By Jolí Photography (Esmee) creates pure, natural family photos in Arnhem. With a love for daylight and playful prompts she captures spontaneous moments and genuine emotion.
By Jolí Photography is your specialist for family photography in Arnhem. Esmee works with a warm, calm approach: she believes the most beautiful photos appear when people can simply be themselves. As a mother of two, she knows exactly how to put children at ease, notice small moments of connection and translate them into images you’ll want to revisit for years to come. Her style is pure and natural — attentive to detail, atmosphere and emotion. Rather than staged poses, Esmee prefers a relaxed approach: outdoor locations where children can play or your familiar home environment where authentic warmth and routines remain visible. She often works with natural light and likes to schedule shoots around the golden hour to capture the soft, warm light that gives her images character. How does it work? There is always personal contact beforehand to discuss your wishes, favourite locations and preferred style. During the shoot, Esmee gives short, playful prompts so you look less at the camera and more at each other — those are the moments that touch you most. The atmosphere is relaxed and playful; Esmee ensures both parents and children feel comfortable without forced poses. What sets By Jolí Photography apart? Esmee not only captures the big picture but also sees the little details: a tender gesture, a hand on a child’s head, a mischievous grin. Those details are essential to her because they often evoke the memories you’ll cherish most. Her work focuses on creating tangible memories — photos that bring you back to the moment every time you look at them. While family photography is at the core of her practice, Esmee also lovingly photographs newborns and maternity sessions as part of the family story. Words clients frequently use: warm, professional, attentive and relaxed. Do you live in or around Arnhem and are you looking for a photographer who sees and brings families close?
