Kirstin Kraaijveld Fotografie

Kirstin Kraaijveld specialises in family photography from her base in Hellevoetsluis. With years of experience and a recognisable, narrative style, she doesn’t take posed snapshots but captures small, genuine moments — the playful glances of children, the tender touches between parents and the warm glow of evening light. Why choose a photoshoot via fotoshoot-gezin.online with Kirstin? She works with a caring, calm approach: personalised attention, clear styling tips beforehand and a short intake to understand what you want to preserve. During the shoot she creates a relaxed atmosphere with simple games and gentle prompts so children join in naturally without pressure. Trained in Moment Design, Kirstin knows how to evoke and capture sincere emotions so your photos truly reflect who you are as a family. Her preference for natural light — especially the beloved golden hour just before sunset — gives images a timeless, warm feel. Whether you choose a short family shoot on the beach, an extended session in the woods or portraits of a baby or toddler, Kirstin finds locations and moments that suit you and ensures everything feels like a beautiful, effortless gathering. Although family photography is her core speciality, Kirstin also has experience with maternity reports and photos of young children and babies. She combines professional expertise with patient, playful methods so little ones quickly feel at ease. After the shoot she delivers carefully edited images that bring back the atmosphere of the day — soft light, real expressions and, where appropriate, subtle black-and-white edits. As a resident of Hellevoetsluis and a mother herself, Kirstin understands how important family photos are: they are memories for later. On fotoshoot-gezin.online she invites you to an introductory meeting to align your wishes with her working method. The result is a collection of images full of warmth, emotion and real family life — exactly as you are.
