FAQ
Check out the FAQ page to learn more about my approach, what to expect from your family session, and practical information regarding cancellations and reschedules.
Tell them a day in advance that we are going out to take some photos together and that it will be fun, so nothing catches them off guard.
Choose a slot when they are rested and fed rather than close to a nap, and feel free to bring something that reliably makes them laugh: a favorite toy, a song, a snack. During the photo session there is no need to ask them to sit still or smile for me. Let them play, talk, and explore, and I will follow.
My photo sessions come into their own from around one year, when little ones are expressive, curious, and busy exploring everything around them.
I do not offer newborn photoshoots. My family photography is built around movement, interaction, and outdoor settings, which suits children once they are a bit older.
With young children, 1 hour is usually plenty. Little ones often give us more than enough to work with in that time, without asking too much of their attention.
With older children, or when several generations come along, 2 or 3 hours give us room to move between surroundings at an easy pace. Share your plans with me and I will suggest what suits you.
Most maternity photoshoots take place between 28 and 36 weeks, when the pregnancy is clearly visible and moving around still feels comfortable.
There is no perfect moment, though. If you feel ready earlier, we photograph earlier. Every pregnancy is different, and yours is the one that counts.
Absolutely! Every LGBTQ+ family is welcome in front of my camera.
Your family will be photographed as the family it is, with no one arranged into a shape that does not fit. Years from now, your children will look at these portraits and recognize the family they grew up in.
Everyone who belongs in the picture! Partners and children are welcome at a maternity photoshoot, and grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins are welcome at a family photoshoot. Pets count as family too, and they are usually the ones who need the least direction.
Do let me know in advance how many of you there will be, so I can suggest a picturesque area with enough room. For a larger gathering, a group photoshoot may suit you better.

CINEMATIC FAMILY PHOTOGRAPHY IN AMSTERDAM
A Film Aesthetic Straight from the Camera
The look of your photos takes shape while we shoot, not afterwards. Drawing on over a decade of professional experience, I work with a medium format camera and cinematic settings, adjusting everything manually as the light changes. The final result is created in camera, without editing or retouching, preserving the expressions, movement, and small interactions as I photographed them.
The Character of an Artistic Lens
Part of my signature comes from the artistic lens itself: painterly softness, subtle vignetting, swirly bokeh, and, in bright light, occasional gentle glare or halo. These characteristics belong to the image rather than being added later, giving your family portraits their distinctive film character.
Photographs That Show How You Are Together
A family portrait becomes more meaningful when it shows the relationships within it. I watch for the small exchanges that reveal them: a parent crouching to listen, an older sibling checking on a younger one, a grandmother’s hand resting on a shoulder. These moments pass in seconds and cannot be recreated on command, so I stay ready for them rather than trying to orchestrate every interaction.
FAMILY PRINTS
Bring your family photos into everyday life. Order professional prints straight from your gallery: a framed portrait for the hallway, a lay-flat photobook your children can page through for years, or a calendar that keeps this chapter in view all year long.
Every family photoshoot package includes a €25 print credit to get you started. Order directly from your gallery and have your finished prints delivered free with express courier service, anywhere in the world.
YOUR FAMILY PHOTOSHOOT IN AMSTERDAM
A Picturesque Route or a Familiar Place
Some family photoshoots follow one of the picturesque routes I regularly work along; others take place in a local park or an outdoor corner of a neighborhood the family already knows. Both can work beautifully. A familiar setting can give the photographs an extra layer of personal meaning, while I still plan around light, space, and enough room for everyone to move naturally.
Working at Your Children’s Pace
Children rarely move through a photo session in a straight line. They explore, pause, return to their parents, notice something new, and move on again. I leave room for that rhythm instead of constantly interrupting it, because the interactions that happen along the way often say more about a family than a perfectly arranged pose.
Family, Maternity, and Anniversary Photoshoots
A maternity shoot, a family photoshoot with young children, and an anniversary session can each have a very different rhythm. The number of people, their ages, and the occasion all influence how much we move, how I compose the group, and how much space I leave for interaction. Tell me who is joining and what you are celebrating, and everything takes shape around your family rather than fitting into the same formula.
