Meijboom in Gouda specializes in family photography. Warm, spontaneous family photoshoots and children's portraits in studio or on location. Experienced photographer with a personal approach.
As a specialist in family photography based in Gouda, Meijboom Photography & Framing brings families together for images that feel like memories — not like poses. Patrick Meijboom and his team capture genuine moments: the small glances, real bursts of laughter and the relaxed interactions between parents and children. Because family photos often hang on the wall for years, we apply the same craftsmanship to our photography that we use in our framing and print work. Our approach is calm and people-centred. During a family photoshoot we create a pleasant, informal atmosphere where children feel free to be themselves. We combine gentle direction with a documentary style: few forced poses and more focus on connection and spontaneity. Whether you choose a short studio photoshoot in our shop-studio in Gouda city centre or a reportage on a familiar outdoor location, we make sure everyone feels comfortable and that there is room for both fun and quiet moments. What sets Meijboom apart is the combination of photographic expertise and craftsmanship in presentation. We think beyond the capture itself: image quality, colour grading and the final way your photos are printed and framed all contribute to the end result. That means you can have your favourite family photos printed straight away, mounted to measure or professionally framed — all under one roof, with attention to sustainability and detail. Working with us is personal and straightforward. Beforehand we briefly align your wishes: mood, location and any important moments (for example, children's portraits). During the shoot we give clear, friendly directions and leave plenty of space for spontaneous moments. After the session we handle the post-production so colours and skin tones remain natural and the character of your family comes through. For families in and around Gouda looking for warm, timeless family photos and children's portraits, Meijboom Photography & Framing is a considered choice. We do more than record moments — we prepare them so those images remain meaningful for years to come, on your wall and in your heart.
