As a family and portrait photographer in Zaanstad, Mariska captures natural family moments with a creative, relaxed approach. Personal, warm, with special care for children and newborns.
Hi — nice that you’re looking at Fotoshoot-Gezin.online with me, Mariska. My heart lies in family photography and portrait work: I’m based in Zaanstad and love capturing families, children and newborns in a way that truly suits them. With a background in graphic design I always look through a creative lens at composition, color and atmosphere — you’ll see this in calm, warm and timeless images. Why choose me? Because I take family photography seriously and make it enjoyable. My focus is on your story. I’ll actively think along, offer ideas and make sure even shy children feel at ease. My style is natural and relaxed: no stiff, posed sets, but moments that show the relationships and emotions within your family. Your story, my lens. How I work: we start with a short conversation to hear what matters to you — whether you want a relaxed family shoot, playful children’s portraits or intimate photos of a newborn. During the session I create a calm atmosphere, often with a touch of humor and a lot of patience, so you can relax and genuine interactions can arise. I guide with small directions so you feel free and comfortable in front of the camera. What to expect: carefully considered images with attention to light, composition and emotion. I deliver photographs you’ll proudly hang on the wall and share with loved ones. Because of my design experience, I’m happy to advise on the final use — whether a large print for your home, a family portrait for social media or a creative booklet as a keepsake. I am based in Zaanstad and happily work across the region, on location or in places that are meaningful to your family. Curious if we’re a match? Send your idea and we’ll explore together how to capture your moments in a warm, creative and personal way. Warmly, Maris
