Thamar Esveld Fotografie

If you are looking for a photographer who truly understands how to portray a family, Thamar Esveld is the right choice. Based in Alphen aan den Rijn, Thamar specialises in family photography and works with families across the Netherlands. Her images are defined by timeless compositions and clear, natural colours with a subtle warm, romantic tone — a style that speaks across generations. Why choose Thamar? Her background in primary education gives her a unique advantage: she quickly builds trust and connection with children of all ages. That experience makes shoots relaxed and playful; children enjoy the small, fun tasks she gives, and parents naturally feel at ease. The result is spontaneous, honest images that show real personalities and the love between family members — not forced poses, but moments where you are yourselves. Thamar’s working method focuses on personal connection. Before the session she takes time to listen: who you are, which locations feel familiar, and which moments you want to look back on later. During the shoot she creates a warm, safe atmosphere where interaction and play are central. With a harmonious mix of fine art and a documentary approach, she looks for those small touches, genuine glances and spontaneous smiles that give a family story its emotional weight. As a Christian photographer, Thamar values respectful collaboration, reliability and images you are proud to share with family and friends. Her mission is clear: to create photos that still mean as much in twenty years as they do today. Many clients describe the experience as cosy and relaxed — a moment of togetherness that is turned into lasting memories. Whether it’s an intimate family session, portraits of children or a newborn photo series, Thamar specialises in capturing family love in a natural way.
