We did a couple's boudoir shoot. It was truly a fantastic experience. It started in the morning with makeup, and it was immediately a pleasant atmosphere. We chose to keep our individual photos a surprise for each other, so we did separate shoots followed by a joint one. Although we found it quite nerve-wracking, the atmosphere was immediately warm and open. Yolanda and Tess are genuinely interested and clearly have a passion for their craft. We are incredibly happy and proud of the final result. The photos are beautiful, and every detail has been thought of. The products are pricey, but for us, it was clear: we had to have that beautiful photo book. It is a lasting keepsake, and our relationship has been captured just as we know ourselves. Thank you so much; we recommend it to everyone. Jelle & Emma

‘"You're looking so cute here." With encouragement like this, Yolanda from Xifotografie knows how to get you so excited that it results in the most beautiful photos. Yolanda inspires confidence, which lowers the barrier to truly expressing yourself. She takes the time to capture you in the best possible light, which in itself feels like a compliment. Add to that the warm, friendly welcome, the professional makeup, and seeing the photos on a large screen—all of that makes a boudoir shoot with Xifotografie a truly special experience. I thought it was a fantastic adventure, resulting in beautiful photos of myself! Thank you, Yolanda and team!

✨ A dream come true… For a few years, I had wanted to have boudoir photos taken of myself. When I saw Yolanda’s work on her website, I knew immediately: this is perfect for me. The photos are stylish, chic, and sensual — exactly how I wanted them, without even a hint of trashiness. The day of the shoot was an amazing experience. Everything was taken care of down to the smallest detail, with plenty of attention to my wishes. Yolanda, Tess, and Naomi made me feel completely at ease, allowing me to truly enjoy myself. We had lovely conversations, and beautiful photos were created. It was a day I will look back on with great pleasure and warmth. Thank you so much for this unforgettable experience! 💖 Love, Ania

It had been a wish of mine for a while to do a beautiful, feminine shoot. It was important that I felt at ease and that nothing would lean towards vulgarity. After much searching, I kept coming back to Xifotografie's photos! After much deliberation—because how often do you spend so much on yourself?—I went for it anyway, and what an incredible experience it was. Yolanda and the team immediately felt like 'we go way back,' and I felt seen and heard. The attention to detail and styling, as the final product is presented... Would recommend 10/10.

I did a branding shoot for my new website with Yolanda. It was such a blast! Yolanda brings out the best in you. Together with Tess, she makes sure you feel super at ease and that everything just flows naturally. Great instructions on how to stand, sit, or look. The best poses for the most beautiful photos! The communication was also very pleasant and smooth; based on my mood board, Yolanda picked up very quickly on what I wanted. She had sourced all kinds of props that matched my brand and image. She was also super creative with the various backgrounds and settings. In short: if you are looking for a photographer who understands you perfectly and proactively thinks along with you, Xifotografie is the place to be. Thanks again Yolanda & Tess❤️!

What an incredibly beautiful experience this was! We entered a bit nervously, because, well... what exactly do you expect at a couple's boudoir shoot like this? Within seconds, that nervousness vanished. What a relaxed atmosphere. During the shoot itself, Yolanda demonstrates everything, gives you tips on posture, corrects you, and yet still makes you feel sexy and confident! What an artist. I fell in love with the photos instantly. Seeing yourself and your partner in a whole new light, wow wow wow!!!! Thank you so much for this experience, which will always stay with us and remains fresh in our memory thanks to the beautiful photo book!! Best regards, Wayne and Selina

