Petit Fotografie

If you’re looking for a specialist in family photography in Gouda, Petit Fotografie is your local choice. I’m Sjaan, and my passion is capturing families—real moments, warm tones and images you’ll keep returning to. As a mother I understand how precious those small moments are; my style is therefore pure, light and loving. Why choose Petit Fotografie? Because I focus on family photography and everything that comes with it: spontaneous interactions between parents and children, intimate mother–child moments and timeless children’s portraits. My working method centres on a relaxed atmosphere and authenticity. No stiff poses, but fun prompts—dancing, tickling, singing or simply cuddling together—so you can be yourselves and I can capture those genuine emotions. My approach I work with a warm, natural aesthetic: soft light, calm colours and an eye for small details. It’s important to me that the session feels like a celebration; that’s where the most beautiful, honest images come from. I love using my favourite 35mm lens for intimate, atmospheric shots, but the most important instrument is you and your family. Preparation and location We’ll schedule a date together and discuss location and styling. Whether you prefer a golden-hour session at sunset in the dunes or a familiar photoshoot at home, I’m happy to help you decide. I offer a client closet with neutral clothing to create a calm, cohesive look. I’ll give styling tips beforehand so everyone feels comfortable on the day. Post-processing and delivery After the shoot I carefully select and edit the best images. You’ll receive them in a personal online gallery where you can choose your favourites. From the gallery you can also order professional prints and wall art—because photos should be seen and printed. Ready to create unforgettable family photos in Gouda and the surrounding area?
