\"Family<\/figure>

These photo spots in Haarlem all come from my own sessions, eight of them between July and November. They lie in two areas: the Spaarne with the old center, and the Haarlemmerhout, a park on the south side of the city. Each area holds a whole session on its own.<\/p>

The guide is for couples and families who want to see a place before they choose it. For every spot, you can see when I photographed there, what the light did and how far it is to the next one. Still deciding on a session? Then start with how I work as a photographer in Haarlem<\/a>.<\/p>

Photo Spots Along the Spaarne<\/h2>

The Spaarne runs right through Haarlem, and windmill De Adriaan<\/a> stands tall on its bank. Four of my sessions began on the quays across the water from it. Three of them were in July, and one was in September.<\/p>

1. Across the Water From De Adriaan<\/h3>

July, 12:14\u201312:16 and 14:07\u201314:10 | The whole windmill in one frame | A leafy tree beside it<\/p>

From this quay, the whole windmill fits in one frame, with old houses along the far bank. A big tree leans over the water on the right, so its leaves frame the mill. In early July, a couple walked toward me here under a white, cloudy sky. Eleven days later, a family with a small dog started at the same spot, while the sun broke through now and then.<\/p>

2. The Pointed Gables and the Old Boats<\/h3>

July, 15:13\u201315:27 and 14:19\u201314:38 | September, 16:17\u201316:50 | Planters, geraniums, room to run<\/p>

\"Parents<\/figure>

A few minutes along the quay, a row of new houses with tall pointed gables lines the far bank. On this side stand low concrete planters, towers of red geraniums and old boats, among them the black fishing boat YE 97. With De Adriaan in view, those planters make an easy place to sit together.<\/p><\/div>

With children, there is plenty to do here. In July, two sisters raced each other along the red bricks, and a family of five sat on a planter with their dog. In September, a one-year-old set off toward YE 97 on her own. Later, she walked from her mother to her father, with the windmill behind her.<\/p>

3. Two Railings Facing the Windmill<\/h3>

July, 12:44\u201312:52 | September, 16:52\u201317:08 | De Adriaan across the water<\/p>

Two railings along the water keep the windmill in view. The first is white and curves toward a low bridge. In July, a couple sat on it for a kiss under a pale sky.<\/p>

\"Woman<\/figure>

The second runs along a wide stone promenade with tall towers of red geraniums. In September, a baby walked there between her parents, as told in first steps in Haarlem<\/a>.<\/p>

\"Mother<\/figure>

From experience<\/p>

This side of the river is open, so the sky sets the mood on the quays. The July couple had a white, even sky. Six days later, the sun was bright and the shadows lay long on the bricks. In September, white clouds and patches of blue took turns. I work with whatever the day brings, and each day gave the same windmill a different look.<\/p><\/div>

The Old Center Around the Grote Markt<\/h2>

From the river, the old center is a short walk. In August, a couple started on a bridge with green iron railings over the Spaarne, with ornate gables along the far bank. Eight minutes after the last frame on the bridge, we were on the Grote Markt.<\/p>

\"Couple

4. The Grote Markt and the Vleeshal<\/h3>

August, 14:39\u201314:42 | Red brick, white stone, tall gables | Life on the square behind you<\/p>

\"Woman<\/figure>

The Grote Markt<\/a> is the heart of the city. Right on the square stands the Vleeshal, with tall, decorated gables in red brick and white stone. That afternoon, red flags and white tents filled the square behind us, and a dalmatian strolled through one frame. Around the corner, an old shop sign about valuations gave us a quieter backdrop.<\/p><\/div>

5. The Vijfhoek and Its Green Lanes<\/h3>

August, 14:51\u201315:10 | Narrow lanes full of plants | A bench under a tall tree<\/p>

A few minutes from the Grote Markt lies the Vijfhoek, a little square where five streets meet. Around it run narrow lanes lined with plants, benches and bicycles. In one of them, a church tower closes the view at the far end. The sky stayed white for most of the walk, but by three the sun found its way between the houses.<\/p>

\"Couple<\/figure>
\"Couple<\/figure>

We ended on the square itself, on a bench under its tall tree, at ten past three. Their afternoon, from the bridge to this bench, is in their first summer in Haarlem<\/a>.<\/p><\/div>

6. Toward the Nieuwe Gracht<\/h3>

July, 15:38\u201316:05 | The Grote Kerk at the end of a street | A canal bridge, leafy side streets<\/p>

On a July walk, a family came from the windmill quay into a quiet street. At its far end rose the tower of the Grote Kerk. Two minutes later, we stood on a bridge over the Nieuwe Gracht, a broad canal lined with trees, boats and tall houses.<\/p>

