As a family photographer in Sneek, Marijke captures pure, timeless moments. With her calm approach and experience as a preschool teacher, children and parents quickly feel at ease.
I’m Marijke, the person behind Marijke Woltjer Photography, based in Sneek. Photographing families is my passion: the interplay between parents and children, the small everyday moments and the gentle presence of a newborn — these are the images I love to create. My style is pure and timeless, sometimes with a subtle Boho touch, and I prefer to work with natural light to produce warm, authentic family portraits. As a mother and preschool teacher, I understand how important it is to create a relaxed atmosphere during a photoshoot. That experience helps me put children at ease, capture genuine smiles and spontaneous moments, and keep a sense of calm for the parents. My approach is personal and relaxed: we meet first, discuss your wishes, and together we find locations and moments that suit your family. During the session I focus on connection and small details — from a tender touch between parents to a child’s mischievous glance. I capture many documentary moments alongside atmospheric posed portraits, so you receive a varied and timeless visual story of your family. For expectant couples and young families I offer the same attention and care; the emphasis is always on authenticity and emotion. Whether it’s maternity photography in Sneek or newborn photography in natural settings, my goal is to preserve the feeling of those early days. Occasionally I create split portraits using natural light, but my core is the family: I consider it a great honour to record these early, precious moments so you can keep those memories forever. If my style speaks to you, you are warmly invited to get in touch. I’d love to talk with you about how we can plan a comfortable shoot that truly fits your family — with attention to detail, calmness, and a focus on your story.
