In 2022 I experienced my first boudoir shoot at XI photography. I was so happy about that for two years. In the end, there is a beautiful wall art in my living room from that shoot. Now I was allowed to participate in a campaign shoot. Another shoot like that! I couldn't believe my luck. And just like two years ago, I am so incredibly happy about that. Yolanda and her team make you feel so safe. They laugh. They discuss what you want and especially what you don't want. What makes you feel comfortable? You are standing in front of the camera and you have no idea what it looks like. Time flies by! And that is actually such a shame. I could go on for hours. It is so much fun. You feel so feminine. All kinds of poses are adopted, you can change lingerie sets. Everything is possible. It is one big party! Unlike two years ago, Yolanda now has the opportunity to show images immediately. And just like then, I actually have no words for what you experience. When you see yourself so beautiful and wonderfully depicted on screen. It really changes the way you look at yourself! As a woman, you can be really proud of who you are, of how you look. You, as a woman, are allowed to be seen! And you can also show that by hanging something so beautiful of yourself in your home. It's just art, only you are the main character. Who wouldn't want that?! It's really addictive. Yolanda also has various options to keep a lasting memory. By means of boxes, wall art. She thinks along with you. All in all, another wonderful experience. Which I am still enjoying now, after three weeks. Thanks XI photography. I can live off this experience for a few more years 😉 Lots of love, Annemijn

My photoshoot was a magical experience. It is so special to feel like a real model for a day. The reception in the studio by Yolanda and Tess was warm and cozy. A professional make-up artist was ready to make me completely beautiful in terms of make-up and hair styling. They listened to how I apply my own make-up, so that I would really appear as myself in the photo. What a treat. Then we went upstairs to the studio. I had expected to have some trouble posing, or to think too much, Yolanda was able to explain exactly what the intention was. It felt so relaxed. Looking at the result of the photos is unreal, so beautiful! Unbelievable that you can be photographed in such a beautiful way, without much tampering. Bizarre! Thank you for the unforgettable day. Just for one day I was a sexy supermodel!

My photoshoot was amazing. I would recommend anyone who is still thinking about or doubting whether to do this shoot to definitely do it. It will be an unforgettable day that is taken care of down to the last detail. You will be amazed at how beautiful you are and how beautiful Yolanda can take photos.
Sandra
Fantastic photoshoot done at Yolanda's. She really knows how to make it a very special afternoon in which warmth, connection, humor and coziness are central. With Yolanda you can be completely yourself. Choosing the most beautiful photos was difficult (because everything was beautiful 😊), but so much fun to do together. And the result: beautiful!!! The coffee table book (a new product) is highly recommended. Thank you Yolanda, for this beautiful memory. This was a welcome boost for me and my girls!

My sweet daughter gave me a mother/daughter photoshoot as a gift. She had contacted Yolanda in advance, who had already gotten a good picture of our bond by asking a lot of questions. We were warmly welcomed by Yolanda and Madelon and it immediately felt so familiar, which took away all the nerves of standing in front of the camera. After the super beautiful make-up by Madelon it was time for the shoot. That was so relaxed and relaxed. Yolanda is professional and gives good instructions and comes up with fun ideas for the photos. All the time was taken for fun combinations and outfits. It was super fun to do and also very cozy. The result was so overwhelmingly beautiful, our bond was captured so incredibly beautifully that my daughter and I had tears in our eyes! It was a day to never forget with beautiful photos

