Robert Mathew Photo

I am Robert van Tienen — Robert Mathew Photo — and family photography is one of the areas I deliberately focus on. Based in Tilburg, I help families preserve memories that feel real: not stiff poses, but genuine moments, small gestures and the connection between you are at the heart of my work. Why choose my family photography? Because I combine a creative eye with technical expertise. My images search for mood, color and emotion; photos that, when you look back at them, take you right back into that moment. Clients often describe my style as “authentic”, “natural” and “detail-oriented” — and that is exactly what I aim for. What makes my approach special is the human side. I create a calm, friendly atmosphere where everyone can be themselves — including children who may be easily distracted. With humor, patience and subtle guidance I let spontaneous moments arise. I don’t dominate the scene, but I remain involved: that’s how I make photos that feel natural and timeless. How do we work? We always start with an introduction, in person or via video, so I can understand your wishes and your family’s dynamics. We then agree on location, timing and style — whether at home, a favorite outdoor spot or another location in and around Tilburg. During the shoot I keep the pace relaxed; I give small directions and let much of it happen organically. After the session I carefully select and edit the best images so colors, light and emotion come through beautifully. As an all-around photographer with experience in weddings, commercial and portrait work, I bring professional background to every family shoot. That translates into reliable preparation, strong compositions and images that are both personal and professional. Would you like natural, warm family photos you’ll enjoy for years to come?
