Esther specializes in family photography in Zaandam. With her daylight studio and calm approach she captures loving, natural moments — ideal for families and maternity photography.
Your most beautiful moments, lovingly captured for later. As a specialist in family photography and maternity photography, Esther works from a homely daylight studio in Zaandam and on locations across the region. Her aim is to create simple, timeless images — full of warmth and genuine connection — that let you feel again how it really was. Why choose Esther? With more than five years of professional photography experience and 28 years working in childcare, she brings calm, patience and skilled expertise. That long experience with babies and children means Esther quickly gains the trust of little ones and their parents, allowing spontaneous, relaxed moments to unfold. Combined with the soft, natural light of her daylight studio, this produces photos that are pure, understated and full of emotion. What makes her approach special is the combination of professionalism and gentleness: no forced poses, but attention to true moments of contact. For maternity photography Esther often uses beautiful wraps and dresses from her client closet so you feel at your most radiant. For family and lifestyle shoots she chooses locations and compositions that suit your story — whether that’s a quiet moment at home, a playful outdoor reportage session or an intimate studio shoot. How she works with you: Esther takes time for a personal pre-shoot conversation to hear your wishes and create a relaxed atmosphere. During the shoot she provides a warm, safe environment where children feel comfortable. She guides softly and informally so both parents and children can relax and the most natural images emerge. In addition to family and maternity photography, Esther offers newborn and baby photography as well as celebratory cake-smash shoots — always with the same loving, careful approach. Her photographs are meant to make memories tangible: simple, pure and timeless. Would you like to capture your family in Zaandam or the surrounding area? Esther looks forward to hearing your story and creating a relaxed, affectionate photoshoot you’ll cherish for years to come.