Was looking for a boudoir photoshoot for a while and after a long search I came across Xifotografie (Yolanda) I was called and it immediately felt familiar. When she told me the price of the shoot I had to swallow, I admit that honestly, but she is professional. And to be honest you can go and have a look but 80% of the photoshoots are expensive and if it is not expensive then the quality of the photos is less I speak from my own opinion and maybe that is not the case with everyone, but Yolanda is really professional and you can see that from the equipment she has and the quality of the photos. She has love for her profession and she has 1 goal to show all the people who come to her that they are perfect! On the day of the shoot I was received with a warm welcome I immediately felt at ease. The make-up and hair stylist has experience, but also knows what she is doing. She does everything according to your wishes and your opinion. The quality of hair and make-up are perfect no mascara from the action but real quality make-up and hair products. During the shoot Yolanda gives you very nice instructions on what to do and also puts you at ease as long as you relax everything will be fine. Tess Yolanda's assistant is also super sweet and helps Yolanda very well with the shoot and without Tess no fantastic video of the day the whole team is fantastic. So if you doubt I would say DO IT! You have already found the company! You get a fantastic shoot + fantastic day + great photos and a video Now that I have experienced this as an insecure young adult I would recommend it to everyone just to give yourself a boost that you are worth it! Because indeed you have art in your hands after your shoot! Art of yourself how cool! So (my motto) go for it! Because you only live once so plan that shoot quickly! And believe me you will definitely not regret it! Yolanda you are an amazing woman and I am still enjoying the day it was really an experience and cool to be able to do this!!

Recently did my 3rd shoot with Yolanda. For the 2nd time now boudoir shoot. After the period of not feeling so good in my skin, my partner asked me what had given me self-confidence in the past. That was a shoot with Yolanda! Not long after that, on his advice, I did another boudoir shoot with Yolanda. When entering Yolanda and Madelon, the "tension" you had beforehand had immediately disappeared. You are put at ease and made even more beautiful by Madelon and exactly the way you want it. And again I am incredibly proud of the results that have been created together. With Yolanda in the studio you feel familiar, safe and very comfortable. And then much more! 🩷

Had my photoshoot yesterday, what an amazing experience. The run-up to the photoshoot was also very nice, my questions and insecurities were answered and resolved. The shoot itself was amazing, what a top photographer and how she makes you feel so comfortable😊 Watched the end result in the mini cinema, impressed with myself😊 what beautiful photos, I couldn't keep it dry as expected😉 Very curious about my wall art. Thank you for this boost in my self-confidence💋
Sherrie
A beautiful, special and enriching experience. That is how I experienced the boudouir shoot with Yolanda. I found it very exciting, but Yolanda has the natural gift to quickly put you at ease. I was warmly welcomed, with a lot of humor and depth. Make-up and hair were done perfectly by Madelon and Tess did her best for the short video of the photo shoot. I recommend every woman who doubts about a boudoir shoot, to just do it! You will regret it later. The more often I look at the photos, the more I see the beautiful things about myself and start to look at myself differently. That is also exciting, but worth so much!
Esther
It was a bit of a drive, but I had a super fun day in the studio. Yolanda makes you feel super comfortable and the make-up was also great. Didn't know that was possible with my hair. The result of the photos was also great and I immediately knew which one my friend would choose for the wall. All in all a great success.
Richard
Jolan, I want to thank you for the fantastic shoot last Saturday. Being in front of the camera is by far one of my favorite activities. Plastic posing is not offered in a shoot with you, the ease and pleasure of being allowed to shoot photos with you was amazing. Thank you for this great experience. It felt like a party. And the result is fantastic. You get a big 5 stars from me. Big hug Richard
Lisa
More than half a year ago but still proud every day that I did this. What I was insecure about in the beginning, quickly changed “I can only say WOW! I was insecure about posing in lingerie and not having a size S how quickly this actually changed that day to a feeling of femininity! I still have that feeling! It really is a boost for your self-confidence! When you see the images, you can only think: is that me?! And WOW! So super beautiful! I can really recommend it to every woman!” Madelon transforms you into the best version of yourself and tess, well you can definitely have her, what sweethearts they all are. Xxx lisa

Dec 15, 2023, This my day is written in my agenda as a subtitle of boidoir. I went to Yolanda for a shoot in a neutral way, was warmly welcomed and felt like a warm bath, Madelon had also arrived and we felt more and more at home chatting and was transformed into a beautiful and self-evident full woman. (I already was 😄😍) Yolanda can go wild with me there, I didn't expect to do this but I did it and now I feel more pride coming up and I see myself back at the shoot wow I MAY BE THERE .. super beautiful body. Ladies with size more, please don't feel guilty about how you look you are beautiful, in your curves and full of joy and so do I. Every person is unique, regardless of what they look like, you are beautiful, unique and pure 😍

