Specialist family photography in Drachten and nearby. Froukje creates relaxed, natural photos during a walk in the woods or at home — loving, attentive to small moments.
As a specialist in family photography, I’m Froukje, and I lovingly capture the everyday life of families. My work focuses on catching genuine moments: that warm cuddle, a cheeky smile, or the small hand holding your finger. Based in Boornbergum (near Drachten), I mainly work outdoors in nature — Beetsterzwaag, Bakkeveen and Appelscha are favourite locations — but I’m also happy to come to your home to document familiar rituals and intimate moments. Why choose me as your family photographer? Because I understand what it means to be a mother. My own family and my love for outdoor life — gardening, camping and woodland walks — shape the way I see things. That recognition helps me put you at ease quickly, even if posing isn’t your thing. My style is pure, warm and unforced: I give light direction, use playful prompts and leave plenty of room for spontaneity. The result are images that still feel authentic twenty years from now. How I work: we start with a short introduction so I know what matters to you. Before the session you’ll receive practical tips on clothing and location. During the shoot we often walk and play — that creates natural interactions and real moments. I photograph from a calm, patient place; children are free to move and be themselves. After the session I select and edit the best images in my recognizable warm style, with natural colors and subtle black-and-white frames. You’ll receive the photos in a clear online gallery, making it easy to choose and share. What I love to capture most are families in motion: walking over mossy paths, running together through the woods, cuddling by the water or a quiet moment on the sofa at home. Those small everyday things become the most valuable memories later on. I also enjoy maternity sessions and newborn shoots — I photograph those moments with the same care and tenderness. In short: if you’re looking for a family photographer in Drachten and the north of the Netherlands who combines relaxation, authenticity and a love of nature, I’d love to make your memories tangible. Feel free to get in touch — I’m happy to advise on location and atmosphere and to ensure your shoot becomes a lovely moment to look back on.