In 2022, I experienced my first boudoir shoot at XI Photography. I was so happy with it for two years. Eventually, a beautiful piece of wall art from that shoot hangs in my living room. Now I got to participate in a campaign shoot. Another shoot just like that! I was over the moon. And just like two years ago, I am incredibly happy about it. Yolanda and her team make you feel so safe. There is laughter. They discuss what you do and, especially, what you don't want. What do you feel comfortable with? After all, you are standing there in front of the camera and you have no idea what it will look like. Time flies by! And actually, that is such a shame. I could go on for hours. It is just 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 really have no words for what you experience. When you see yourself captured so beautifully and wonderfully on camera. It really changes your view of yourself! As a woman, you can be truly proud of who you are and how you look. You, as a woman, deserve to be seen! And you can show that by hanging something so beautiful of yourself in your home. It is simply art, only you are the main character. Who wouldn't want that?! It is truly addictive. Yolanda also offers various options for keeping a lasting memory, such as boxes or wall art. She thinks along with you. All in all, another wonderful experience. One that I am still enjoying now, after three weeks. Thanks XI Photography. I can live off this experience for another few 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 welcome in the studio by Yolanda and Tess was warm and cozy. A professional makeup artist was ready to make me look absolutely beautiful in terms of makeup and hair styling. They listened to how I apply my own makeup, so that I would truly appear as myself in the photos. What a treat. Then, off we went, straight upstairs to the studio. While I had expected to struggle with posing or overthink things, Yolanda was able to explain exactly what was expected. As a result, it felt incredibly relaxed. Looking at the results of the photos is unreal, so beautiful! It is incredible that you can be photographed in such a beautiful way, without much editing. Bizarre! Thanks 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.

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!

I received a mother/daughter photoshoot as a gift from my sweet daughter. She had been in contact with Yolanda beforehand, who got a good impression of our bond through her many questions. We were warmly welcomed by Yolanda and Madelon, and it immediately felt so familiar, which took away all the nerves about standing in front of the camera. After the super beautiful makeup by Madelon, it was time for the shoot. It went so relaxed and easy. Yolanda is professional, gives good directions, and comes up with fun ideas for the photos. Plenty of time was taken for nice combinations and outfits. It was super fun to do and also very enjoyable. The result was so overwhelmingly beautiful; our bond was captured so incredibly beautifully that tears welled up in my daughter's and my eyes! It was a day never to be forgotten, with beautiful photos.

I had been looking for a boudoir photoshoot for a while, and after a long search, I came across Xifotografie (Yolanda). I received a call and it immediately felt familiar. When she told me the price of the shoot, I admitted I had to swallow hard, but she is professional. And let's be honest, you can go and look, but 80% of photoshoots are pricey, and if it isn't pricey, the quality of the photos is lower. I speak from my own opinion, and maybe that isn't the case for everyone, but Yolanda is truly professional, and you can see that in the equipment she has and the quality of the photos. She has a passion for her craft, and she has one goal: to show everyone who comes to her that they are perfect! On the day of the shoot, I was received with a warm welcome and immediately felt at ease. The make-up artist and hair stylist have experience, but they also know what they are doing. She does everything according to your wishes and your opinion. The quality of the hair and makeup is perfect; no mascara from Action, but real quality makeup and hair products. During the shoot, Yolanda gives you very clear instructions on what to do and puts you at ease; as long as you relax, everything will be fine. Tess, Yolanda's assistant, is also super sweet and helps Yolanda tremendously with the shoot, and without Tess, there would be no fantastic video of the day; the whole team is fantastic. So if you are hesitating, I would say DO IT! You have already found the company! You get a fantastic shoot + a fantastic day + amazing 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 and show that you are worth it! Because indeed, you hold art in your hands after your shoot! Art of your own making, how cool! So (my motto) go for it! Because you only live once, so schedule that shoot soon! And believe me, you definitely won't regret it! Yolanda, you are an amazing woman and I am still savoring the memories of the day; it was truly an experience and awesome to be able to do this!!

