By Jacq Z

As a family photographer based in IJsselstein, at By Jacq Z I capture exactly what family life is about: warmth, connection and those small everyday moments that become treasured memories. Family photography is my core focus, so you can expect not only beautiful images but also an understanding of how to put children and parents at ease so photos feel natural and sincere. Why choose By Jacq Z? My approach is relaxed and personal. I work from a lifestyle perspective: no stiff poses, but atmosphere and movement — walking, cuddling, laughing. That’s how images are created that truly feel like you. My style is calm, minimal and light — I use as much natural light as possible and pay attention to details so the focus always stays on your story. How we work together: we always start with contact via email or message where you can ask any questions. You’ll receive a digital guide full of practical tips (clothing, timing, what to expect) and a short questionnaire so I can prepare well. On the day itself: nothing is mandatory, everything is welcome. I guide gently, offer small directions and leave room for spontaneity — which works best especially with children. After the shoot I select the best images and you’ll get access to an online Shootstack gallery to pick your favourites. I carefully retouch the chosen photos in my recognizable editing style and deliver them digitally. My workflow is clear and personal: good communication and a relaxed atmosphere are at least as important to me as the final result. In addition to family sessions I love photographing newborns and children, as well as joyful cakesmash sessions for first birthdays — all in the same relaxed, lifestyle style. As a local photographer in IJsselstein, I’m happy to be nearby: whether that’s at your home, in my studio or at a beautiful outdoor location. In short: if you want family photos that genuinely tell your story — warm, honest and attentive to detail — I’d love to help. Feel free to get in touch; I look forward to capturing your moment. Love, Jacq
