Kelly Slijkhuis Fotografie

As a family photographer in Nijmegen, Kelly Slijkhuis captures genuine moments with attention and calm. Since 2017 Kelly has been working joyfully as a portrait photographer and, through years of experience with children and young people, has specialized in children's portraits and family photography. Her strength lies in creating a relaxed atmosphere where family members—from toddlers to parents—feel free to be themselves. Kelly’s approach is personal and approachable. Before the camera clicks there is always a moment to get acquainted and discuss your wishes. Would you prefer an outdoor shoot or a studio session at home? Kelly adapts to your needs; a familiar environment often helps children relax and produces the most natural images. A shoot typically lasts around an hour, but Kelly paces the session according to your family so there’s room for play, laughter and spontaneous moments. What sets her apart is her patience and playful approach: with plenty of patience and a dash of humor she brings out the best in even the shyest children. Kelly works with a documentary sensibility for real life—no forced poses, but attention to interaction, eye contact and the small, recognisable moments that truly give a family its character. After the shoot you receive a contact sheet from which you choose your favourite images; Kelly carefully edits your selection and delivers the high-quality files via WeTransfer. There’s also the option to order prints for the wall or an album—physical keepsakes that last for years. While family photography and children's portraits are Kelly’s primary specialties, she also offers newborn shoots for those who have recently expanded their family. These sessions receive the same calm, personal treatment, although family photography remains her core expertise. Choose Kelly Slijkhuis Photography if you’re looking for warm, recognisable family photos made by an experienced portrait photographer from Nijmegen. Her personal approach, experience with children and careful editing ensure you receive real memories—imagery that tells your story in a loving, relaxed way.
