Shirley Fotografie

As a specialist in family photography in Apeldoorn, I capture families as they truly are: pure, warm and relaxed. With a personal approach — through my lens, from my heart — I always look for those small connections: a spontaneous hug, a beaming smile, or a tender moment between parent and child. The result is a series of images that tell your story and can bring back that feeling whenever you look at them. I work with a calm, guiding style. I create a safe, playful atmosphere where children can be themselves and parents can unwind. With simple directions and playful little tasks I give gentle guidance without forced posing, so the best moments arise naturally. I love using locations in and around Apeldoorn — woods, fields and quiet outdoor spots — to create the natural, light-filled images that are characteristic of my work. Although family photography is my specialty, I also create loving newborn and baby photos in the same warm, documentary style. Every portrait receives attention to feeling and detail, so you don’t just get a pretty picture but a meaningful keepsake. I believe true emotion and small imperfections are often the most beautiful things; I capture those stories patiently and with an eye for atmosphere. Together we work step by step toward a relaxed shoot: first contact and preparation, then a personal choice of location and style, and on the day itself time and calm to simply be together. I’m happy to advise on clothing and little spots that suit your family. After the shoot you’ll receive the images in a clear online gallery so you can easily choose your favourite photos.
