Marije van der Vies Fotografie

As a specialist in family photography in Leerdam, Marije van der Vies focuses on one thing: creating memories you’ll look back on with a smile. Her style is warm, natural and honest — no forced poses, but attention to genuine moments between parents, children and one another. Marije works from curiosity and gentleness: she takes her time, makes you feel at ease and looks for those small glances, touches and spontaneous smiles that truly define a family. During a family shoot Marije often chooses soft moments outdoors or a familiar spot at your home. She prefers to plan sessions around the golden hour because that beautiful, warm light enhances the atmosphere of your family. Her approach is relaxed: walking from place to place, time to chat and moments where children can simply be themselves. Occasionally she gives a small prompt to encourage more natural interaction, but most of the most beautiful images appear in between — just as you are. Marije places great value on a personal collaboration. Beforehand she takes the time to get to know you, so everyone quickly feels comfortable and the session runs smoothly. In post-processing she opts for natural colors and timeless edits, so the photos remain beautiful and recognisable for years to come. The result: a collection of family photos full of connection, warmth and authenticity. Although family photography is her core speciality, Marije happily applies her calm approach to related moments such as maternity shoots and weddings. Her mission remains the same: to capture your story honestly and lovingly, with an eye for the small memories that feel so big.
