Hartefotografie

I’m Lisa, the photographer behind Hartefotografie — a specialist in family photography based in Heerhugowaard. My work focuses on one thing: capturing love, connection and emotion in images you’ll want to return to again and again. As a family shoot specialist I aim for real moments and a calm, warm style; no forced poses, but a relaxed atmosphere where your family can simply be themselves. What sets my approach apart is the blend of light, warm styling with a documentary feel. Whether we photograph outdoors at golden hour on one of my favourite local spots (such as Hargen aan Zee, Egmond aan Zee or the Groeter Zandgat) or in a bright studio, my focus stays the same: capturing genuine connections between you. If you’d like, my client closet contains soft dresses and neutral tones so the styling feels cohesive and serene in every frame. The session itself is relaxed and personal. Beforehand we discuss location, outfits and the mood — you’re welcome to share a moodboard. On the day I take time with your family; I offer clear but subtle direction, create playful moments with the children and notice the little details that tell your family’s story. I love to work with natural light and muted colours so emotion and connection remain central in each image. Alongside family photography I also capture maternity and newborn moments, and I’m happy to help you combine these milestone sessions. My approach is consistent across all shoots: personal contact, attention to styling and a calm, loving atmosphere that helps everyone feel at ease. After the shoot I carefully edit the selected images in my signature soft, timeless style. You’ll receive high-resolution digital files and can choose optional print products — albums, framed prints and wall art designed to make those moments last. Whether you want photographs that are beautiful in the moment or images you’ll keep coming back to, we’ll create visuals that show the warmth and character of your family — timeless, gentle and full of feeling. Get in touch and we’ll plan a relaxed family shoot in Heerhugowaard or at one of the beautiful outdoor locations nearby.
