Specialist in family photography based in Amstelveen. Martine captures your everyday life, maternity and newborn moments with a calm, documentary approach — natural, relaxed and full of emotion.
As a specialist in family photography in Amstelveen, Martine van der Linden tells the story of your family in a natural, timeless way. Her work is focused on storytelling: images that not only let you look, but make you feel. Whether it’s a family session, a maternity shoot, newborn or children’s photography — Martine captures the small, intimate moments that later become the most precious. Her approach is calm and unobtrusive. Martine gives as little direction as possible and creates a setting where everyone feels safe and can be themselves. She works with an eye for detail, honest, natural light and a documentary style that records both big and small events — from a playful child’s portrait to the tender first days with a newborn. For special occasions such as baptisms, communions or birthdays she applies the same focus on authenticity: no forced poses, just genuine connection. What sets Martine apart is her empathy and experience as a mother: she understands how vulnerable and valuable these phases are. That is why she ensures a warm, relaxed atmosphere where even the most camera-shy children can unwind. She guides gently and offers a helping hand when needed, so the images arise naturally and you can later recognise yourselves in those honest, human moments. Before a shoot, Martine likes to make contact — either through a short conversation or a questionnaire — so she can learn your story and prepare accordingly. She provides practical tips for preparation and helps think through location, clothing and mood. During the session, connection is central: togetherness, small rituals and everyday details form the heart of her photography. The result is personal, timeless family photographs that reflect who you are, now and in the future. Martine does more than capture a moment; she documents a chapter of your life with respect, gentleness and an eye for everyday beauty.
