Mijke Derks Fotografie

As a specialist in family photography in Almelo, Mijke Derks does more than take portraits — she captures the character and emotion behind every family. For Mijke, photography is more than an image: it’s your life preserved in color or black-and-white. With years of experience in shoots for families, children, babies and newborns, she creates images that truly feel alive and that you will cherish. What sets Mijke apart is her playful, patient approach. She allows plenty of time during each session so children can feel safe and free — no forced poses, only natural interaction. Whether in her cozy home studio, with the mobile studio at your home, or at a beautiful outdoor location, the atmosphere is always relaxed and joyful. Mijke prefers to work with natural daylight or her special studio lights to create soft, timeless images. A family photoshoot is all about connection: small looks, spontaneous smiles and those priceless moments between parents and children. Mijke even manages tricky situations with teens or shy children, turning them into light, honest images through games, humor and calm guidance during the shoot. For newborn and baby sessions she uses a loving, safe approach and captures both posed and lifestyle moments — from a tiny hand to a big family cuddle. The collaboration always begins with a personal consultation to discuss your wishes and ideas. During the shoot, Mijke ensures a warm, informal atmosphere; afterwards you receive a selection of carefully edited photos digitally, in both color and black-and-white, so you can keep, print or share the memories your way. Choose Mijke Derks Photography if you’re looking for a family photographer in Almelo who notices character, has patience with children and a passion for capturing real moments. Her goal is always the same: to create photos that move you, that you keep returning to, and that are treasured for generations.
