Family photography from Oegstgeest by Nicole — natural, spontaneous and joyful. From newborn and children's portraits to lively family sessions: relaxed shoots that capture authentic moments.
As a full-time outdoor photographer based in Oegstgeest, Nicole Bunschoten specializes in family photography. Her work grew out of a long-standing love for portrait photography: once a hobby, now a profession in which she most enjoys capturing real, unforced moments. Her approach is simple and clear: no fuss, just the way you are. I capture the moment — you just enjoy. Why choose Nicole? She works in a calm, inviting manner that helps even the most camera-shy family members relax. With gentle encouragement, lighthearted jokes and playful prompts she creates a safe atmosphere where children can be themselves and parents can let go. That results in natural family photos: no stiff poses, but attention to connection, movement and the small emotional moments that define a family. Nicole often photographs outdoors — on the beach, in the woods or at a favourite local spot — because natural light and open space encourage spontaneous interaction. She guides families beforehand with practical tips on locations and outfits so everyone feels comfortable and the images have a calm, cohesive look. During the shoot she gives clear directions but also leaves room for unexpected moments; it’s precisely those moments that make the photos unique. Family photography with Nicole is suited to families with young children, babies and toddlers. Her portfolio shows recurring themes: playfulness, connection and genuine emotion. Whether it’s a newborn family wanting to preserve memories or a busy household seeking fresh, relaxed images — Nicole finds those small, valuable moments. Although her focus is on family and portrait work, Nicole also collaborates with entrepreneurs on branding and portrait photography. For Fotoshoot-Gezin.online one thing is central: capturing your family in natural, recognisable images. Her approach is personal, warm and purposeful — always respecting your pace and wishes.
