Henrieke van Assen Fotografie

As a specialist in family photography in Zwolle, Henrieke van Assen records the small and large moments that define a family with a calm hand and a sensitive eye for atmosphere. Her work is pure and natural: she shoots only with natural light, without flash, and uses her Leica to capture subtle color gradations and clear contrasts. The result is warm, timeless family photos that feel like family heirlooms. Why choose Henrieke? She brings years of experience photographing people and a pedagogical background that helps put children and parents at ease quickly. Whether it’s a newborn session at home, a spontaneous outdoor family shoot or an atmospheric children's portrait, Henrieke remains unobtrusive and creates a relaxed mood. That makes it possible to capture genuine emotions and natural interactions — no forced poses, but images in which personality and connection speak. Her approach is both loving and thoughtful. Before the session she discusses what matters to you: favourite locations in Zwolle and the surrounding area, moments you want to preserve (such as a christening, communion or birthday) and which family members should be included. During the shoot she gently directs, gives simple guidance and leaves plenty of room for play and spontaneity. After the reportage she carefully selects and edits the images so every photograph retains the right mood and atmosphere. Henrieke also understands the value of tangible memories. She collaborates with Graphistudio to create handmade albums that turn the photo series into an elegant book to be treasured for generations. The combination of crafted presentation and her photographic vision ensures the images are not just pretty pictures, but stories that strengthen family bonds. In addition to family and children's photography, Henrieke has extensive experience in newborn and baby photography — preferably at your home so the familiar light and surroundings remain visible in the images. If you want your family photographed by someone who values calm and authenticity, Henrieke van Assen is the choice in Zwolle and the surrounding area for family photography that is pure, warm and unforgettable.
