Specialist in family photography from Leiderdorp. Renate creates relaxed family photoshoots and natural child & newborn photos, focusing on small moments and warm memories.
I’m Renate — a family photographer based in Leiderdorp, specialised in family photography. As both a mother and a photographer, I know how precious the small, everyday moments are: a spontaneous hug, laughter with bare feet in the sand, or that quiet exchange between parent and child. My mission is to capture these loving moments so you can relive them for years to come. Why choose a family shoot with me? My work is defined by a warm, natural style and a relaxed atmosphere. I avoid forced poses and instead offer gentle guidance and space for spontaneity, producing authentic, emotional images that show your family as you truly are. Whether we head to the dunes at Katwijk, walk along the beach in Noordwijk, or shoot at your home in Leiderdorp, I look for locations and light that suit your family and tell your story. How I work: I always begin with a personal chat. Together we discuss your wishes, locations and clothing so everything is set before the shoot and you can approach the session with confidence. On the day I create a calm, friendly environment where children quickly feel at ease. I also offer day-in-the-life shoots for families who prefer to preserve daily routines and small rituals. After the shoot I carefully select and edit the best images in my signature warm style so each photo reflects the emotion and atmosphere you felt that day. I specialise in family photography with a strong focus on child photography and newborn photography — soft, loving and authentic. My experience as a mother helps me stay calm around babies and young children, and I always take the time needed to get the best result. In addition to shoots, I occasionally run workshops (including lifestyle newborn sessions), sharing my approach and tips with fellow photographers — but my heart is in creating family photos you will cherish.
