The Van Dalen family photo shoot in Chania’s Venetian Harbor

families

A family of four, Richard, Gaby, Niels and Robin met up with me and my assistant Agie for a one-hour session in the Venetian Harbor of Chania, Crete here in Greece.

Coming from Holland they definitely enjoyed the nice sunny day in town.

And here are a few words from Gaby:

In English:

What place should be better for a family photoshoot than a place in the country that feels like a second home to us: Of course no other than a place in Greece! That was the thought I had before I searched for a photographer nearby Chania, to surprise my husband during our holiday in Crete. When I saw Andreas’ website I immediately contacted and I got a good en clear advise of the options within our possibilities and wishes. Yahoo, the day before leaving for Crete, while packaging our suitcases, we had a deal! After a week juicing up the Greece atmosphere, and all having a tiny tan on our faces, the day had come. At once it felt comfortable with Andreas and assistant Agie. With ease and humor, we went through it all, in the lovely old town of Chania. We all enjoyed it very much and we love the result. Wow, what a souvenir we now have!

Thanks a lot, Andreas, and Agie of course, for the beautiful photographs and good memories of the moment.
And in Dutch:
Welke plek zou beter zijn voor een familie fotoshoot dan een plek in het land dat voor ons als tweede thuis voelt: Natuurlijk geen andere dan een plek in Griekenland! Dat was mijn gedachte voordat ik op zoek ging naar een fotograaf in de omgeving van Chania, zodat ik mijn echtgenoot kon gaan verrassen tijdens onze vakantie in Kreta. Toen ik de website van Andreas zag, heb ik gelijk contact gezocht, ik kreeg een goed en duidelijk advies van de opties binnen onze mogelijkheden en wensen. Joehoe, op de dag voor vertrek, tijdens het inpakken van onze koffers, was er een deal! Na een week de Griekse sferen in ons op te hebben genomen, en met een lichte teint van de zon op onze wangen, was de dag aangebroken. Het voelde meteen comfortabel met Andreas en assistent Agie. Met gemak en humor ondergingen we het allemaal, in de lieflijke oude stad van Chania. We hebben er van genoten en het resultaat is prachtig. Wauw dat is nog eens een souvenir!
Erg bedankt Andreas, en natuurlijk ook Agie, voor de prachtige foto’s en goede herinneringen van dat moment.

Our little Penelope
There come times in life when you just gotta break the rules. For years now I try not to mix my family with work. Recently though I have been experiencing new heights of picture taking due to my newborn little girl Penelope. Because of her I have changed the way I view life and have become even more sensitive to my subjects.   What I wanted to share with everyone is the joy of newborn photo sessions via my own baby. In Greece it isn’t as popular as in the States for example, but I have hope that people will accept me into their homes before their child turn 40 days old. Not an easy obstacle to tackle, but doable.  I am so hap ...

Family vacation photo shoot on the island of Crete in Greece
So you have just booked your perfect trip to Greece and are planning on visiting the island of Crete with your family. Perhaps the city of Agios Nicholas on the Eastern part of the island, or Heraklion in the center or the picturesque Rethymno with its Fotezza fortress and old town.   Or better yet the city of Chania in Western Crete with the stunning Venetian harbor and trademark lighthouse.     If this is the case, then you should arrange for a family photo shoot. Personally, I am based in the Chania and mostly work in this area and in some cases I will go to Rethymno for family photo shoots. Unlike longer se ...
