Esther Langenberg Fotografie - ELF Creative Stories & Photography

As a specialist in family photography, Esther Langenberg captures your family story with a gentle, narrative approach. Based in Harderwijk, she works from the philosophy: not posed but real. Her style is lifestyle-oriented — light, natural and full of feeling — producing images that show your family’s connection, small moments and authenticity. Why choose Esther? She approaches every family shoot with care and calm. Whether it’s a relaxed session outdoors, a newborn shoot at home or playful children’s portraits, Esther creates a safe, joyful atmosphere where children feel free and parents can relax. Her experience with families and newborns translates into images that remain timeless and that you’ll revisit with warmth again and again. Her working method feels personal and practical. There is always time beforehand to discuss your wishes: which location suits you, which outfits work best and what mood you want to see reflected. Esther thinks along with you and offers clothing tips and location suggestions so the images form a coherent representation of who you are. During the shoot she moves with the moment, observes and seeks spontaneous interactions — that genuine laugh, a tender touch or a cheeky glance — which often yield the most beautiful photos. After the session, Esther carefully selects the images and professionally retouches them in the recognizable ELF style: warm, pure and tasteful. You receive your photos via a private online gallery, so you can choose your favourites in peace. Want tangible keepsakes? Esther is happy to help with elegant albums and print options so memories have a permanent place in your home. Esther regularly photographs in and around Harderwijk and knows lovely outdoor spots and intimate at-home settings that suit your story. Her work centers on connection — images that resonate and stay with you. Planning a family shoot, child photography or a newborn session? Esther looks forward to making your story visible and creating memories to be cherished for generations.
