Family Photoshoot in Westduinpark | Lauren's Session

​I'm excited to share with you my first photoshoot in The Netherlands! This family session took place at one of the locations I was most excited to shoot at: Westduinpark. The sand dunes and beach are such a great location for photos and for kids to play. Plus, with the beach clubs, a drink and a bite are never far away. 

One of the challenges of starting over in a new city (one of many) is figuring out locations, and how to get to them. Like most things so far, I had to learn the hard way, and definitely took a bit of the long route getting there. It was quite a trek through sandy hiking paths, but eventually we found where we were trying to go and the view was breathtaking. I can't wait to go back and explore more...and look for those elusive Highland Cows I hear wander around there. 

​This family session was special for many reasons, not only was it my first shoot here, but this was a fellow queer family who immigrated this year. We discovered we had quite a bit in common and our kids played well together, which is always a win!

​What I love about family sessions is finding that balance between posed shots where everyone is looking their best, and candid shots where all the personalities and relationships come out. This session was full of both. And the ocean waves, sand, and sea shells provided plenty to capture the kids attention and pull them and the adults into the moment, to forget I was even there. 

​If you are looking to update your family photos, don't hesitate to reach out. I would be honored to help!
