As a Leeuwarden family photography specialist, Lisanne captures light, soft and spontaneous moments. For newborns, children’s portraits and family sessions—calm, playful and pure.
Lisanne van der Ploeg specialises in family photography based in Leeuwarden and is known for her distinctive ‘light, soft and dreamy’ style. Her aim is not just to create pretty images, but to capture memories you’ll return to with pleasure time and again. As a mother and former teacher she combines great patience with a natural gift for connecting — exactly what’s needed for shoots with children and newborns. What makes Lisanne special is her emphasis on atmosphere and authenticity. She prefers to work with natural light and seeks locations that suit your family — from open meadows to the cosy comfort of your own living room. Her calm, observational approach ensures moments remain pure and unforced: photographs in which children can be themselves and where love and small details — little hands, tiny feet, a mischievous glance — speak for themselves. During a family or newborn session Lisanne creates a safe and relaxed environment. For newborns she often comes to your home so the baby can be photographed in familiar surroundings. For children and family portraits she brings gentle props and playful ideas, while always staying true to your family’s character. Her experience as a teacher helps her quickly make a connection, put children at ease and encourage spontaneous reactions — with humour, small tricks and lots of patience. When planning a shoot Lisanne considers what suits you: an intimate family session, a playful birthday shoot or a serene newborn reportage. She is happy to advise on locations and styling (earth tones and soft colours often complement her photography) and creates images that are as suitable for sharing online as they are for displaying large on your wall. Choosing Lisanne means choosing a people-focused, attentive photographer who approaches every family with respect and warmth. From Leeuwarden she lovingly creates family photos that not only look beautiful but also feel real. Want to give a photoshoot as a gift? She also offers gift vouchers — a lasting memory for the whole family. Contact her for a personal conversation; Lisanne looks forward to meeting you over a cup of tea to discuss your wishes.
