Thessaengelsphotography

I am Thessa Engels, a passionate photographer based in Lelystad. With years of experience in portrait, family and maternity photography, I specialise in business portraits that feel both professional and personal. My strength is creating a relaxed atmosphere so people can be themselves — resulting in natural LinkedIn photos and corporate headshots that convey trust and character. My approach is simple and people-focused. Before the shoot we discuss the goal together: a crisp LinkedIn photo, team portraits for your website, or individual corporate portraits with either a homely or a more formal look. I advise on location, clothing and styling, and I tailor the lighting and composition to your industry and personal image. Because I’m used to putting people at ease, spontaneous, genuine moments often emerge — these usually work far better than stiffly posed photos. During the session I take my time; I work calmly and purposefully so everyone feels relaxed and confident in front of the camera. Whether we shoot on location in Lelystad or elsewhere, or you prefer a neutral background for a corporate look, I deliver clear, consistent images that are immediately usable for LinkedIn, company websites and presentation materials. After the shoot you’ll receive an ordering page where you can select your favourite images; the chosen photos are delivered digitally in high resolution, suitable for online use and printing. My photography journey began in 2018 and evolved from equine photography to portraits, families and weddings. That background taught me how to capture emotion and personality — a quality that translates perfectly to corporate portraits and professional headshots. I work in a reachable and personal way: you can email, call or WhatsApp me for preparation and advice. Delivery of selected photos is typically within three to four weeks. Choose business portraits that strengthen your professional story with a warm, natural and reliable appearance. Get in touch — together we’ll create profile photos and corporate portraits that stand out and truly reflect who you are.
