Paula Hesselink Fotografie

Paula Hesselink is a specialist in family photography based in Julianadorp, serving families across the Kop of North Holland. Her work is guided by a single simple promise: "Your moment, my lens." That means creating images that feel honest, pure and recognisable — not polished perfection, but confident portraits that show you as you truly are. Paula’s approach is personal and calm. During the shoot she builds a relaxed atmosphere so parents and children can let go of the camera and show natural interactions. She often walks with you outdoors, reading the light and the surroundings on the spot and using those elements to craft natural, timeless images. This combination of environmental awareness and attention to small, vulnerable moments produces photos you will want to look at again and again. What sets Paula apart is her conviction that everyone is beautiful as they are. She rejects narrow beauty ideals and instead seeks the unique expressions and dynamics within your family. Whether it’s a playful moment on the beach, a warm glance between parents, or an unguarded giggle from a child — Paula aims for that striking image that reveals your bond. The collaboration feels natural and involved. Before the session Paula is happy to advise on locations and the mood you want to achieve; during the shoot she leads gently, without forcing poses. After the session she gives careful attention to post-processing: light, contrast and cropping are lovingly refined so the images retain the right atmosphere. Paula shares work that matches her style and uses examples to arrive together at the best final result. Choosing Paula Hesselink Photography means choosing a family photographer from Julianadorp who values authenticity, light and relationships. Are you ready to capture memories that feel like you? Paula looks forward to photographing your family in a warm, honest way.
