Personal family photography in Emmen and surroundings. Zwep Fotografie creates relaxed family shoots in studio or outdoors, focusing on children and genuine moments; workshops available.
As a specialist in family photography, Zwep Fotografie (Zwaantje Groote-Huizinga) in Emmen and the surrounding area focuses on warm, natural family photos that still bring a smile years from now. With over 15 years of experience and a dedicated studio in Schoonebeek, I work from a clear conviction: a photograph is like a smile that preserves a cherished memory. That idea is present in every shoot — from spontaneous family photos to tender child portraits. What sets me apart is a calm, personal approach. I primarily work with families: reunions, family shoots and moments with children are central to my practice. In the studio I create a relaxed setting where children can be themselves; on location I look for natural places around Emmen and Schoonebeek that enhance your story. My method is small and personal: I guide, gently adjust, and leave plenty of room for play and interaction — that’s how the most authentic family photos emerge. In addition to family photography I also offer child and newborn photography and baby shoots when desired. I handle these sessions with extra calm and care so that both parents and little ones feel comfortable. My experience with different ages helps me quickly connect with children and put them at ease, resulting in spontaneous, recognisable images. Workshops form the second pillar of my offerings. In my studio and out in nature I organise small-scale courses and workshops (for example, macro photography or portrait techniques) so participants receive personal guidance. I give practical instruction, attention to technique and room to experiment — always in a friendly, low-threshold atmosphere. I love working with families who value warmth, simplicity and real moments. The process is clear: a short introductory conversation, choosing a studio setup or location together, and on the day itself a relaxed shoot in which I guide you. The result is photographs that are not only beautiful but also preserve the true feeling of your family. Are you looking for a committed family photographer in Emmen and the surrounding area?
