As a family photographer based in De Meern, Moniek van Selm tells stories through images. Her goal is always the same: to make the small, meaningful moments visible and tangible. Whether it’s a relaxed family session at your home, a playful shoot in the park, or an in-home lifestyle newborn reportage, Moniek works from a place of calm and attention so you feel comfortable and the session unfolds naturally. What sets Moniek apart is her love for documentary, lifestyle-style family photography. She looks for real interactions and little gestures: a hand on a belly, an unplanned laugh, a toddler’s quiet concentration. Her style is soft, natural and warm — images that take you back to how it truly felt. With experience in both newborn and children’s photography, she knows how to approach little ones: playfully and patiently, with short prompts and plenty of room for spontaneity. Working with Moniek feels personal and approachable. Before the shoot she discusses your wishes and favorite locations — from familiar spots in De Meern and Vleuten to green outdoor settings across the Utrecht region. During the session she fosters a relaxed atmosphere so even shy children can be themselves. Moniek gives subtle, practical guidance on poses and interactions while also capturing candid moments, ensuring you receive a varied, honest portrait of your family. After the shoot, Moniek provides careful post-processing: the selection is edited with an eye for mood and detail and presented in a private online gallery. This way you receive a clear collection of photos that truly reflect your family and lifestyle. Many clients appreciate not only the images but also Moniek’s relaxed approach and her ability to capture emotion and connection.
