Passionate family photographer based in Hoofddorp. Sophie captures your family, children and newborns in a warm, relaxed style—spontaneous, intimate and full of emotion.
I’m Sophie, a passionate family photographer from the Hoofddorp area. What drives me is simple: capturing real moments between people who love each other. As a specialist in family photography, I focus on creating images that feel timeless — no forced poses, just warm, spontaneous photos that reflect your connection and character. My approach is relaxed and people-centered. Thanks to my background and my love for working with families, I quickly know how to put children at ease and how to guide parents without disrupting the natural flow of moments. Whether we head to the dunes or the woods, or stay at your home for an intimate newborn or family session, I create a safe, playful atmosphere where everyone can be themselves. What sets me apart is my eye for subtle emotions and small details: a hand on a cheek, a mischievous glance from your child, the calm rhythm of a newborn. These moments may seem small, but they tell your family’s story twenty years from now just as powerfully as the big events. Working with me often feels like a pleasant afternoon with a good friend: informal, cheerful and attentive. Before the shoot we take the time to get to know each other and discuss what matters most to you — so the session feels familiar rather than awkward. During the shoot I use gentle prompts and playful exercises to bring out spontaneity; the result is natural family photos that reflect your everyday life. I work frequently in and around Hoofddorp and enjoy incorporating recognizable local spots into the visual story. Besides family sessions I also love photographing pregnancies, newborns and children’s parties — always with the same warm and honest style. My aim is to create memories you’ll proudly share and return to again and again. Would you like a family session that truly feels like you? Send me a message and tell me who you are — I look forward to learning your story and preserving it with images that keep the love and everyday joy alive.
