Three years ago I documented Jeroen and Mara and their then newborn son Eli. Now, years later, Eli has a little brother Luc and Jeroen and Mara moved to a bigger place. I feel super honored when clients ask me again to photograph their family!   Curious to see how I would document you and your family?

If this blogpost feels like a perfect mix-match of several days it's because it is! Bram and Lyan invited me over into their Copenhagen appartment for a weekend to eat and drink with them and show me around in Copenhagen (where I had never been before). They truly are some of the most kind & warm people I have ever met. Of course I had to shoot lots of engagement photos while I was there. What an amazing bike friendly city (extra kudos for that!) with so much amazing vegetarian food as well! I love the places my clients take me, thank you so much guys, can't wait for your big day :).  

Yayy familyshoots in my own city Rotterdam are the next best thing! Especially when they involve icecream at the best stand in town. Thank you Zoe, Madri and little Lev for this great stroll that hardly felt like work!

What a pleasure to visit this family for the second time. You might know Laura from her blog Laura en James. James is a big brother now of little Luc and I came over for a while to document hectic, loving familylife. Thanks guys!     Curious to see how I would document you and your family?

I met Maryse during one of my workshops and I was very excited she booked me years later to document her little family. Thomas did an amazing job and was smiling pretty much the whole time :).

An evening around Henschotermeer with these two beautiful souls (or actually, three!).   Curious to see how I would document you and your loved ones? Book me via the contactform or dearhanke@gmail.com. I can’t wait!

I suck at writing blog posts because all I want is for you to see these images and remember/know how valuable it is to get your photo taken now and then (or at least once a year). I could write this with every blogpost but it might get boring :). For this familyshoot with Kirsten, Jeroen and little Neva we just took a stroll around their neighbourhood, no need for car rides and location scouting! There are pretty corners and light everywhere and you got me to keep an eye out for that, right? Enjoy!

What I love most about having my business for 4 years compared to just starting is the fact that I get to photograph the same clients multiple times now. Like Michel and Rianne who I photograph every year with their girl Elin. This time they invited me for an afternoon camping with them, whoohoo! Being able to truly capture a family growing together into life is so special. Sometimes I think about Elin being a young adult and watching these photos with a heart almost exploding, seeing herself and her parents like this. That -for me- is the core of documenting families.
