Specialist family photographer based in Hillegom. Joyce captures your family naturally and playfully - edited digital files included, plus a small 15×15 cm photo book as a keepsake.
As a specialist in family photography in Hillegom, Joyce van Galen captures families as they truly are: warm, playful and unposed. With a love for colorful, natural images, Joyce seeks out those small, precious moments — from mischievous children’s grins to tender newborn cuddles — and turns them into tangible memories. Because family sessions are about people, creating a relaxed atmosphere is always the top priority. Why choose Joyce as your family photographer? Joyce works with enthusiasm and joy: she gives small prompts and games during the shoot so children feel comfortable and spontaneous moments arise. This approach produces the authentic family photos you’ll smile at for years to come. Her style is light, colorful and playful — exactly what you’ll see in her portfolio of family shoots and children’s photography. How does a family shoot with Joyce work? Beforehand we discuss the best locations together (Joyce often shoots in the Amsterdamse Waterleidingduinen, at Keukenhof Castle, Toolenburg or other nature-rich spots nearby). Joyce advises on clothing and on the best light — early morning and late afternoon usually offer the softest light. During the shoot she keeps things varied: portraits, group shots and relaxed, candid moments. With children she uses playful games; with newborns she works calmly in your familiar environment so your little one can be photographed relaxed and comfortable. After the photo session Joyce carefully edits the best images in her recognizable style. You receive the photos through a secure online gallery (password-protected), typically within 1–3 weeks. Many packages include a small 15×15 cm photo book — a lovely keepsake you can hold right away. Joyce lives and works from the Bollenstreek and knows the most beautiful outdoor locations around Hillegom. Whether you’re looking for a spontaneous family shoot, children’s portraits or an at-home newborn session, Joyce positions herself as the specialist for family photography in the region. With warmth, patience and a good dose of fun, she ensures you see yourselves again — exactly as you are.
