As a family photography specialist, katjagrafie (Katja Gerritzen) captures the small and big moments you’ll want to look back on with a smile. Based in Staphorst, I work with a calm, personal approach: passion, patience and care form the foundation of every shoot. My style is warm, atmospheric and contrast-rich — images that truly suit your family and that you can be proud to display. Why choose katjagrafie? Because family photography is my core speciality. I help families relax in front of the camera and bring out natural togetherness: no stiff poses, but spontaneous interaction, small playful prompts that lead to genuine smiles and precious moments. Whether it’s a family shoot, children's portraits, newborn photography, or photos for baptisms, communions or birthdays — I make sure each image tells your story. How I work: I always start with a good preparation. We discuss your wishes, the desired mood and a location — and because I live in Staphorst and know the surroundings well, I have favourite spots that match different stories. During the shoot I keep the atmosphere relaxed: often we take a walk, I give playful direction and I allow space for children to be themselves. With patience and friendly guidance I create a safe setting where the most natural moments arise. After the shoot I devote careful attention to selection and post-processing. I edit images in a warm, contrast-rich style so colours and emotions really stand out. As a photo‑videographer I can also capture moving images that enhance the atmosphere of your day — a lovely complement to the photos when desired. The result is authentic family photography you can use as wall art, on social media or in a personal photo album. My goal is simple: to make you happy with images that bring a big smile every time you look back. Would you like a relaxed family or children's photo session near Staphorst?
