My approach

Because the best memories aren’t posed.

Baby showers, birthdays, christenings, the whole family together for once. The days you plan for weeks and then barely remember, because you were busy hosting.

 

I’ll be there quietly, photographing the hugs, the laughs, the grandparents, the cake moment and all the small details in between. No stiff group poses unless you want them. You get to enjoy your day, and keep it.

“Having Pau photograph my baby shower was the best idea! She met the brief I asked of her – some posed group photos, but mostly just casual photos of the guests. I also received my photos really fast after the event and love every single photo. I would definitely hire her again!”

What families say

“Paula is a very nice person and made me feel very comfortable during the photo session. I had no previous experience and we worked super fast, it was simple and fun. The result was what I expected.”

“Excellent!! Pau put us all at ease from the first moment. Very relaxed and intimate family photo session in the parks of Amsterdam. The post production was quick, organized and thoughtful. Gracias Pau!”

FAQ

Questions, answered

Do you pose people?

Mostly no. I photograph what happens naturally. If you’d like a family group photo or one with the grandparents, just tell me and we’ll take a few.

What if my event runs longer?

Choose the package that fits the time you expect. If you’re not sure, the Full Story gives you room to relax.

Can you photograph at home?

Yes. Many of my favourite events happen in living rooms and gardens. I also photograph in venues, cafes and parks around Haarlem.

Do you speak Dutch?

I work in English and Spanish. Your guests can speak any language: photography works without words.

What if the date of my event changes?

Let me know at least 14 days before and your deposit is refunded or moved to a new date. With less notice, the deposit can still be used for another date within 3 months.

How soon will we receive our photos?

You’ll get 10 sneak peeks within 48 hours, so you can share them while the day is still fresh. Your full private online gallery follows within 7 days.

Let’s keep this day.

Tell me your date, the place and what you’re celebrating. I’ll let you know within 24 hours if I’m available.
