Family photography by MaritGrafie in Rijssen. Marit captures relaxed, authentic moments — from newborn and children's portraits to warm family photos, with creative retouching.
MaritGrafie is a specialist in family photography based in Rijssen. Marit Mekenkamp combines years of experience with a calm, personal approach to capture genuine, unposed moments. From her first analog camera and hours spent in the darkroom she developed not only technical skill but also a love for the magic of an image that simply feels right. Why choose MaritGrafie? Marit works with attention and an eye for detail. Her work is portrait-focused: she places family photography and children's portraits at the centre and ensures each image tells a story. Whether it’s a spontaneous outdoor family session, a newborn lifestyle shoot at home, or a children's portrait in the studio, Marit seeks those natural emotions — smiles, quiet moments, touches — that make a photograph timeless. How Marit works: she creates a safe, relaxed atmosphere where everyone can be themselves. There is always time beforehand to discuss what matters to you: favourite locations around Rijssen, special moments you want captured, or styling preferences for the final editing. During the shoot Marit gives subtle direction and works as much as possible in a documentary style so that the interactions between family members remain central. What sets Marit apart is her combination of photography and image editing. With a background in applied design and years of experience as a photographic assistant and picture editor, she brings imagination and technical finesse together. Marit uses professional tools (Adobe Creative Cloud, Photoshop and Lightroom) to edit images without making them look unnatural — always preserving mood and emotion. Location and flexibility: as a Rijssen-based photographer, Marit is at home in the landscapes and urban settings of Twente, but she also works at your home for intimate newborn or family sessions. Her approach is personal and focused on capturing memories you’ll enjoy looking back on for years to come. Interested in a tailor-made family shoot?
