Your Story Photo

I am not just a photographer; I am a storyteller based in Zaandam who specialises in family photography. At Your Story Photo everything is about capturing genuine, unposed moments — those small, fleeting gestures and looks that later become the most valuable memories. My style is documentary and intimate: I observe, avoid forced poses and allow space for the natural dynamics between you. Why do families from Zaandam and the surrounding area choose me? Because I work from empathy and experience. As a full‑time photographer and a mother I understand what it feels like to be in the middle of everyday life: the busy moments, the chaos, and at the same time that pure love that gives everything meaning. That combination of professional sharpness and personal recognition helps families relax quickly — something that shows in warm, authentic images. My approach is gentle and approachable. A family photoshoot with me feels more like spending time together than a formal assignment. I’m happy to come to your home or to find a lovely nearby location in or around Zaandam where you feel at ease. During the shoot I create a relaxed atmosphere, bring plenty of patience and offer light direction when needed. Those conditions allow spontaneous moments to emerge: a laugh, a hug, a shared silence — images that feel real and will be treasured for generations. Although my primary focus is family photography, I also bring experience from wedding reportage; that experience sharpens my eye for emotion and my ability to act calmly in special situations. Maternity photography is available as an additional option on request, provided in the same warm, documentary style without overshadowing my core focus on family stories. If you’re looking for a family photographer in Zaandam who captures your story with respect and warmth, I would love to meet you. Together we’ll create a series of timeless, intimate and authentic photographs that reflect how you truly are as a family.
