Ymke Frijters Fotografie

As a specialist in family photography in Tilburg, Ymke Frijters puts your family at the centre. With a clear preference for the real over the ‘Insta-perfect’, she works in a documentary-driven way: no forced poses, but moments that feel like you’re reliving them. Humor, small awkwardnesses and desperate cuddles — these are often the images you’ll laugh at or be moved by later. Why do people from Tilburg and the surrounding area choose Ymke? Because they don’t just book a photographer, they get someone who quickly creates a connection. Ymke likes to call herself your “bonus guest”: warm, empathetic and at the same time alert to those unexpected moments. With over ten years of experience and several awards to her name, she has developed a keen eye for composition, timing and the subtle interplay of emotions. Her style is journalistic: she observes, gives space and steps in only when it’s truly needed — so the photos feel natural and tell the story of your family. How does it work? Beforehand, Ymke takes the time to listen: what are your favourite spots, what dynamics are at play within the family, and where do you feel most at ease? On the day itself she creates a relaxed atmosphere where children can play and adults don’t feel like they have to 'perform' for the camera. Assignments are minimal; often small prompts or games elicit genuine interaction. That’s how spontaneous smiles, messy hugs and those priceless looks are captured — the ones you’ll want to look back on again and again. Although family photography is her core expertise, Ymke also has extensive experience in newborn and baby photography and is happy to provide portraits of children for special occasions such as baptisms, communions or birthdays. She works locally from Tilburg and knows the most beautiful locations for a family shoot — from natural areas to cosy urban spots — ensuring familiar and personal images. Your photos are carefully edited and delivered via a clear online gallery; afterwards you can choose prints, luxury albums or wall art to give those memories a proper place of honour. In short: with Ymke you choose a warm, honest and professional process that results in timeless family photos full of humour and emotion. More real than insta-perfect — and exactly for that reason, those images will stay with you.
