FotootjeMet

As a mother of three, Marloes from FotootjeMet knows exactly how fleeting and precious family moments are. Inspired by her own family life, she builds her photography around one conviction: the most beautiful family photographs arise in a relaxed atmosphere where everyone can be themselves. In Leiden and the surrounding area she records everyday family life with calm, attention and a loving eye — from cosy moments at home to playful walks outdoors. FotootjeMet specialises in family photography and family photoshoots. Marloes works with a calm, natural approach: minimal posed setups, lots of small prompts and a focus on spontaneity. This keeps children relaxed and moving, allowing genuine expressions and reactions to be captured. Her style feels warm, pure and timeless — often with a subtle black-and-white look that emphasises emotion and connection within the family. Her working method is personal and approachable. Before the shoot she discusses with you which locations and mood suit your family best — whether that’s the familiarity of your home in Leiden or a favourite outdoor spot. During the session she creates a friendly, unhurried atmosphere where everyone feels welcome; she gives gentle guidance and leaves plenty of room for natural interaction. The result is a collection of family photos that truly tell your story: cuddles, small rituals and moments you’ll happily look back on. What makes FotootjeMet special is the combination of professional experience and the perspective of a mother. Marloes understands the rhythm of families and children and always takes the time needed to keep the session calm. She brings out the best in every situation — whether it’s your first family portrait or a reportage of children at play — and translates these moments into warm, recognisable images. Looking for a family photographer in Leiden who pays attention to your story and turns your family moments into lasting memories? FotootjeMet invites you to an easygoing photoshoot where your family is the focus. Together you’ll create photos to cherish.