What a fantastic experience to do a boudoir photoshoot. Especially with Yolanda! From the first moment on the phone a very pleasant contact. During the shoot nice conversations but also a lot of laughs! The result is very beautiful. Very happy with it!
Marit
A boudoir shoot is a gift to yourself. It may sound scary, such a shoot in lingerie, but Yolanda puts you at ease. She also gives tips on how to pose best, sees opportunities/beautiful images without imposing herself or going beyond your boundaries. With such a photographer, the shoot cannot fail. Afterwards, you go through the most beautiful photos (I didn't know that 42 most beautiful photos of me could be taken in one morning) and choose the most beautiful ones. These are then edited by Yolanda. I can pick up my photos in 3 weeks and I can hardly wait. If you doubt whether you and your body are suitable for something like this, I say: Just do it! You won't regret it.
Patricia
The shoot exceeded all my expectations! The atmosphere was super nice, personal and open. That made me feel at ease right away when I entered. Yolanda leaves a lot of room for your own ideas, but together we came up with even more inspiration for the photos. Afterwards I really got a boost, especially after we had done the photo selection. In short, an experience that I would recommend to everyone.
Ana
It was an amazing experience! Yolanda and Nanda are very professional and talented, very sweet ladies. It is like you are with your girlfriends having fun! Thank you dear ladies for a day full of gorgeous energy and reminds me who I am when I felt lost. Love my pictures!

Had a super nice shoot. Had nice contact with Yolanda in advance about my wishes for the shoot. On the day of the shoot I was welcomed with something to drink and some snacks. We discussed what kind of photos/outfits we were going to use while my hair and make-up were done by Madelon. Madelon did a really beautiful natural make-up on me so that I still recognized myself well but just with that little bit extra 🙂 Furthermore, both Yolanda and Madelon were very friendly and open, which made us start the shoot wonderfully relaxed. We also laughed a lot during the shoot, resulting in great photos! I would definitely recommend anyone who wants really beautiful photos to book a shoot with Xifotografie.

I had a photoshoot with Yolanda in October. After some searching on Google I ended up at Xifotografie and after seeing the portfolio and reading the reviews I booked a shoot. Yolanda contacted me very quickly to discuss everything and I was sent tips and inspiration photos to map out my wishes properly. The day of the shoot was great! Upon arrival I was very warmly welcomed and started relaxed with make-up and hair, then the photos were taken. Yolanda was very patient and put me at ease. After the shoot the photos were ready very quickly and I was allowed to choose which photos I actually wanted to order. Very happy with the photos and the experience and would definitely come back again!
Esther
I just did it, the boudoir shoot. I went into it a bit uncertainly. I had a very nice telephone conversation with Yolanda about what I could expect. Also to get to know me a bit about what my motives were to do this. For me, I have been through a lot in recent years and my self-confidence has also taken a big dent because of this. But Yolanda assured me that I would have a super fun day. Hair, make-up and beautiful photos to give me a boost again. From the moment we saw each other in real life it felt trustworthy. I felt really welcome and also very at ease. After the photo shoot we looked at the photos and I had to look again. Because that was me. Now I look at myself in a different way. I am fine the way I am. A woman with a lot of baggage but I am definitely strong. So glad I did it. I will do it again in a heartbeat! Thanks Yolanda, I can't wait to see the result!

