Photography rooted in calm, connection and care

Honest, warm family photos that feel like you.

About Alena

Hi, I’m Alena Masselink, the creative mind behind Soulshoots. As a family photographer in Leiden and Leiderdorp, I capture real emotions so your memories will last forever.

I believe the most meaningful photographs are created when people feel safe and seen.

That’s why I work in a calm, home-based environment or in your own home — spaces where children can be themselves and families can slow down.

For me, photography is more than just taking pictures — it’s a way to capture real emotions, connections, and special moments so you can cherish them forever.

Whether it’s:
📸 a family shoot
🎂 a cake smash photoshoot
👶 a newborn or maternity photoshoot
👦 child portraits or personal sessions

I make sure everyone feels comfortable and that the photos feel like you.

Alena Masselink fotograaf in Leiden

I choose to work from a calm, home-based environment because I believe the most beautiful images happen when people feel safe.

Less space means more attention. Less pressure means more honesty.

Whether I photograph you in my home or yours, my focus is always the same: creating images that feel like home.

NEWBORN photoshoot

Safe and warm session for your baby.

CAKE SMASH photoshoot

Celebrate your baby’s first birthday with joyful photos.

FAMILY photoshoot

PORTRAIT photoshoot

Children – Maternity – Baby’s – Headshots

Why I work this way

I intentionally choose a smaller, familiar setting over a traditional studio.

Less space means more attention.
Less noise means more presence.

Whether I photograph you in my home or yours, my focus is always the same: creating images that feel honest, warm and real.
