Moments by Michelle Fotografie

I’m Michelle — a family photographer from Harenkarspel with a heart for real moments. My focus is family photography: capturing the little gestures, mischievous glances and warm embraces that make you unique. My style is spontaneous, natural and with a touch of humour; no stiff poses but photos that feel exactly like the moment. What sets me apart is the way I work with families. With a background in healthcare and as a mother, I know how to create patience, calm and trust. During a session I prefer to give children playful tasks rather than forcing them to pose — that helps them warm up and allows spontaneous moments to emerge. For adults I provide reassuring guidance and a bit of humour so everyone feels at ease. That results in warm, honest images you’ll want to look at again and again. Location matters to me. Studio Moments in Enkhuizen is a cosy daylight studio where the light is soft and the atmosphere calm — ideal for intimate portraits and newborn moments. Outdoor shoots in the woods, dunes or by the water offer room for play, movement and that golden light I love. I’ll help you choose what best suits your family and the story you want to preserve. My approach is personal and relaxed: we’ll get in touch beforehand to discuss expectations and ideas, during the session I create a friendly atmosphere, and afterwards I lovingly edit the photos so they feel natural and timeless. I always work closely, with attention to detail and respect for the way you are together. If you’re looking for a true family photography specialist in Harenkarspel and the surrounding area, I’d love to make your memories tangible. Whether it’s a family walk, an intimate studio session or a multi-generation shoot with grandparents — together we’ll create photos that feel like home.