Had a mother-daughter photoshoot done with my mother. Very nice fun photos and lots of laughter during the shoot. You immediately feel welcome when you enter Yolanda, very spontaneous funny woman. Definitely recommended if you still want to have beautiful photos taken!
Carla
For my 70th birthday I got a photo session as a surprise from my husband. It was super exciting for me because to feel “fierce and feminine” in front of a camera? The ease with which Yolanda puts you at ease from the first moment and ensures that it is a really super relaxed experience, really made this session a party! Imagine yourself as a real “photo model” how nice is that, lots of laughter and what beautiful photos it has produced. Never too old to do something you normally don't think of, nice to be able to “unwrap” such a present with Yolanda. She is a super cool person and a top photographer. Carla Alers
Monique
My daughter gave me a photoshoot at Xi Fotografie for Mother's Day. I had no idea what to expect. I don't let people photograph me very often. But after this experience I don't dare say that anymore. Yolanda provided a warm welcome. It was fun and we enjoyed the morning. The photos are beautiful, professional and a special memory. Thank you Yolanda, our compliments! Monique
Assie
Pleasant photoshoot and a nice atmosphere. Yolanda took into account all our wishes. There was a lot of attention for the children, which made them feel very comfortable. They have become very beautiful family photos, we actually could not choose, would have liked to have all the photos!
Arjette
For my fiftieth birthday, together with our family, we received a photoshoot as a gift. From the first minute we felt at ease with Yolanda in her studio. She took all the time for us and had really great ideas. Very professional! Now that we have seen the result today, we are really enthusiastic! The wall-art collage that hangs on our wall is really so cool! Every time we look at it, a smile appears on our faces. In short, having a photoshoot done by Yolanda is highly recommended!
Eva
The photos that Yolanda took of me during the Fierce&Femine shoot, mean only one thing: female empowerment! Because what a power you get from just DOING: going out of your comfort zone and getting so much self-confidence in return. And of course beautiful photos 🙂
Marianne
As a gift from my boyfriend I got this photoshoot. After the first (telephone) contact it already felt familiar. We decided that it would be a sexy glamour shoot. Madelon was there on the day. She did my hair and make-up. Very beautiful and natural. The atmosphere was good right away, very relaxed and lots of laughter. Quite strange and also difficult if you never stand in front of a camera. But it turned out well. Yolanda and Madelon are fun but also real professionals. I have very beautiful photos and had a super fun morning. Definitely recommended.....
André
Together with my sons I planned a photoshoot with Yolanda. A special experience. Like no other she was able to connect with the individual - with us - and our personality. At first glance easy and off the cuff but in everything you feel that she has a wealth of experience. We experienced the shoot itself as a self-evident and natural process where you are especially invited to be yourself. The photos underline her great talent by their high quality - some even look like an oil painting - and by our emotion about the recognition of what she has managed to capture. We see ourselves and each other and especially the bond we have with each other beautifully depicted. Thank you Yolanda! André, Steven and Leon.
Antje
If you want a beautiful, lasting memory in addition to a fun experience, let Yolanda from Xifotografie take your photos. We had a photoshoot on the beach. The shoot itself, choosing the photos and the final result: all great! We are very happy with our beautiful collage and more than satisfied with the service.
Jolanda
Yolanda provides a professional shoot in every way! The setting is good, she puts everyone at ease, even my teenage sons loved doing it. And even better, the result is really fantastic, a beautiful gift for yourself. In short, highly recommended 👍
Tim
Yolanda is a passionate, professional and excellent photographer. She searches together with the client for the best poses and variety. In our case our daughter. She leaves room to think of poses yourself in order to arrive at the most natural photos possible. The quality and handling are excellent, certainly value for money. Above all, Yolanda is a sweet, energetic and cheerful person full of humor who put our daughter very much at ease. A great success, I recommend anyone who wants to have casting photos taken, among other things, to contact Xifotografie.
Laura
This is the third time I had my photos taken by Yolanda from Xifotografie. She makes you feel at ease quickly, it's like you're visiting a friend. She takes plenty of time for you and takes beautiful photos, from multiple angles and perspectives. I can definitely recommend Xifotografie!
Maringa
In a relaxed manner and with a good portion of humor Yolanda ensures that you quickly feel at ease. I had a great morning and what beautiful, artistic photos they have become! Really recommended!
