Family photography by Colette in Arnhem: relaxed, natural and focused on real moments. Ideal for families, babies and children's portraits — authentic images that tell your story.
As a specialist in family photography based in Arnhem, I capture your family as you truly are: authentic, relaxed and full of feeling. With a background in visual arts and a classical love of natural light, I work in a soft, documentary style that leaves room for spontaneity. Whether we photograph on the Posbank, in the dunes, or in the comfort of your own home, I look for places where you feel at ease and where your interactions take center stage. Why choose me? I work from one clear goal: to record your connection and joy. I love finding the small moments — an unguarded laugh, a tender touch, a playful exchange between siblings — and turning them into timeless family photos. My approach is warm and approachable: we start with a short introduction, often with a little walk, so everyone can relax. During the session I give gentle direction, but mostly I create space so the shoot stays natural and joyful. What makes my approach special? I combine a love of outdoor locations with attention to intimate, homely images. For newborn and baby photography I gladly come to your home; that brings calm and familiarity. For children’s photography and portraits I look for playful moments and movement — no stiff poses, just genuine child energy. You choose the photos you love, and I provide careful post-processing so the final result matches your style: atmospheric colors and subtle black-and-white images that enhance the emotion. I place great value on personal attention: every family is different and deserves its own story. I’m happy to advise on locations, clothing choices and the desired mood so the photoshoot fits you perfectly. Although my main focus is family photography, I can also arrange additional images such as aerial photos if that adds value to your project. Are you looking for a warm, professional family photographer in Arnhem who creates relaxed images of your family, baby or children? Please get in touch — I look forward to meeting you and helping you create memories to treasure for years to come. Warmly, Colette van Aggelen
