Dries Smeets Fotografie

Welcome to Dries Smeets Fotografie — your specialist in family photography based in Gennep. As an experienced family photographer I capture the small and significant moments with a calm, natural approach. Together with my wife I work with care and patience to create family photographs that truly reflect who you are: from maternity portraits and baby shoots to warm, relaxed family sessions. Why choose Dries Smeets Fotografie? My background as a biology teacher and in cultural and artistic education has trained me to observe keenly and listen closely. I apply those skills to every assignment: I take the time to hear your wishes and create images that feel personal and familiar. My style is unobtrusive — I give space to natural interactions, little details and spontaneous glances; those moments are what make a family photograph meaningful. How do I work with families? Before the session I listen to your ideas and expectations so the shoot experiences flows in a relaxed way. Sessions can take place in my studio in Gennep or at your home — for baby and lifestyle shoots I’m happy to come to you. I ensure a warm, calm atmosphere. For baby shoots I heat the studio extra and bring practical items such as a changing pad, bottle warmer and other essentials to keep your little one safe and comfortable. What can you expect from the photos? I focus on timeless, natural images that emphasize emotion and connection. Whether it’s maternity captures, newborn moments or a playful family session with children, I deliver clear, warm colors and subtle editing so the true atmosphere remains intact. Service area and approach: I am located in Gennep and active across North Limburg, Land van Cuijk and the Rijk van Nijmegen, with experience throughout the Netherlands and the German border region. I work in a personal and engaged way: you won’t get a standard package, but tailored photography that suits your family situation. In addition to family and maternity photography I occasionally accept portrait and wedding assignments, though my primary focus and expertise is documenting families and the beginning of life. Contact me for an introduction — I’m happy to discuss how we can capture your story in a warm, authentic way.
