer based in Woerden I work from that conviction: no forced poses, but real moments you’ll love to look back on. Why choose me? I photograph families and expectant couples in a warm, calm way. My style is natural and relaxed; I make sure children feel at ease by taking time, playing and giving space. That leads to authentic images showing real interaction and feeling. Whether it’s an outdoor session in the woods or on the beach, a lifestyle shoot at home, or a maternity photography session, I seek the light and compositions that support your family’s story. What makes my approach special? I combine attention to emotion with a calm, professional eye for composition and light. For newborn and baby photography I have a bright, atmospheric studio, but I’m equally happy to work at your home when a relaxed lifestyle session fits better. For maternity photography we choose a location and style together — sometimes intimate in the studio, sometimes dreamy outdoors at golden hour — so the photos really suit you. How do I work with you? Before the shoot you’ll receive practical tips and clothing advice so the images remain calm and timeless. On the day I create a relaxed atmosphere: I give gentle guidance without directing, invite play and connection, and take the time needed — especially with young children and newborns. After the session I deliver carefully edited images that preserve that feeling. Besides family and maternity photography I also share my knowledge through workshops and mentoring sessions for anyone who wants to learn how to capture children and families naturally. But my core remains: creating warm, emotional family photos from Woerden. With love, Paula Bouman — your specialist in family photography, maternity photography and newborn photography in Woerden.
