VDH Fotografie

As a specialist in family photography, VDH Photography in Putten captures the small, meaningful moments you'll treasure most. I’m Sonja van de Haar; after years of experience as a recruiter I became fascinated by people — their looks, spontaneous smiles and subtle moments of connection. That fascination shows in my warm, natural style: no forced poses, but room for real emotion. My approach is built on calm and trust. Before the session we get to know each other and discuss what matters to you: the desired mood, location and styling. Based on that we create a moodboard and I give practical clothing and styling tips so everyone feels comfortable. During the shoot I guide you step by step with clear directions, while also allowing space for spontaneous moments — those often produce the most beautiful, unposed images. I work extensively with families, new parents and children and pay special attention to newborn photography. For baby and child portraits I favour soft, intimate images that put your child’s personality front and centre. Whether you want a relaxed outdoor family session during the golden hour or a calm newborn session at home or in my comfortable setting, I provide a safe, warm atmosphere where you can naturally shine. What sets me apart is the combination of genuine interest in people and a professional workflow. As a former recruiter I understand the importance of first impressions and authentic presentation — this translates into photos that are not only beautiful but truly reflect who you are. I deliver careful post-processing so the images remain warm and timeless, and I help you choose the final photos in an easy-to-use online gallery. Whether you want a family portrait for the wall, a loving newborn series or a playful child portrait, VDH Photography in Putten is the right place. My goal is simple: to make you shine and create memories you’ll enjoy again and again. Feel free to get in touch — I’m happy to think along with you and help you prepare for a relaxed and valuable photo session.
