By Monica Stout fotografie

As a family photography specialist from Sliedrecht, I, Monica Stout, create images that truly feel authentic. My work focuses on capturing children, babies and families in their natural flow — no stiff poses, just pure, spontaneous moments that tell your story. Since becoming a mother myself, I photograph with an extra eye for those small, precious details that mean so much later on. My style is warm, relaxed and personal. During a family photoshoot I create a calm atmosphere: we play, walk and cuddle while I observe and capture. This can be outdoors in nature, at your favourite city spot or cosy at home in a lifestyle shoot. Because I work gently and unobtrusively, natural family photos emerge that put emotions and connection at the centre. What sets me apart is my focus on real moments with attention to humour and togetherness. I give subtle directions and small playful prompts during the shoot so even shy children feel at ease. The result is loving children’s portraits, intimate baby photos and warm family images that bring memories back to life. I believe in collaboration: before the shoot we agree on location and mood, during the session I provide calm and fun, and afterwards you can choose your favourite images from the online gallery at your leisure. My approach is personal and attentive — I want you to feel seen and heard, and for the photos to reflect your uniqueness. Whether you’re looking for a playful family photoshoot, children’s photography or photos of your newborn within a family setting, I’ll help you capture those moments. Work with me if you value warmth, authenticity and a relaxed experience in and around Sliedrecht. Together we’ll create timeless family photos that let you relive that special feeling again and again.
