If you are looking for a photographer truly specialized in family photography in 's-Gravenzande, you’ve come to the right place. I’m Iris van der Zwan and I get genuinely excited about family sessions: those moments of cuddles, a mischievous glance or a burst of laughter — these are the images I live for. My approach is personal, warm and focused on real moments, not stiff poses. Why choose ByIrisvdZwan? Because I see you as you are. My style embraces imperfection, connection and simplicity: no over-the-top styling, just calm, natural images that let emotions and relationships speak. Whether it’s children playing in the dunes, a newborn moment at home, or a family scene on the beach at 's-Gravenzande — I work with attention to small gestures and sincere interaction to create timeless family photography. How I work with families I always start by listening: who are you, what do you enjoy, and what do you want to preserve? Before the session I provide a style guide with practical tips on clothing and colours so that everything looks calm and cohesive. During the shoot I create a relaxed atmosphere — with games, jokes and gentle directions so even the shyest children feel free to be themselves. With patience (and as a mother of three, I know exactly how to handle all ages) I capture the spontaneous moments you will later look back on with pride. Newborns and babies For the tiniest family members I take extra time and care. I work respectfully with safety and comfort as a priority, capturing both intimate postpartum moments and playful baby memories. For birthdays or cake-smash sessions I’m happy to coordinate the styling with you — from a subtle balloon to a simple, timeless setup. Location and atmosphere My love for the Westland region comes through in my images: soft light, dunes and the beach at 's-Gravenzande often form the backdrop for relaxed family photos. At-home sessions are also possible if you prefer to be photographed in your own, familiar environment. Together we create images that feel like your own memories: warm, honest and full of love.