I recently did my 3rd shoot with Yolanda. This was my 2nd boudoir shoot. After a period of not feeling my best, my partner asked me what had given me back my self-confidence in the past. That was a shoot with Yolanda! So, not long after, on his recommendation, I did another boudoir shoot with Yolanda. Upon entering Yolanda and Madelon's studio, the "tension" you feel beforehand disappeared immediately. You are put at ease and made even more beautiful by Madelon, exactly the way you want it. And once again, I am incredibly proud of the results created together. At Yolanda's studio, you feel comfortable, safe, and completely at ease. And even more so afterwards! 🩷

I had my photoshoot yesterday, what an amazing experience. The lead-up to the photoshoot was also very pleasant; my questions and insecurities were answered and cleared up. The shoot itself was amazing; what a top photographer and how wonderfully she puts you at ease 😊 Viewing the final result in the mini-cinema, impressed with myself 😊 What beautiful photos, as expected, I couldn't hold back the tears 😉 Very curious to see my wall art. Thanks for this boost in my self-confidence 💋

A beautiful, special, and enriching experience. That is how I experienced the boudoir shoot with Yolanda. I found it incredibly nerve-wracking, but Yolanda has a natural gift for quickly putting you at ease. I was warmly welcomed, along with plenty of humor and depth. Madelon did a fantastic job with my makeup and hair, and Tess did her best for the short video of the photoshoot. I recommend every woman who is hesitant about a boudoir shoot to just go for it! You won't regret it later. The more often I look at the photos, the more I see the beautiful aspects of myself and start to look at myself differently. That is nerve-wracking too, but so worth it!

It was a bit of a drive, but I had a super fun day at the studio. Yolanda puts you completely at ease, and the makeup was top-notch too. I didn't know that was possible with my hair. The result of the photos was also amazing, and I knew immediately which one my boyfriend would choose for the wall. All in all, a great success.

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 part of a shoot with you; the ease and pleasure of shooting photos with you was amazing. Thank you for this wonderful experience. It felt like a party. And the result is fantastic. You get a solid 5 stars from me. Big hug, Richard

It’s already been over half a year, but I’m still proud every day that I did this. What I was insecure about at the beginning turned around very quickly. “I can’t say anything other than WOW! I was insecure about posing in lingerie and not being a size S, but how quickly that day actually turned into a feeling of femininity! I still have this feeling! It really is a boost to your self-confidence! When you see the pictures, you can only think: is that me?! And WOW! So incredibly beautiful! I can really recommend it to every woman!” Madelon transforms you into the best version of yourself, and Tess, well, you can definitely count on her; what sweethearts they all are. Xxx Lisa

Had a super fun photoshoot with Yolanda👍 Yolanda is very professional and really puts you at ease. The photos just stood out. Exactly what I expected and even better. So highly recommended👍👍👍

Dec 15, 2023. "This my day" is written in my agenda as a subtitle for boidoir. I approached Yolanda for a shoot with a neutral attitude, was warmly welcomed, and it felt like a warm bath. Madelon had also arrived, and while chatting delightfully, I feel more and more at home and was transformed into a beautiful and self-assured full-figured woman (which I already was 😄😍). Yolanda can really let loose with me around; I hadn't expected to do this, but I did, and now I feel more pride welling up inside me. When I look back at the shoot, wow, I AM ALLOWED TO BE HERE... super beautiful body. Ladies with a fuller figure, please don't feel guilty about how you look; you are beautiful, in your curves and full of cheerfulness, and so am I. Every person is unique, regardless of how they look; 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!

A boudoir shoot is a gift to yourself. It might sound scary, a shoot in lingerie like that, but Yolanda puts you at ease. She also gives tips on how best to pose, spots opportunities and beautiful shots without being pushy or crossing your boundaries. With a photographer like that, the shoot can't go wrong. Afterwards, you go through the best photos (I didn't know it was possible to take 42 of my best photos in just one morning) and choose the best ones. These are then post-processed by Yolanda. I get to pick up my photos in 3 weeks and can hardly wait. If you are wondering whether you and your body are suitable for something like this, I say: Just do it! You won't regret it.

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.

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!

I had a super fun shoot. I had great contact with Yolanda beforehand regarding my wishes for the shoot. On the day of the shoot, I was warmly welcomed with something to drink and some treats. We briefly discussed what kind of photos/outfits we were going to use while Madelon did my hair and makeup. Madelon did a really beautiful, natural makeup job so that I still recognized myself well, but with just that little extra something 🙂 Furthermore, both Yolanda and Madelon were very fun and open, which meant we started the shoot feeling wonderfully relaxed. We also laughed a lot during the shoot, resulting in amazing photos! I would definitely recommend Xifotografie to anyone who wants truly beautiful photos.

