As an experienced family photographer, Maxime combines a love of authenticity with calm, confident guidance: the result is imagery that is not only beautiful but also true to who you are as a family. Why choose Seen by Maxime? Authenticity comes first. Rather than forcing poses, Maxime seeks the small gestures, spontaneous glances and natural moments that make each family unique. Her style is warm, natural and editorial — ideal for families who want images that still feel meaningful and relevant years from now. What makes the approach special? Maxime creates a relaxed atmosphere where adults and children feel free to be themselves. She has extensive experience with family sessions that include young children, pets or multiple generations, and she knows exactly how to combine calm direction with play to capture real emotion. Many clients describe the shoot as feeling more like a pleasant walk or an easy afternoon together than a formal photoshoot — and that ease shows in the final images. How does working together look? It starts with a personal consultation: what are your preferences, which locations appeal to you, and what kind of energy do you want to convey? Together you plan the location and styling, and on the shoot day Maxime provides subtle guidance while leaving room for spontaneous moments. After the session she carefully edits the images to deliver timeless, magazine‑worthy photos you’ll be proud to hang on the wall or share online. Maxime operates from Heerlen and is happy to travel when needed — blending Dutch sensibility with a deep appreciation for light and atmosphere. Whether you want to capture an intimate family gathering, portraits of young children, or memories including your dog, Seen by Maxime puts your story at the center. Let’s create something beautiful together: a timeless collection of family photographs that preserve your memories and make them visible for years to come.
