Stan Smits Fotografie

As a family photographer based in Veenendaal, I focus on one thing: capturing real family moments you’ll look back on with a smile. My approach is relaxed and personal; I observe the interactions within your family and work playfully so children feel free to be themselves and adults feel comfortable. The result is spontaneous images full of warmth and character — not stiffly posed shots, but timeless memories. What sets me apart is a combination of people skills and a keen photographic eye. From a young age I’ve been fascinated by preserving moments, and that fascination shows in my attention to small details: a child’s disarming glance, a quiet moment between parents, or a tender touch. I shoot both in my daylight studio in Veenendaal and on location in nature or at your home — sometimes I bring the studio with me so we can combine the best of both worlds. During a photoshoot I guide you in a calm, clear way. I give simple directions and create a light, playful atmosphere where interaction and fun come first. For babies and young children I choose short, patient sessions and use my experience to make them feel at ease. For families I look for locations and compositions that match your story: a favorite outdoor spot, a cozy home setting, or a classic studio portrait. My background in nature photography has taught me a lot about light, composition and finding the perfect spot — knowledge I use to make every family session atmospheric and cohesive. I also share my experiences on the podcast “Photography Through My Eyes,” where I talk about the craft and the entrepreneurship behind the camera. In short: choose me as your family photographer in Veenendaal when you want authentic, loving and creative family photos. I work carefully and personally, with attention to your individual story, so the final images are not only beautiful but truly yours. Feel free to get in touch — I’m happy to discuss the best approach for your family and help you plan a memorable photoshoot.
