Memories by Celina

I am Celina Caprino of Memories by Celina, a family photographer based in Nieuwegein and working throughout the Utrecht region. My passion is capturing the small, genuine moments that later turn into your most treasured memories. Rather than posed images, I aim to record your real connections and spontaneous moments: a sleepy head on mom’s shoulder, a mischievous grin from your little one, or that quiet instant when everyone is simply together. My approach is friendly, relaxed and child-focused. During a family shoot I create a safe, playful atmosphere where children can be themselves — no long checklists or forced smiles. I give gentle guidance and work a lot with interaction and play, so the most beautiful reactions arise naturally. Parents don’t need to worry about perfect posing; I make sure everyone feels at ease and I capture those spontaneous, warm moments. As a specialist in family photography I combine a reportage-style approach with a love for children’s portraits. That means you receive both candid interactions and carefully composed family photos: images that can hang on your wall at home and photographs that will become meaningful memories for your children in years to come. My style is pure and unposed, with attention to soft light, warm tones and natural emotion. Booking a shoot starts with a personal conversation where we discuss your wishes — whether you want a short outdoor portrait or a more extensive family session. During the shoot I work calmly and patiently, especially when young children are involved. After the session I carefully select and edit the images with an eye for mood and naturalness, so you receive a curated collection of photos you’ll enjoy for many years. Choose Memories by Celina as your family photographer in Nieuwegein when you’re looking for a specialist who cares about your story, brings calm to the session and captures unforced moments. Together we’ll create photos that come straight from the heart and keep your family’s memories alive forever.
