Xammes fotografie | ontwerp

If you are looking for a true specialist in family photography in the Hoofddorp area, Xammes photography | design is the right place. I’m Sharon — photographer and designer with a passion for photographing people. My work focuses on capturing real moments rather than forced poses. I always work on location using natural light, so your images feel warm, pure and timeless. Why choose Xammes for your family photoshoot? Because I guide families with attention and calm. Children get space to be themselves and I work at their pace: first a moment to settle in, then play and exploration. Those moments of togetherness — a hug, a laugh or a quiet look — are the images I love most. My style is documentary-lifestyle: I document the interaction as it truly is, with warm tones and careful retouching. How I work: we begin with a personal conversation to discuss your wishes, preferred locations (beach, dunes, woodland or right at home) and the visual style you like. I provide practical clothing tips and ideas so everyone feels comfortable. On the day of the shoot I create a relaxed atmosphere — lots of movement, play and small prompts so you can enjoy the moment. After the session I carefully select and edit the best images; you receive them clearly presented in a secure online gallery. In addition to spontaneous family and children’s photography, I create tender newborn and baby images and capture special occasions such as baptism, first communion or birthdays. As a graphic designer I’m happy to help design photo books, collages or wall art so your photos become tangible keepsakes that deserve a place in your home. I’m based between Vijfhuizen and Haarlem but work frequently in and around Hoofddorp. My approach is personal, friendly and professional — attentive to detail and sensitive to atmosphere. Want to know what a family photoshoot with us feels like? Please get in touch; I’ll gladly tell you more and immediately share ideas for locations and styling. Together we’ll create images you’ll enjoy for years to come.
