Romy Buitelaar Photography

I’m Romy — a passionate photographer from Krimpen aan den IJssel specializing in family photography. For me, a family photoshoot isn’t about stiff poses and forced smiles, but about real moments: the way siblings tease each other, a baby’s first curious gaze, or a little one’s spontaneous laughter. My style is warm, playful and natural; I look for the stories and moments that later become cherished memories. Why do families choose me? Because I bring calm and trust. With experience in portrait and family photography, I know how to make children feel comfortable — sometimes with a little game, often with patience and humour. Parents appreciate that I help think through locations (whether we shoot outdoors “where you want” or in my cosy studio), outfit choices and the best timing so everyone feels relaxed. I capture not only the family connection but also the small details: tiny hands, cuddles and spontaneous interactions that make a photo truly personal. How do I work with you? First we get in touch and discuss your wishes: location, style and which moments matter most. On the day itself I create a relaxed atmosphere — fun comes first. After the shoot you’ll receive your initial proof gallery in about four weeks. You choose your favourite images and I carefully edit them: colour correction, subtle retouches and the removal of small distractions so the focus stays on you. Whether you want a large family session, intimate child portraits or soft newborn photos that fit into your family story, I help you capture those moments. As a local photographer in Krimpen aan den IJssel I combine personal attention with a creative approach, and I promise one thing: a pleasant experience and images you’ll keep returning to for years. Ready for a relaxed family photoshoot full of real moments? Send me a message and we’ll plan your session together.
