Elise Rachelle in 's-Gravenzande: a specialist in family photography. I turn your family photoshoot into a relaxed outing with spontaneous, loving images to cherish.
I’m Elise — a storyteller, an introverted dreamer and a doer. Based in 's‑Gravenzande and working across the Westland, I photograph families in a way that feels natural and relaxed. My passion is family photography: capturing genuine connections, small gestures and those unguarded moments when you’re simply yourselves. My style is spontaneous and nature-oriented. On location—often near the beach or in green surroundings—I create a playful atmosphere where children can move and play freely and parents don’t have to worry about perfect poses. Every photoshoot is a little outing: I offer gentle direction, use simple prompts to encourage interaction, and leave space for unexpected, pure moments to happen. That’s how images are born that stand out later for their authenticity and emotion. Why choose me? Because I work with attention to detail and a calm presence. I listen to your story before the shoot, tailor the location and timing to your family, and ensure the session runs at a pace that suits you. My aim is for you to enjoy the experience — no forced poses, but loving, familiar chaos. The photos should still evoke the same warmth in five, ten or twenty years. Although family photography is my core specialty, I occasionally offer maternity photography and run workshops and mentoring for fellow photographers. These additional services complement my main focus but never replace it: capturing families is what I believe in most and what I’m most often asked to do. Are you in or near 's‑Gravenzande and looking for a photographer who will capture your family in an authentic, warm and thoughtful way? Get in touch — I’d love to talk about locations, mood, and how we can turn your family photoshoot into a memory you’ll want to keep forever.
