Mariska Scholtens Fotografie

Mariska Scholtens specializes in family photography and prefers to capture authentic family moments in and around Emmeloord. Her work is characterized by a warm, colorful style and a love for the golden hour: that soft, warm light that makes faces and connections glow beautifully. For Mariska, good family photography is about more than pretty pictures—it’s about documenting how you really are together. Her approach is always personal and calm. Before the shoot, Mariska discusses location, clothing and mood with you so the images will suit your family, but during the session she focuses on creating a relaxed atmosphere in which natural connection arises. She likes to combine light, posed moments with spontaneous interaction—this mix creates pictures that feel both timeless and genuine. Her background as an adviser in care gives her a natural sensitivity when working with children and families; that sensitivity shows in the honest, unforced images. Mariska loves color: her photos show tones as you remember them, without the overused beige filters. At the same time she pays close attention to portrait quality: the eyes, the smallest looks and the subtle emotion that makes a photo stronger. For portrait work she also has a small home studio where both daylight and flash lighting perform well—ideal for intimate family or individual portrait sessions. The result is meant to be displayed prominently: timeless images that keep bringing you back to those moments together. After the shoot Mariska carefully selects the best frames and edits them with patience and attention, so each image retains its own strength. If you want a warm, colorful and honest family series that feels like a piece of art on your wall, Mariska in Emmeloord is a reliable, involved specialist who captures your family naturally.
