Natural lifestyle photography for families, couples and maternity sessions at Lake Maggiore
Family photography, couples sessions and secret proposals, maternity or babymoon sessions, and relaxed holiday sessions by the lake — all captured in a natural and honest way.
Based at Lake Maggiore in Northern Italy, these sessions are designed for those who value real moments over posed perfection. Whether you’re visiting the lake for a holiday, celebrating a new chapter, or simply want to remember a season of life, the focus is always on connection, atmosphere, and the beauty of the in-between.
Soft light, natural surroundings, and a calm, intuitive approach — creating images that feel timeless, warm, and true to you.
Available for sessions around Lake Maggiore, including Luino, Cannobio, Isola Bella, and surrounding areas.
MEET THE PHOTOGRAPHER
IITALY – EUROPE
I’m Maaike, a photographer based in Italy, where I live with my husband and our two beagles. Life here — surrounded by nature, good food, and quiet moments — shapes the way I see and the way I photograph.
I’m inspired by honest stories, meaningful connection, and the subtle beauty found in everyday life. My work is about capturing people and places as they truly feel: warm, real, and full of atmosphere.
MY APPROACH
My approach is natural, gently guided and never overly posed. The goal is not perfection, but photographs that feel warm, timeless and full of life.
kind words from past clients
We had an amazing experience with Maaike for our engagement shoot. She was incredibly attentive to detail and made sure we felt comfortable throughout the entire process. She listened to what we wanted as a couple and brought our vision to life in such a beautiful way. The photos turned out great and we couldn’t be happier.
