I am Tamara Hoornweg. Since 2016 I have been working as a photographer in Almere Stad, specialising in family photography and children’s portraits. My work focuses on capturing natural, relaxed moments: whether it’s a family session at a beautiful outdoor location or a portrait in my home studio, I work exclusively with daylight and daylight lamps to ensure a soft, warm look. Why choose a family photoshoot with me? I believe the best photos come when everyone feels comfortable. That’s why a relaxed atmosphere is central to every session. Parents and children often tell me that visiting my studio feels cosy and informal — something you can see in the spontaneous looks and genuine smiles in the final images. My style ranges from classic portraits to edgier urban sessions, so you’ll always receive a varied series suitable both for a portfolio and for framing at home. My approach is personal and practical. Before the shoot we discuss your wishes, review clothing choices and combinations, and I can share a moodboard if desired so you know exactly which backgrounds and colours work best. Shoots are flexible: in the studio we use different background colours and outfit changes; outdoors your gallery gets more variety through changing light and settings. Because my home studio is compact, I usually ask that only one parent accompanies the shoot — this helps keep the session calm and organised. During the session I assist with posing and styling and make sure children feel at ease so their personality truly comes through. Afterwards you will receive a digital gallery with a generous selection so you can calmly choose your favourite images. I then edit those selections in my signature natural style. Whether you want a warm family series, professional children’s portraits for a portfolio, or simply treasured memories, I’d love to create a beautiful, relaxed shoot with you in Almere.
