Elenza Fotografie

As a family photographer based in Leeuwarden (located in Bakhuizen/Gaasterland), Elina of Elenza Fotografie has one clear mission: to lovingly and honestly record your family story. With a warm, personal approach and attention to small, spontaneous moments, she creates images that not only show how you looked that day but, more importantly, how it felt. Why choose Elenza Fotografie? Elina is a true people person: calm, approachable, and sensitive to emotion. She believes vulnerability is a strength and that those relaxed, unposed moments are the most valuable. Whether it’s a family session in a dew-kissed meadow at sunrise, a cozy morning shoot at home with a newborn, or joyful children's portraits in the park, the atmosphere remains relaxed and affectionate. Her working method is personal and straightforward. Before the shoot there’s time to discuss your wishes: a brief introduction, guidance on clothing and locations, and room to share ideas. During the session Elina guides with gentle humour and patience; children are given space to be themselves, parents are put at ease, and all the small interactions between family members are captured naturally. The result is family photography full of colour, warmth, and a relaxed feeling—images you’ll return to again and again. Specialties within family shoots: Elina focuses on classic family photography and children's portraits and has extensive experience in newborn photography. She understands that newborn sessions require extra calm and care and ensures a safe, soothing setting where parents and baby are at the centre. Children’s portraits receive her easygoing attention: play, movement, and real laughter produce the best results. Elenza Fotografie works locally in and around Leeuwarden and happily travels to beautiful locations across Friesland. If you’re searching for a family photographer who combines warmth, spontaneity, and attention to detail, Elina is the one to lovingly capture your moments. Feel free to get in touch for a no-obligation introductory meeting—there’s only one way to find out if the connection feels right.
