Creating memories for families is what I feel most connected to. As a family photography specialist (Love Collection Family) I combine a strong visual style with a warm, relaxed approach so your photos truly tell your story. Why choose me? Because I don’t just take pictures — I create images that keep speaking. My work balances glamorous, high-contrast photography with intimate, authentic moments. Whether it’s a dynamic family session in the studio, a calm newborn portrait at home, or playful children’s portraits outdoors, I always seek the real connection and natural poses where a smile or a hand on a shoulder says more than words. How I work: we start with a personal conversation to discuss your wishes, aesthetic preferences and practical details. For larger or more artistic family groups I use my Painting Portrait Family technique: each person is photographed individually, and I then compose the images into a single serene, Rembrandt-like family portrait. For Love Collection Family sessions we create moodboards, choose location (my studio in Het Zakenstation, Stationsstraat 99, Heerhugowaard or a favorite outdoor spot), and plan clothing and styling. The studio is 65m² and offers a calm, private space for changing and multiple sets. During the shoot I guide you calmly and clearly: no forced poses, but gentle direction so everyone relaxes. For newborn and baby photography I work respectfully and at the child’s pace — safely, quietly and lovingly captured. After the session you select the best images together with me; I retouch them professionally so the final result is timeless and display-ready. My goal is simple: to create images you will look back on with pride. I am available in Heerhugowaard and the surrounding area for family photoshoots, children’s portraits and newborn sessions.
