Foto Garretsen in Aalten specializes in family photography. With 40 years' experience we create relaxed family and portrait photos in studio or on location—personal, creative and professional.
Foto Garretsen has been a trusted name for family photography in East Gelderland for decades. As specialists in family and portrait photography, we present your family in a natural, relaxed way. With over 40 years of professional experience we combine technical know-how with a calm, client-focused approach so that both children and adults feel at ease quickly. Our working method is personal and practical: we discuss your wishes beforehand — from the mood and style of the images to location choices and group arrangements. The photoshoot can take place in our spacious studio in Aalten or on location with a mobile setup; both options provide comfort and flexibility. During the session we focus on spontaneous interactions and authentic moments: laughing children, playful family dynamics, and subtle portraits that will take pride of place in your home or album. What sets us apart is the combination of craftsmanship and service. We work efficiently and thoughtfully, with attention to composition and light, guiding children playfully so their personalities can shine through. You will receive advice on clothing, composition and background options so the final images are both timeless and personal. For those who wish, we deliver digital files optimised for websites and social media. Beyond the shoot, we offer full in-house finishing services: professional prints, frames, canvas prints and luxury photo books are produced and handled in our studio so your images become tangible keepsakes. Retouching and post-processing are also available, always respecting the natural character of the photos. At Foto Garretsen you can expect a warm welcome — the coffee is ready — and clear communication about the course of your family session. Whether you need an intimate family portrait, a playful child portrait or a multi-generation reportage, we are specialised in family photography and committed to capturing your story on film. Always sharp, personal and attentive to detail in Aalten and the surrounding area.
