Paula van der Post Fotografie

Photography is my passion and family photography is at the heart of what I do. When you choose Paula van der Post Photography in Heerhugowaard, you choose someone who captures families in a calm, personal way — exactly as you are. My work focuses on spontaneous moments, small gestures and the real family connections that tell far more than perfectly posed images ever could. What sets me apart is my approach: warm, relaxed and attentive to everyday joy. In my small home studio or at a favorite outdoor location (beach, dunes or park in the Heerhugowaard/Alkmaar area) I create a comfortable atmosphere where children can be themselves and parents can relax and enjoy. I give gentle direction, encourage interaction and capture the moments when you genuinely laugh, play or comfort one another. The result is natural family photos and children's portraits you'll be proud to hang on your wall. New parents are very welcome: I create newborn and baby photos that preserve the tenderness of those first weeks. If you contact me during pregnancy, I’m happy to advise on timing and location so we can create images that reflect the calm and care surrounding your new beginning. My style is honest and timeless: I work with subtle editing and a careful eye for light and composition so the photos radiate warmth and emotion without unnecessary frills. Whether it’s a couples session, a family shoot including grandparents or playful children's portraits, I take the time to see your story and translate it into images. Together we make it a pleasant experience: we discuss location and ideas in advance, I create a relaxed atmosphere during the shoot, and afterwards you select the images that speak to you. As a local photographer in Heerhugowaard, I love helping nearby families preserve memories — with attention, patience and a genuine love for the craft. Feel free to get in touch to discuss your wishes; I’m happy to help and think along with you.
