Fotostudio Gouda

As a specialist in family photography in Gouda, Fotostudio Gouda, led by Patrick Meijboom, captures families with a calm, creative approach. We believe the best family photos arise from relaxed encounters — not forced poses. With years of experience and a sharp eye for lighting and composition, Patrick looks for the small interactions and natural moments that truly define your family. Our approach is personal and approachable. Before the session we discuss the mood and your wishes: would you prefer an intimate studio portrait series in Gouda’s historic centre, or a lively, urban family photoshoot on location? In the studio we use a medium-format camera for optimal sharpness and colour rendition, producing images with depth and nuance. During the shoot Patrick fosters an easygoing atmosphere — many directions are subtle and focused on contact and play between family members so the result remains spontaneous and authentic. What sets us apart is the combination of technical precision and artistic commitment. Patrick works deliberately with light and composition to capture that magic in black-and-white or colour; each image is an encounter between photographer and subject. Whether it’s children’s portraits or a full family reportage, attention to emotion and aesthetics is always central. Fotostudio Gouda is located in the historic centre of Gouda and offers flexible scheduling so shoots can also take place during evening hours. Clients appreciate the professional, friendly guidance and the ability to put even camera-shy children at ease. After the session we guide you through selection and retouching, so you receive imagery you’ll proudly hang on your wall or share with family. Choosing Fotostudio Gouda means choosing a local family photographer who combines craftsmanship with a warm, personal approach.
