Highly specialized family photographer in Lelystad, Sandra Smienk captures loving, spontaneous family moments in a relaxed lifestyle approach — at your home or a favorite local spot.
As a family photographer in Lelystad I focus on one thing: making important moments and memories tangible. I’m Sandra Smienk and I specialize in warm, natural family photoshoots where genuine emotion and connection are at the heart of every image. My style is loving, pure and spontaneous — photos that show you and your family as you really are. Why choose a family photoshoot with me? Because I work from calmness and attention. I don’t rely on rigid posing; instead I create a safe, playful atmosphere where children can be themselves and parents can relax. Those relaxed moments — a hug, a giggle, a look — become the most beautiful images. I usually work in your familiar environment (lifestyle sessions at home) or at an outdoor location in and around Lelystad and Flevoland, so the photos truly tell your story. How does a photoshoot run? We start with a brief conversation to discuss your wishes: which moments do you want to preserve, which atmosphere are you after, and who will join the session? During the shoot I focus on natural interaction and play. I give gentle prompts but mainly let the family dynamics guide the session. With patience and a sense of humour I often get even the shyest children to laugh. I work with natural daylight and choose locations and angles that enhance calm and intimacy. In addition to family photography I have experience with newborn and baby photography; I apply that expertise to family shoots with young children as well. All of this is done without imposed poses, with attention to detail and respect for your family’s rhythm. I also have a small selection of clothing pieces available to help harmonize the look and mood of the images. Born and raised in Lelystad, I work with a genuine love for the region. My approach is personal: I want you to leave not only with beautiful photos but also with a relaxed memory of a lovely morning or afternoon together. Interested? Get in touch for a meeting and we’ll discuss which location, style and moments suit your family best.
