HELLO AND WELCOME!

Hi, I’m Giliane — the heart behind Giliane E Mansfeldt Photography.

Every family is unique, and every story deserves to be honored. In my studio, I celebrate love, diversity, and individuality because everyone is welcome here.

For two decades, I’ve created minimalist, heartfelt images that stand the test of time. From quiet newborn moments to joyful family connections, your story guides everything I do.

To give every client a truly personalized experience, I take on a limited number of sessions each month. You’ll have my full support from start to finish — including outfit styling with access to my curated client closet, thoughtful location suggestions, and a relaxed, guided approach during your session.

Your Family’s Story Begins Here

Every season of your life deserves to be remembered with intention.
From quiet newborn moments to the beautiful chaos of familyhood, each image is crafted to honor who you are today—so these memories can live on for the people you love tomorrow.
