Ria van der Ploeg Fotografie

Hi, I’m Ria van der Ploeg. As a dedicated family photographer based in Eindhoven and Waalre, I capture those everyday, meaningful moments: your child’s laugh, the gentle connection between parents and a newborn, or the lively dynamics of a family at a celebration. Stiff posing? Absolutely not. My approach is relaxed, friendly and focused on who you really are. Why choose me as your family photographer? I combine experience with a calm, personal approach. I prefer outdoor locations that suit your family—a park, the Meertjesven, or a characterful urban spot—but I’m also happy to come to your home for newborn and baby photography. My aim is to deliver images that feel natural and that will soon have a warm place on your walls. How do I work with families? We start with a quick phone call to discuss wishes and ideas. I offer clothing tips so colors and styles harmonize nicely. During the session I gently guide you: I lead you to beautiful spots and suggest simple interactions that create genuine moments. With children I work quickly and playfully; often they forget the camera is there and the best portraits emerge. Newborn and baby photography is handled with respect and patience, usually at your home so the baby stays in a familiar environment. For occasions like baptisms, communions or birthdays I create an atmospheric reportage that pays attention to both people and details. What do you receive? I edit the selection in my recognizable, warm style. You’ll receive high-resolution digital files and can choose a mini album or a larger photo book as a tangible keepsake. I work quickly and attentively: often you’ll see a preview within a short time. In short: choose a family photographer who works unobtrusively, enthusiastically and professionally. Photos I’ve taken now hang in many living rooms — that’s what makes my work truly rewarding. Want to know if I’m available in Eindhoven or Waalre? Send a message — meeting is without obligation and I’m happy to think along with you.
