As Mijdrecht’s family photography specialist, Maryse creates relaxed, natural family shoots and children’s portraits — dreamy outdoor sessions or timeless studio work, with focus on real moments.
Maryse Hettinga of Maryse Fotografie specialises in family photography and focuses on warm, authentic images in which you recognise yourselves as a family. As an internationally award‑winning photographer and a mother, she understands how special and intense parenthood can be. She translates that experience into photos that are honest, gentle and full of emotion — not posed perfection, but attentive to real moments. Why choose Maryse Fotografie in Mijdrecht? Because Maryse works from a clear mission: to reconnect mothers and families with their own strength. Her style is both natural and painterly; she uses soft lighting and calm compositions so the images feel timeless and can proudly hang on your wall. Whether you opt for a shoot in nature — dreamy, bare‑foot moments in the golden hour — or an intimate studio session with subtle, painterly backdrops, Maryse creates a feeling of calm and trust throughout the photoshoot. How does she work? Maryse creates a relaxed atmosphere with humour and patience. She truly takes the time to put children and parents at ease, speaking reassuringly and shaping the session around play, touch and spontaneous moments. There are no rushed poses, but skin‑to‑skin moments, genuine laughter and subtle glances that show who you are. For families from Mijdrecht, De Ronde Venen and surrounding areas she is often found outdoors, and she’s also happy to travel to locations like the Amsterdamse Bos or Hilversum for special settings. What can you expect from the images? Intimate portraits that radiate warmth and closeness, children’s photos that reveal your child’s personality, and family images that turn ordinary moments into lasting memories. Maryse carefully handles post‑processing so each image receives the right atmosphere — soft, pure and with a touch of magic. In short: if you’re looking for a family photographer in Mijdrecht who captures genuine family stories with humour, attention and craftsmanship, Maryse Fotografie offers a personal experience and evocative work you’ll want to look at every day.
