Anouk Rocks fotografie

As a family photographer based in Emmen, my passion is capturing genuine, relaxed moments between people who love each other. My approach is simple: no forced poses, but room for play, cuddles and small prompts that invite spontaneous reactions. That’s how photos are created that truly take you back to that feeling of connection — exactly the kind of images I love to see in my own family photos. I work with a calm, friendly manner that helps even the youngest children relax quickly. With years of experience photographing families and young children, I can sense when a break is needed, when a cuddle will help, and when it’s best for me to stay unobtrusive to capture pure moments. My style leans toward warm, earthy tones; I aim for timeless images with a soft, natural atmosphere. During a family shoot I first listen to your story: what matters to you, which locations are meaningful and which moments you want to preserve forever. Many families choose an outdoor location during the golden hour, but a shoot can be just as valuable in the comfort of your own home — especially with little ones or newborns. I’m happy to offer styling advice and you can make use of my client closet to bring calm and cohesion to your outfits. Newborn and baby photography requires extra patience and adaptability. We follow your little one’s rhythm: a feed, a clean nappy or a quiet cuddle is never a problem. This creates intimate images of the early moments that pass by so quickly. My goal is for you to leave not only with beautiful photos, but also having had a relaxed experience. I guide you personally from preparation through to post-processing — always attentive to your wishes and the small details that make a photo special. As a local photographer in Emmen, I’m proud of the warm connection many families experience with me; that bond shows in the images. Would you like a warm, relaxed and child-friendly family shoot that captures you just as you are? I look forward to meeting you and creating memories together that will last a lifetime.
