Colors & Clouds in Steenwijk is your specialist in family photography. Warm, natural family photos — from playful children and newborns to celebrations and child portraits.
If you’re looking for a family photographer who delivers more than just pretty pictures, Colors & Clouds in Steenwijk is the right place. My name is Aleida and I create evocative, atmospheric family photographs where connection, gentleness and real moments are central. My approach is personal: I like to get to know you, advise on locations and outfits, and make sure even the most camera-shy children feel comfortable. My specialty is family photography: unposed, playful and sometimes still images that reveal your family’s true character. Whether it’s a relaxed shoot outdoors during the golden hour, a cozy family session at a location that means something to you, or an intimate studio session with a newborn or baby — I create painterly images with careful attention to light, mood and the small, touching details. How I work: we always start with contact to discuss your wishes. I often provide styling tips beforehand and advise on the best time and place — for young children that can be morning light or a calm studio setting. During the session I focus on play, touch and small rituals so genuine emotions and connection emerge naturally. I guide you with gentle directions and create moments where you can relax: that’s how pure, honest family photos are born. My experience as a photographer, combined with a background in care and a deep appreciation of motherhood, gives me an eye for subtle interactions between parent and child. Besides families I work extensively with newborns, babies and child portraits, and I love capturing milestones such as birthdays and other family gatherings. The images I deliver are meant to be displayed at home and cherished across generations. Would you like a photo session in Steenwijk or the surrounding area?
