Specialist in family photography based in Epe. Chantal captures spontaneous, loving moments in a gentle vintage style. Warm, relaxed results for families, babies and children.
Hi, Chantal here! As a family photographer based in Epe on the Veluwe, I help families preserve memories that feel like warm, tangible moments. My photos have a light vintage look with soft, dreamy colors — a style that suits the natural, relaxed atmosphere I aim to create during a family photoshoot. Why choose Chantal Nijhof Studio? Because I practise family photography from the heart and with experience. As a mother I know how many precious, fleeting moments there are in family life: a baby’s first smile, the comforting closeness between parents and child, or a playful afternoon in the woods. My working method is calm and inviting — no stiff posing, just gentle guidance and plenty of room for spontaneity. The result is authentic family photos that truly reflect your family. My approach: I prefer an easygoing collaboration. Before the shoot we briefly discuss your wishes and any favourite locations (I love working in the nature around Epe and Heerde). On the day I create a friendly, playful atmosphere so children feel at ease. With patience and a sense of humour I encourage moments where real emotion comes through. For newborns I favour a lifestyle approach: calm images focusing on connection and simplicity. What to expect: personal attention, a warm and safe shooting environment, and post-processing that matches my signature soft colour style. It’s important to me that you recognise yourselves in the images — photos you’ll happily show your children and family for years to come. Whether you want an extended family shoot, a relaxed session with young children, or atmospheric newborn & baby photography, I bring my experience and sense of atmosphere to tell your story visually. Curious if I’m the right fit for your family? Send a message or drop by for a meet-and-greet — I look forward to capturing your family moments.
