Par-pa fotografie

Par‑pa Photography (Arend Jan Hermsen) specializes in family photography and child photography, working from a personal and relaxed approach. With over 35 years of experience and a professional eye for atmosphere and connection, Par‑pa captures natural family moments: from newborn and baby photography to child portraits and family photos for the wall. In the spacious 150 m² studio in Sassenheim, Par‑pa creates a calm setting where children feel safe and parents can relax. The studio offers a variety of backdrops, extensive studio lighting and a selection of props so every shoot can be composed in a unique way. The environment is designed to make sessions effortless and enjoyable for the whole family. Prefer outdoor photography? On location in Wassenaar and the surrounding area — on the beach, in the dunes or in the park — Par‑pa works with natural light and always brings additional lighting to bring out the best in each moment. Outdoor sessions focus on movement, play and authentic interaction to produce images that feel warm and spontaneous. What sets Par‑pa apart is the combination of craftsmanship and humanity. Arend Jan uses high-quality Nikon equipment and blends technical reliability with a calm, friendly direction during the shoot. He takes his time, has patience with children and knows how to elicit big, sincere reactions with small, gentle prompts. The result is a gallery of authentic images that reflect the characteristic dynamics of your family. The process is simple and client-focused: a short introduction to discuss wishes and ideas, followed by a relaxed shoot (studio or location) and finally a carefully curated and edited set of images. Many families choose to turn their photos into wall art or give them as personal gifts for grandparents; Par‑pa is happy to advise on the best final presentation.
