WHY HIRE A FAMILY PHOTOGRAPHER?

We often remember to capture the big milestones in life, like engagements or weddings, but the little moments are just as precious. Whether you’re visiting The Hague or Amsterdam on holiday, or you already call the city home, a family photo session is a wonderful way to preserve memories and have fun together.

I love photographing families because the little ones bring so much energy, spontaneity, and creativity to the session. These sessions are all about real moments — the laughter, the cuddles, the silly faces — rather than stiff poses. My goal is to document your family as you truly are, enjoying your time together and creating images you’ll treasure forever.

WHAT'S MY STYLE?

Maybe this is your first time looking for a family photographer in The Hague or Amsterdam, or maybe you have already explored other websites or had sessions before. Every photographer is different, and a photographer’s style goes beyond their portfolio, it is also about the experience itself.

So what does that mean? When you look at my photos, you will notice interaction, movement, close-ups, little details, and genuine emotion. I do capture a few classic posed family shots, perfect for holiday cards or keepsakes, but I love getting everyone moving and laughing. I use fun prompts to encourage jumping, running, and playful moments so the whole family can relax and enjoy the session.

The very best images happen when kids are giggling and carefree with their parents. That is when the real magic shows up in the photos.

OUTDOOR FAMILY SESSION

The Netherlands is a beautiful country, and I love capturing family photo sessions outdoors, no matter where you are, weather permitting of course. We can choose popular locations like the dunes, the beach, or the forest, or we can head to your local park where the kids can play on their favourite swings.

For outdoor family sessions in The Hague or Amsterdam, I make sure to capture a good mix of sweeping panoramic shots as well as intimate close-ups, so you get a full story of your time together.
