Simone Pool Fotografie

As a specialist in family photography based in Hillegom, Simone Pool Photography captures the warmth, connection and playfulness within your family. Simone consciously focuses on genuine moments, real interaction and images you’ll be proud to hang on your wall. Her style is light, cheerful and honest — aimed at reflecting the unique character of every family member. What sets Simone apart is her "playful heart" method. Through games, songs and small prompts she creates a safe, playful atmosphere where children feel free to be themselves. This approach produces natural children's portraits and tender family shots without forced poses. Simone works in a down-to-earth way and with a lot of patience: she understands family dynamics (as a mother of two) and knows how to bring out the best even in curious or stubborn kids. Her working method is friendly and personal. There’s always clear, brief communication beforehand so you know what to expect. On location — for example the familiar surroundings of Elsbroekerpark or another favourite spot in Hillegom — Simone looks with you for calm, natural settings that suit your family. During the session she keeps a comfortable pace, reads children's signals and makes sure everyone is enjoying the experience. After the shoot you receive a well-organised online gallery where you can easily choose your favourite images. Although family photography is her core service, Simone also has experience with children's portraits and works carefully and respectfully with young babies and expectant parents when requested. Her priority remains capturing families in their everyday togetherness and joy. Choosing Simone Pool Photography means choosing a warm, professional approach with attention to privacy and authentic emotion. As a local family photographer in Hillegom she combines creativity with calm and experience so your memories are preserved in a relaxed, natural way.