Annika
What an experience, to be photographed by Xifotografie! My children were quite nervous beforehand, but Yolanda had them relaxed in no time. She listens well to them, is super sweet and patient and knows how to guide, enthuse, guide and photograph the kids in a relaxed way. What started as an exciting adventure ended with 3 big smiles. The afternoon itself was already an outing in itself. What a party. To speak in the words of my youngest son; "Mom, I really liked this, can we do this more often?" The result, the 3 portrait photos of my children, now hangs prominently in the living room. And every time they consciously look at them, I see them stand up a little straighter and get a twinkle in their eyes. "Mom, I really think mine is the prettiest, I'm actually quite proud of it too", says B., aged 9. Thank you Yolanda!
Danitsja
Yolanda makes incredibly beautiful photos, I always feel at ease which makes the results always top quality! Yolanda is also very creative so all photos are always different in a good way:) In short, for every occasion you can go to Yolanda for beautiful photos!
Michael
All of the above! Yolande is a talented photographer and can make the model feel at ease. My daughter had a fantastic shoot and she is very happy with the result. Highly recommended!
Ilse
What a fantastic experience I had. I wanted to have a boudoir shoot done. The first contact was quick, very nice and only made me more enthusiastic. Once in the studio there is all the time to be captured on camera at your best. Such an incredibly cool experience and what a great end result 🤩 Very difficult to make choices, but there is time for that too. Today I went to pick up the end result, digital and the real photos in a beautiful box. We had a nice conversation, what a beautiful person you are 😊 If you are considering a photo shoot, then you are in the right place! I say when in doubt, DO IT
Master Vanderboven
Yolanda is very nice to work with. She immediately puts you at ease, so that taking the photos does not feel uncomfortable. She is also super creative and thinks along with us about ideas for photos that we can use on our social media channels and website. Really recommended!
Martine
The photoshoot was an amazing experience! I immediately felt at ease with Yolanda!! She took her time and delivers beautiful work! Thank you! Highly recommended.
Sylvia
It's been a while, but I can really recommend Yolanda (Xifotografie) for a photoshoot. She is very warm, puts you at ease. I really loved the photos. I use them everywhere.
Jolanda
A special day...it was really a party.... Yolanda is a professional who knows what she is doing and makes you feel at ease from the first minute in her photo studio... In the end I chose 4 beautiful photos...cool, funny, beautiful, sexy...I have never seen myself like this before.. An eye-opener...that I am definitely worth it...from now on I will take much better care of myself, be much nicer to myself... And certainly also a big thank you to Lonneke, who made sure that I felt beautiful with make-up and hair... In short...a boost for my self-confidence...I would say...DO IT!
Rainish
The professionalism and attention to detail together gave me a totally unique experience where I had myself captured in a way that I could never have imagined. This also resulted in a fairly wide selection being made because each photo was unique in its own way and this appealed to me very much. A very nice and unique experience from start to finish; I am already looking forward to the next shoot when it is needed again!
Sanne
Yolanda is a super talented photographer. Besides taking beautiful pictures, she also knows how to make you feel very comfortable and bring out the best in you. I came to her for a pregnancy shoot. I didn't want the standard, in my opinion a bit frumpy pregnancy photos, but I still thought it would be nice to have photos of the (probably) last time I had a pregnant body. I felt a bit uncomfortable and insecure when I arrived, but Yolanda knew how to 'defrost' me and took control in a pleasant way. She gave me good instructions regarding poses and facial expressions and also knew how to take beautiful pictures in the spontaneous moments in between. She came up with many ideas regarding clothing, backgrounds and poses, which made the time fly by and it was really fun to be in front of the camera. The result is a beautiful, cool and feminine series of photos that make me look back with pride on my pregnancy and my strong, beautiful body at that time. My boyfriend was also impressed! Yolanda also arranged a beautiful booklet for me, so that I can still regularly look at the photos. If you want beautiful, feminine photos of yourself, without them being corny or cheesy, then you really need to go to Yolanda!
Joost
Had a great shoot for website content and portrait. Professional, but also very comfortable and relaxed. Great results. Thanks Yolanda!
Soraya
An experience never to forget! Fortunately, that chance is also very small because I have the beautiful photos to remind me. During the shoot it was super fun, the experience alone was worth it. Definitely recommended!