I had a photoshoot with Yolanda in October. After 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 received tips and inspirational photos to help me clearly outline my wishes. The day of the shoot was fantastic! I was welcomed very warmly upon arrival, and we started in a relaxed manner with makeup and hair, followed by taking the photos. 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. I am very happy with the photos and the experience and would definitely come back again!

I just went for it, the boudoir shoot. I went into it feeling a bit insecure. I had a very pleasant phone conversation with Yolanda about what to expect, also to get to know me a little better and understand my reasons for doing this. For me, I’ve been through a lot in recent years, and my self-confidence has taken a significant hit because of it. But Yolanda assured me that I was in for a super fun day. Hair, makeup, and beautiful photos to give me a boost. From the moment we saw each other in person, it felt familiar. I felt truly welcome and very much at ease. We looked at the photos after the shoot, and I just had to take another look. Because that was me. Now I look at myself differently. I am fine the way I am. A woman with a lot of baggage, but I am certainly strong. So glad I did it. I would do it again in a heartbeat! Thank you, 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!

I received a surprise photo session from my husband for my 70th birthday. It felt incredibly nerve-wracking to me, because feeling “fierce and feminine” in front of a camera? The ease with which Yolanda puts you at ease from the very first moment and ensures it is a truly relaxed experience turned this session into a real party! Imagining yourself as a real “model” for a moment—how fun is that? We laughed a lot, and it resulted in such beautiful photos. You are never too old to do something you wouldn't normally think of; it was lovely to be able to “unwrap” such a gift with Yolanda. She is a super cool person and a top photographer. Carla Alers

I received a photoshoot at Xi Fotografie as a Mother's Day gift from my daughter. I had no idea what to expect. I don't usually let myself be photographed. But after this experience, I wouldn't dare say that anymore. Yolanda ensured a warm welcome. It was lovely, and we enjoyed the morning. The photos are beautiful, professional, and a special memory. Thank you, Yolanda, our compliments! Monique

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!

For my fiftieth birthday, I received a photoshoot as a gift with our family. From the very first minute, we felt at ease with Yolanda in her studio. She took all the time for us and had incredibly fun ideas. Very professional! Now that we have seen the result today, we are incredibly enthusiastic! The wall art collage hanging 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!

The photos Yolanda took of me during the Fierce&Femine shoot mean only one thing: female empowerment! Because what power you get just from DOING it: pushing yourself beyond your comfort zone and gaining so much self-confidence in return. And of course, beautiful photos 🙂

I received this photoshoot as a gift from my boyfriend. After the initial (telephone) contact, it already felt familiar. We decided it would be a sexy glamour shoot. Madelon was there on the day as well. She did my hair and makeup. Very beautiful and natural. The atmosphere was great right from the start, very relaxed, and we laughed a lot. Quite strange and also difficult when you never stand in front of a camera. But it all worked out. Yolanda and Madelon are fun but also true professionals. I have very beautiful photos and a super fun morning. Definitely recommended...

Together with my sons, I planned a photoshoot with Yolanda. A special experience. Like no one else, she proved capable of connecting with the individual—with us, that is—and our personalities. At first glance, it seems effortless and spontaneous, but in everything, you feel that she possesses a wealth of experience. We experienced the shoot itself as a self-evident and natural process where you are primarily invited to be yourself. The photos underscore her great talent through their high quality—some even look like oil paintings—and through our emotion at recognizing what she managed to capture. We see ourselves, each other, and especially the bond we share beautifully depicted. Thank you, Yolanda! André, Steven, and Leon.

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 amazing! We are very happy with our beautiful collage and more than satisfied with the service.

