Fotografie by Chris

As a family photographer in Katwijk aan Zee, Fotografie by Chris focuses on one thing: capturing real memories. With more than fifteen years of passion for imagery, I translate the everyday joy of families into relaxed, spontaneous photos you’ll want to look at again and again. Why choose Fotografie by Chris? Because I work from calm and attention. My approach is informal and honest: no stiff poses, but small adventures — playing in the woods, walking along the beach, or cuddling on the sofa at home. Those interactive, emotional moments are exactly what I love to freeze. My style is warm, pure and narrative; I look for light, connection and the subtle glances that truly show a family. I am a mother myself, so I know how precious time and moments are. That gives me an eye for detail — tiny hands, a tender touch, the spontaneous laugh of a child. For expectant couples I offer gentle maternity photography at locations where you feel comfortable. For newborns I prefer to come to your home to capture the safe, familiar atmosphere: those first moments together, the delicate details and the new closeness. How do we work together? After you get in touch we’ll discuss a suitable location and style. I always send practical tips beforehand: clothing advice, location ideas and what helps for a shoot with small children. During the session I guide you step by step; I give a few gentle directions but leave plenty of room for spontaneity and play. That creates relaxed images that feel authentic. After the shoot I carefully edit each image with attention and care. You’ll receive a preview within a short time; the full gallery is delivered digitally so you can take your time choosing. Your selected favourites are supplied in high resolution — ready to cherish and share. May I join you on an adventure? Whether it’s a family, maternity, newborn or children’s photoshoot in Katwijk aan Zee and the surrounding area: at Fotografie by Chris warmth, attention and authenticity are central. Together we’ll create images that last a lifetime.
