Studio Van de Ven & Co

As a specialist in family photography, Studio Van de Ven & Co elevates family portraits in Delft to a distinct, artistic standard. Heleen van de Ven combines years of international experience with a warm, personal approach. Her work is often described as “Art with a capital A” — images that go beyond a single moment and behave as timeless portraits designed for your wall. Why choose Studio Van de Ven & Co? Heleen works with patience and calm, an approach that helps young children and new parents relax. Whether it’s newborn photography, baby and child portraits, or a full family shoot around a baptism, communion or birthday, Heleen seeks the unique qualities in each family member. She captures character and connection and translates these into powerful, carefully hand-edited images. What makes her method special is the attention to relationship and experience. Before the camera clicks there is always a brief meet-and-greet: who are you, what makes your family special, and which mood do you want the photos to reflect? During the session Heleen takes her time, creates a relaxed atmosphere and gives subtle guidance so everyone can appear as naturally as possible. For parents this results in beautiful, honest family photos; for children it becomes a safe, playful experience in which their personality can truly be seen. After the shoot follows a careful selection and refined post-processing: each image receives manual attention so skin tones, expression and lighting are optimised. For clients who wish, we collaborate towards a stunning final product — museum-quality prints or wall art that present your family story with lasting beauty. Studio Van de Ven & Co is based in Delft and works locally, with on-location sessions available for special requests. If you are looking for a family photographer who combines quality, warmth and an artistic vision, Heleen offers a personal experience and results that will be treasured for generations.
