Specialist in family photography in Deventer: relaxed family photoshoots, children’s photography and newborn sessions. Authentic, light and colorful images with personal attention.
As the family photographer behind FotoGrietje, Grietje Mesman transforms family moments into images that speak for years. With her distinctive light and colorful style she searches for authenticity, emotion and simplicity — creating photos that feel strong and timeless. Based in Deventer (and regularly working around Haarlem), she fosters a relaxed atmosphere where families, babies and children feel free to be themselves. Why choose FotoGrietje for your family photoshoot? Grietje has worked full-time as a photographer for many years and has extensive experience with family shoots, children’s portraits and newborn photography. She is calm and patient, knows how to put children at ease (and sometimes brings a favorite cuddly toy to win attention), and she guides parents and grandparents with warmth and joy. That’s how spontaneous moments and authentic interactions arise — the very images you’ll later say: “That is our family.” Her approach is personal and practical. Before the shoot she takes time to discuss your wishes: which mood are you after, do you prefer studio photos or outdoor scenes in nature, and are there special moments or details you want captured (baby items, birth announcement, family relationships)? On the day she ensures a calm, relaxed session; for newborns she works with extra care and tranquillity, and for children she responds to their curiosity so the photoshoot becomes a fun experience. Grietje is happy to advise on locations in and around Deventer — from picturesque old-town streets to woodland, park or the IJssel river area — and she can also photograph in your home. After the shoot you’ll receive a selection of images and can choose which photos you’d like edited and delivered in high resolution. Want tangible keepsakes? FotoGrietje also offers beautiful photo products and albums that stylishly preserve your family’s story. Whether you want a brief family portrait for a special occasion (birthday, communion) or an extended multi-generation session: FotoGrietje is the right place. With an eye for detail, a calm presence and a love of people, Grietje delivers family photography that truly fits your family.
