Dailystills

As a family photography specialist in Zaanstad, Dailystills (Shannon) captures the moments that truly make your family. With a background in graphic design, Shannon combines creativity and a strong eye for composition to create warm, natural images you’ll be proud to display. Family photography is her core focus — where her greatest experience and passion lie. Why choose Dailystills for your family photoshoot? The approach centers on calm, honest moments and a personalised experience. Shannon works often in her daylight studio in Zaandam, but outdoor locations are also among her favourites. Large windows let in soft, warm light that gives an intimate, timeless look. For outdoor sessions she chooses locations with careful attention to light and atmosphere so the images stay natural and relaxed. What makes her process special? Before the shoot Shannon discusses your wishes, the location and styling; she helps with wardrobe advice and offers free use of the Client Closet. On set she uses gentle prompts — small tasks that encourage movement and real interaction — so you don’t need to pose unnaturally. A relaxed, enjoyable atmosphere is always the priority; with children and babies this creates the most beautiful, spontaneous photos. Dailystills photographs entire families as well as sessions focused on babies and young children. Newborn and baby moments are photographed with patience and sensitivity: Shannon follows the baby’s rhythm and allows time for feeding and comforting. For milestones like a first birthday she also offers playful Cake Smash shoots that showcase your little one’s personality. After the shoot Shannon provides a personalised online gallery where you can choose at your leisure. Within a short time you’ll receive edited, high-resolution images — carefully retouched with the warm, soft colour palette that defines her style. In short: if you’re in Zaanstad or the surrounding area looking for a true family specialist with an eye for emotion, light and styling, Dailystills offers an attentive photographer who makes every session a pleasant, creative and relaxed experience.