\"Parents<\/figure>

Close by are quieter streets with red-and-white facades, old lanterns and bicycles against the walls. That afternoon was bright, so the sun drew sharp shadows on the bricks, while the leaves kept the side streets soft and green. The walk ended at a brick house with pink hydrangeas and a wooden bench, at five past four.<\/p><\/div>

7. A Quiet Canal Street<\/h3>

November, 14:23\u201314:35 | Gabled houses, small boats | An orange-red wall with black doors<\/p>

In mid-November, a family with a toddler in yellow rain boots began on a quiet canal, a few minutes from the Spaarne. Gabled houses and small boats line the water there. The trees were bare and the sky was white, so the colors of the bricks, the doors and the boots stood out.<\/p>

\"Father<\/figure>
\"Father<\/figure>

Around the corner stands an orange-red house with black double doors and herringbone bricks in front. Against that wall, even a small girl in yellow boots fills the frame.<\/p><\/div>

8. The Teylers Museum and the Gravestenenbrug<\/h3>

November, 14:38\u201314:54 | The Spaarne quay | A white drawbridge with its name on the railing<\/p>

On the Spaarne quay stands the Teylers Museum<\/a>, the oldest museum in the Netherlands, with statues high on its roof. Five minutes on, the white Gravestenenbrug crosses the river, with a tall stepped gable behind it.<\/p>

\"White

The bridge carries its own name on the railing, so the place shows in the frame. Then the three of them crossed the bridge toward me. Their whole afternoon is in Haarlem in November<\/a>.<\/p>

\"Family<\/figure>

9. Teylers Hofje<\/h3>

November, 15:02\u201315:05 | A garden courtyard with a bench | Eight minutes from the bridge<\/p>

\"Family<\/figure>

Haarlem has many hofjes<\/a>, old almshouses built around a quiet garden. Eight minutes after the bridge, we sat down on a green bench in Teylers Hofje. Above its roofs rises the white tower of the Bakenesserkerk. People live in these houses, so a hofje is a short, quiet stop rather than the place for a whole session.<\/p><\/div>

The Haarlemmerhout, a Park of Old Trees<\/h2>

For a session among trees, there is the Haarlemmerhout<\/a> on the south side of the city, the oldest public park in the Netherlands. It is also the greenest of the photo spots in Haarlem in this guide. I photographed two families there, in July and on the first of November.<\/p>

10. The Gravel Path by the Fence<\/h3>

July, 12:22\u201312:38 | November, 15:14\u201315:22 | Benches, a dark wooden fence, tall trees<\/p>

A gravel path runs along a dark wooden fence, with green benches under tall trees. In July, the leaves made deep shade with small patches of sun. A baby rode on his father\u2019s arm there, while his mother reached up to him.<\/p>

\"Father<\/figure>
\"Mother<\/figure>

On the first of November, the paths lay under fallen leaves, and the trees had turned yellow and copper. Two boys leaned into their mother for a hug, with the dark trunks as a calm backdrop for their ochre and navy.<\/p><\/div>

11. The Big Lawn and the Boulder on Wheels<\/h3>

July, 12:48\u201313:07 | November, 15:38\u201316:05 | Old trees around open grass<\/p>

Where the trees open up, a big lawn lies under huge old trees. In July, a family spread a picnic blanket in the shade of one of them. Right beside it stands a giant boulder on a wooden cart, in the Kleine Hout, the eastern part of the park. The picnic, grandparents included, is in a family picnic in Haarlem<\/a>.<\/p>

\"Family

From experience<\/p>

The same park looked completely different in the two seasons. In July, the leaves kept most of the lawn in deep green shade, with sun in patches. In early November, low sun came in between the trunks and drew long shadows across the leaves. Toward four, it shone straight through the trees.<\/p><\/div>

How a Session at These Photo Spots Works<\/h2>

Each of these photo spots in Haarlem belongs to one of the two areas, and a one-hour session stays within one area. The center is compact, though. In under an hour, one family walked from the windmill quay to the Grote Kerk. From there, they crossed the Nieuwe Gracht and ended by a house with pink hydrangeas.<\/p>

\"Family<\/figure>

I suggest the area and map out the route, based on the light, the atmosphere and the surroundings. Before the day, I share outfit suggestions, and during the session I guide you with simple direction. Weekdays are usually quieter than weekends, although the streets of Haarlem are always public.<\/p>

Light rain is usually not a problem. If I confirm that the weather makes a session impractical, you can reschedule without extra cost. Afterward, your gallery is ready to download within seven days.<\/p>
