Naturalcharms Photography stands for pure, relaxed family photography based in Drachten. Marike works with care and attention: she listens first, finds out what truly matters to your family and translates that into images that become warm memories. As a specialist in family photography she captures more than posed portraits — above all she focuses on the small, spontaneous moments: a gentle touch, a giggle, the look between parent and child — moments that tell a story. Working with Marike means working with someone who radiates calm and connects from genuine interest. She builds trust with children through patience, gentle humour and a playful approach; with newborns she follows a soft, respectful rhythm, ensuring that both parents and baby feel safe. Whether in the photo studio in Drachten or at a favourite outdoor location, the atmosphere remains relaxed and warm. This produces natural, timeless images that bring comfort and joy for years to come. The approach is personal and flexible: from maternity and newborn sessions to children’s portraits, baptisms, communion photos and birthday reportage — everything is tailored to your wishes. Marike adopts a documentary style; she observes, assists when needed and intervenes for subtle, meaningful compositions. As a result, the photos are not only beautiful but also genuinely feel like your own memory frames. Naturalcharms believes in clear communication and an easygoing atmosphere during the shoot. For families with limited time or for those who want to capture lively family gatherings, Marike seeks the balance between guidance and freedom so that both shy and energetic children can show their best selves. In short: families in Drachten and the Northern Netherlands looking for a reliable, devoted family photography specialist will find Naturalcharms Photography a perfect choice. With attention to emotion, detail and natural interaction, Marike creates imagery that will be cherished across generations.
