Esmee values personal alignment: a brief introduction beforehand, clear communication about your wishes and attention to the comfort needs of children. During the shoot she remains calm and unobtrusive; this creates the natural moments where genuine emotion and connection appear. After the session she carefully selects and edits the images to maintain a warm, timeless style that suits your family. Esmee’s motivation is simple: looking back at photos should bring you back to that feeling of togetherness.