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 👍

Yolanda is a driven, professional, and excellent photographer. She works with the client to find the best poses and variety—in our case, our daughter. She leaves room for the client to come up with their own poses in order to achieve photos that are as natural as possible. The quality and execution are outstanding; certainly value for money. Above all, Yolanda is a sweet, energetic, and cheerful person full of humor, which put our daughter very much at ease. A great success; I recommend Xifotografie to anyone looking to have casting photos taken, among other things.

This is the third time I've had my photos taken by Yolanda at Xifotografie. You quickly feel at ease with her; it's like visiting a friend. She takes plenty of time for you and takes beautiful photos from multiple angles and perspectives. I can definitely recommend Xifotografie!

In a relaxed manner and with a good dose of humor, Yolanda makes you feel at ease quickly. I had a wonderful morning, and what beautiful, artistic photos they turned out to be! Highly recommended!

What an experience to be photographed by Xifotografie! My children found it quite nerve-wracking 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, and supervise the kids in a relaxed way, while photographing them all at the same time. What started as an exciting adventure ended with three big smiles. The afternoon itself was an outing in itself. What a party. To quote my youngest son: “Mom, I really enjoyed this, can we do this more often?” The result—the three portrait photos of my children—now hangs prominently in the living room. And every time they look at them consciously, I see them stand up a little straighter and get a twinkle in their eyes. “Mom, I really think mine is the best one, I’m actually quite proud of it too,” says 9-year-old B. Thank you, Yolanda!

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!

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!

What a fantastic experience I had. I wanted to have a boudoir shoot done. The initial contact was quick, very pleasant, and only made me more enthusiastic. Once in the studio, there is plenty of time to be captured at your most beautiful. Such an incredibly cool experience and what an amazing end result 🤩 It was very difficult to make choices, but there is time for that too. Today I went to pick up the final result, digitally and the actual photos in a beautiful box. We had a nice chat; what a wonderful person you are 😊 If you are considering a photoshoot, you have come to the right place! I say: if in doubt, DO IT!

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!

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.

It's been a while, but I can highly recommend Yolanda (Xifotografie) for a photoshoot. She is very warm and puts you at ease. I thought the photos were absolutely amazing. I use them everywhere.

A special day...it was truly a party.... Yolanda is a professional who knows what she's doing and makes you feel at ease in her photo studio from the very first minute... In the end, I chose 4 beautiful photos...cool, funny, beautiful, sexy...I've 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 kinder to myself... And certainly a big thank you to Lonneke, who made sure I felt beautiful with her makeup and hair... In short...a boost to my self-confidence...I would say...GO FOR IT!

The professionalism and eye for detail combined to provide me with a totally unique experience, allowing me to be captured in a way I could never have imagined. This also resulted in a fairly broad selection being made, as every photo was unique in its own way, which really appealed to me. A wonderful and unique experience from start to finish; I am already looking forward to the next shoot when it is needed again!

Yolanda is a super talented photographer. Besides taking beautiful photos, she also knows how to put you completely at ease and bring out the best in you. I went to her for a maternity shoot. I didn't want the standard, in my opinion a bit frumpy, maternity photos, but I still thought it would be nice to have photos of the (probably) last time I had a pregnant body. I felt quite uncomfortable and insecure when I arrived, but Yolanda managed to 'loosen me up' and took charge in a pleasant way. She gave me good instructions regarding poses and facial expressions and managed to capture beautiful shots precisely during the spontaneous moments in between. She came up with many ideas regarding clothing, backgrounds, and poses, which made the time fly by and made it genuinely fun to be in front of the camera. The result is a beautiful, strong, and feminine series of photos that make me look back with pride on my pregnancy and my strong, beautiful body during that time. My boyfriend was impressed too! Yolanda also arranged a beautiful booklet for me, so I can still look through the photos regularly. If you want beautiful, feminine photos of yourself that aren't cliché or frumpy, then Yolanda is definitely the person to go to!

Had a great shoot for website content and portrait. Professional, but also very comfortable and relaxed. Great results. Thanks Yolanda!

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!
