Stephanie

Van Der Mee

Based in Leiden, Netherlands, I’m Stephanie: lifestyle photographer, mom of two “Irish twins,” and passionate visual storyteller . My journey began in the depths of postnatal depression. Photography became my healing—transforming fleeting moments into lasting memories .

Today, I craft authentic, emotion-rich portraits—pregnancy, newborn, family, portrait, and “Mama & Me” shoots—rooted in genuine connection. My work isn’t about perfect poses; it’s about the laughter, tenderness, and small details that make your story uniquely yours .

With a warm, down-to-earth approach (and yes, I’m “a bit clumsy” and always smiling) (), I aim to make sessions feel natural and joyful. My mission? To help you relive the emotions behind each moment—so when you look back, you don’t just see the photo, you feel it.

Let’s write your next chapter together.
