Christa Stories

As a family photographer in Barneveld, Christa uses her images to tell both small and large family stories. At Christa Stories everything revolves around warm tones, spontaneous moments and a calm, reassuring atmosphere. Christa combines her background in journalism with her love of imagery — producing photo series that are not only beautiful but genuinely say something about your family and your relationships. Why choose Christa Stories? Christa specializes in family photography and children’s photography and knows exactly how to make kids, babies and parents feel at ease. A mother herself and living on the Veluwe, she knows the loveliest outdoor locations (such as Het Leesten) and has an eye for those subtle moments — a safe hand, a mischievous smile, a tender embrace. Her style is warm, romantic and pure: no forced poses, only gentle prompts and a relaxed vibe so everyone can be themselves. How does it work? After your inquiry we plan a location and date together. During the shoot Christa takes the time to get to know you; a short walk and playful prompts help children relax and let you sink into the moment. After the session Christa carefully selects and edits the best images — within two weeks you receive an online gallery to choose your favorites. Each family shoot includes thoughtfully edited high-resolution files and a little gift from Christa: a beautiful accordion album to display at home. Special moments and newborns Christa also captures the tiniest memories with at-home newborn photography: warm, safe and paced to allow for feeding and cuddling. She creates baby and child portraits with the same attention to storytelling and atmosphere, focusing on natural light, connection and comfort. Extra options Because film is one of Christa’s specialties, you can add a short story film (a cinematic 50–60 second clip) to your photoshoot to keep your memory in motion — perfect for social media and a beautiful complement to your images. In short: if you’re looking for a family photographer in Barneveld/Veluwe who will capture your story in a warm, personal and professional way, Christa Stories works with a relaxed, client-focused and passionate approach to create images that will continue to feel like memories.
