Corina Smith Fotografie

As a photographer in Hoorn, I take the greatest pleasure in capturing families. My approach to family photography is warm, personal and focused on real moments: no stiff poses, but relaxed images that show who you are. With my background as a primary school teacher I work with a lot of patience and calm — which is especially helpful for shoots with children. They quickly feel at ease and that naturally results in spontaneous, loving photos you'll happily hang on the wall. I work both in my cosy home studio and at beautiful outdoor locations in and around Hoorn. In the studio you can choose from different backdrops and props to create exactly the atmosphere that suits your family. Outdoors we look together for places that are meaningful or simply offer lovely light and space for playful interaction. Often I start with a short introductory conversation or a moodboard: that way I know which style appeals to you and can tailor the shoot accordingly. During a family shoot I focus on a relaxed atmosphere; I guide you step by step and give simple directions so everyone feels confident. For young children I take my time, play a few quick “first-meeting” games and make sure the whole process feels like a small celebration — just as I like to call it: a little party! Safety and comfort are always a priority; this is especially important during sessions with the very youngest family members. My goal is to create images that show your story and connection — pure, warm and timeless. Whether it’s an intimate family portrait in the studio, a playful outdoor session with the kids or portraits that reveal each family member’s personality: I’m happy to help preserve those memories in a lasting way.
