Mayken Lenting Fotografie

As a family photographer based in Harderwijk, I tell your story with images you can still feel. I'm Mayken Lenting: a mother of two and a specialist in family photography. My focus is on creating natural, warm family portraits where authenticity comes first. No stiff poses — instead I capture moments that appear when you relax: a laugh, a comforting gesture or a curious look from your child. Why choose me? Because I photograph from experience. As a parent I know how quickly the years pass; those small, everyday moments deserve a place in your memories. I work calmly and with involvement so children feel at ease and families can enjoy the moment. My style is soft in color, pure in emotion and always aimed at the connection between you. How I work: we start with contact — often first via a message or a short introductory chat. Together we choose a location that suits you: at your home for cozy newborn or baby sessions, or outdoors in nature for dynamic family portraits and child photography. For maternity and newborn sessions I offer styling advice and access to a client wardrobe so you feel comfortable and the images remain timeless. During the shoot I create a relaxed atmosphere with small prompts and playful guidance, leaving room for spontaneous interaction. My goal is always the same: to capture you as you really are. After the session you receive a personal gallery with a curated selection of images; I edit each photo carefully so every image keeps the right mood and emotion. Whether it’s a family photoshoot, child portrait, baby or newborn photography, I’m committed to creating memories you’ll return to together. I work locally in Harderwijk and would love to meet your family and capture your story through my lens. If you’d like to work together, send a message — I look forward to getting to know you and documenting the moments that matter.
