Ylva Janssen Fotografie

Hi, I’m Ylva — a dedicated family photographer from Delfzijl who captures real, warm memories. My passion is family photography: recording hugs, small discoveries and the subtle looks between parents and children. I work from a place of calm and spontaneity and believe the most beautiful photos appear when everyone can simply be themselves. My approach is close and personal. I like to get in touch before we meet to discuss your wishes and together choose a location or mood that suits your family. During the session relaxation is central: few forced poses, lots of play, movement and interaction. That way natural images arise that bring you straight back to that true feeling of the moment. As a former primary school teacher I’m used to working with children: I know how to build connection, how to use play and how to put kids at ease so their personalities can shine. That makes my child portrait and newborn work approachable and full of care — for shy little ones as well as energetic playmakers. I believe in timeless, warm editing that enhances the emotion and intimacy of the moment without overdoing it. I also like to think practically with you: from choosing the best light (think golden hour) to outfit advice and the use of my client wardrobe to support your styling. My goal is that after the session you not only have beautiful photos, but also a lovely experience and a memory you return to again and again. As a photographer based in Delfzijl I mainly work with families from the area; I know many beautiful locations and enjoy working with natural light and gentle poses. Newborn and baby photography I approach with patience and care, always with attention to comfort and safety. Would you like a relaxed family session focused on pure moments?
