Knaptoetje specialises in family photography in IJsselstein. With a playful, friendly approach I capture loving, natural family shoots—relaxed, authentic images that reflect your family.
Knaptoetje stands for one simple promise: be who you are. As a specialised family photographer in IJsselstein I help families relax in front of the camera so real connection and spontaneity shine through. My style is playful, warm and affectionate — photos that still bring a smile years from now. Why choose Knaptoetje? Because I believe the best family photos happen without forcing them. During the shoot I create an easygoing atmosphere with little games, jokes and gentle directions that work even with the most energetic children. Whether we meet at a favourite sandy spot like the Soesterduinen or in my cosy studio in De Meern, I create images that feel honest and that truly reflect your family. What makes my approach special is the combination of experience, patience and creativity. As a children’s and family photographer I know when to give space and when to guide — which produces pure moments full of emotion, from soft cuddles and mischievous glances to big laughter. My editing keeps colours soft and timeless so the photos look beautiful in your home or in a handcrafted album for years to come. How does a family shoot with me work? We always start with a short introduction to learn who you are and what matters to you. Together we choose the location and style — naturally at home, in my studio or on location such as the Soesterduinen. During the session I make sure everyone feels comfortable and I involve the children in a playful way. Afterwards I carefully select and edit the best images so your memories really come to life. In addition to family shoots I capture newborns with the same care, accompany maternity sessions and organise fun children’s photography like cake smash sessions and studio parties. Still, the heart of Knaptoetje remains family photography: professional, personal and accessible reportage-style sessions for families in and around IJsselstein. Curious to see how your family looks through my lens? Get in touch for a no-obligation introduction — I’ll come with a good mood and plenty of creativity.
