As a family photography specialist, Hans of PictureHans in Zwolle captures genuine family bonds. Relaxed studio or outdoor sessions for babies, children and families.
I am Hans van Eerbeek of PictureHans Studio in Zwolle (Stadshagen / Peermos). Family photography and portraits are my passion and core expertise: I focus on these areas and aim to deliver the best for families in Zwolle and the surrounding area. My work is about capturing real moments and connections between people — not stiff posing, but calm, spontaneous family photos that reveal character and togetherness. Why choose me? As a portrait photographer I place great value on a relaxed atmosphere. I have specially set up my home studio for sessions with families, children and small groups; there is space for 3–4 adults or several children. Many clients appreciate that I take my time, give gentle direction without being directive, and put children at ease. I work both in the studio and outdoors; together we choose the best light and location so the family photos truly suit you. What makes my approach special? My style combines classic portrait techniques with an informal, people-centred approach. With a background in both analog and digital photography and through participation in workshops (including with Frank Doorhof), I have a keen eye for light, atmosphere and emotion. During the shoot I guide you step by step — from calm group arrangements to playful children’s portraits — so you can act naturally and I can capture those genuine moments. How does it work in practice? We discuss your wishes in advance: studio or outdoor, which backgrounds or props, and any special moments (for example newborn, baby photos, children’s photography for birthdays, christenings or communion). The studio includes a changing area and a large mirror. After the shoot you will receive the photos digitally via Dropbox or WeTransfer, so you can print or share them yourself. I enjoy collaborating and thinking with you about how to record your family in a warm, authentic way. Are you looking for an experienced family and portrait photographer in Zwolle who combines calm, attention and a personal approach? Please get in touch for a no-obligation conversation — I look forward to bringing your story to life in images.
