Door de lens van Sam is the specialist in family photography in Alkmaar. I capture relaxed family moments — from playing children to intimate baby and newborn portraits — with warm tones and attention to light.
As a specialist in family photography in and around Alkmaar, I tell the story of your family as it truly is. My name is Sammy (Door de lens van Sam) and with a background in styling, media and image editing I help families feel relaxed and shine in front of the camera. My work is characterized by warm tones, rich shadow depth and a subtle raw edge — images that feel timeless and evoke immediate emotion. Why choose Door de lens van Sam? Because I don’t just take photos, I create lasting memories. I guide you from start to finish: from clothing tips and a complimentary loan from the client closet to choosing the best light and locations. Whether you prefer a shoot at home, in the dunes, on the beach or in my studio in Heerhugowaard — I create a relaxed atmosphere where spontaneous moments naturally arise. For families with young children I work playfully and calmly; simple games and focused attention allow children to be themselves, so real interactions and laugh-filled moments are captured. My approach is personal and empathetic. I listen to your wishes, advise on styling and location, and make space for genuine connections. This makes my family photography ideal for families who want authentic, unstaged photos — images that will hang proudly on the wall or be kept in an album for years to come. I treat newborn and baby photography with the same care: safety, calm and soft compositions are central so those first weeks are recorded with tenderness and respect. Combining experience as a photographer with a background in styling and video enables me to carefully style and edit every image. Post-processing enhances the warm, intimate atmosphere without compromising the natural look of the photos. I work efficiently and with an eye for detail, so you receive not only beautiful images but also a pleasant, relaxed photoshoot experience. Are you looking for a family photography specialist near Alkmaar who creates timeless, warm and honest family photos? Let’s capture your story together — beautiful for now and for later. Warm regards, Sam
