Laura Nieuwenhuis Fotografie

As a family photography specialist in Apeldoorn, I — Laura Nieuwenhuis — document families exactly as they are: warm, pure and timeless. I focus on creating images that are not only beautiful but that also evoke feeling. That’s why I avoid forced poses and take the time to really get to know you. This relaxed atmosphere encourages natural interactions: a small hand, a look, a spontaneous laugh — moments that often turn out to be the most precious later on. My approach is personal and calm. Whether we photograph at a favourite outdoor spot on the Veluwe or in your own home, I create space for connection. Many families come back because they appreciate my attention to detail: I watch the light, composition and small gestures so each image exudes atmosphere and authenticity. During the shoot I give gentle guidance but mostly let moments unfold. That makes the photos more natural and enduring. I like to offer bespoke solutions: from sessions with toddlers and babies to larger family groups and special milestones such as christenings or birthdays. If you wish, I provide styling advice and share tips beforehand — so you know exactly what works best for the desired result. My experience with newborn and child photography is especially helpful with families of young children; I work patiently and lovingly with early routines and short attention spans. What clients repeatedly tell me is that they feel seen and relaxed during the session. After the shoot you receive a generous, carefully edited gallery with a variety of compositions and emotions. Many images end up on the wall or in a keepsake book — photographs that mark everyday life and connect generations. Do you live in or around Apeldoorn, or are you visiting the Veluwe region? I’ll gladly help choose a suitable location and schedule the session for the best light. Have a special request or question? Contact me — not a standard shoot, but a personal experience that suits your family. Choosing me means choosing calm, attention and images you truly want to keep.
