The team

The art of portrait photography isn't about technique, but about human connection. How can you bring out the best in people in the short time they're in front of your lens? My curiosity about people and the image I envision when I meet you makes me feel completely at home with a camera in hand. Our team will make you feel welcome and seen.

I'm curious about you, who you are, what drives you, when you're at your best. Your deeper self. And I love to capture that person in a relaxed atmosphere.

In 2002, after losing my job, I knew I had to follow my heart. I went from salaried employment to freelance photography. And look now, here I am: at the helm of Xifotografie for almost 25 years. A studio where people find their true strength. In a shirt, or lingerie. Alone, with their loved one, with their children, or others dear to them. I SEE (XI) you. And I see your potential, even if you don't see it yet.

Tess ensures that everything runs smoothly and relaxed during your day here with us in the studio.

She is our jack-of-all-trades. She has a natural flair for styling, which is how she started with us as a photography assistant. But she has much more to offer. Behind-the-scenes marketing, beautiful graphic design, wrapping orders like real gifts, and she is always open to learning new things.

What she brings most of all is peace and attention. Tess ensures you want for nothing, before, during, and after your photoshoot experience.

Naomi is our make-up master. She sees at a glance how she can make you even MORE beautiful. Our studio style is natural glam. And that suits every woman perfectly. Sometimes a little more glam, and other times more 'au naturel'. Men also get a touch-up from Naomi.

Naomi is a daredevil: she loves long nails, dyes her hair weekly, and flutters her lashes. Her friendly and professional nature are the reasons we love working with her. She effortlessly adapts to your desired style, so feel free to discuss your wishes!
