Lanook Studio

I’m Romy from Lanook Studio — a family photographer based in Wijk bij Duurstede. My passion is capturing those small, precious moments: a tender touch, a child’s mischievous smile, or the quiet first hours with a newborn. As both photographer and videographer I work with a warm, documentary approach: honest, heartfelt and focused on mood and feeling. Why choose Lanook Studio? I don’t aim for stiff, posed images but for photographs that truly tell your story. During a family shoot I create a relaxed atmosphere where everyone can be themselves — whether that’s a busy toddler at play or grandparents who quietly wipe away a tear. My approach is friendly and approachable; many clients say it feels like being photographed by a good friend. How I work: we always begin with a personal consultation to discuss your wishes, favourite locations and the mood you want. Locations can range from your own familiar home environment to nature-rich spots around Wijk bij Duurstede. During the session I keep an eye on light, details and composition, but I’m often a ‘fly on the wall’ when that best captures the moment. For those who want it, a photo + video combination is available — so you’ll have both still memories and the sounds and movement of the day. Specialties within family photography: I photograph families in all their forms — from newborn and baby photography to children’s portraits and important family events like christenings, communions and birthdays. I remain true to my style: soft light, warm tones and emotion you’ll want to relive again and again. What to expect: personal attention, creative ideas and a relaxed session where joy and connection come first. I offer small styling tips if helpful, advise on locations and ensure the final result is unmistakably Lanook Studio: images that feel like you’re living the moment again.
