Planning a family photoshoot and not sure where to go? The Utrecht region is packed with scenic spots that are perfect for capturing authentic, joyful moments. As a family photographer based in Montfoort, I’ve explored many locations in the area and here are five of my favourites:
1. Maximapark (Utrecht)
With wide meadows, wooden bridges, flower gardens, and forest paths, Maximapark offers a little bit of everything. It’s great for families with young children who want to run around and explore between shots.
2. Oudewater City Centre
If you’re after a cosy, urban vibe with a historical twist, Oudewater is full of charming streets, canals, and hidden corners that add a storytelling touch to your photos.
3. Linschoten Forest and Fields
Just outside Montfoort, Linschoten is peaceful and green, with a mix of trees, fields, and little trails. It’s ideal for natural, relaxed portraits.
4. Nieuwkoopse Plassen
Perfect for a more adventurous session with older kids or teens, this area has beautiful boardwalks, water views, and open skies.
5. Montfoort Castle Grounds
A local favourite—whether you’re dressing up a bit or keeping it casual, the castle grounds and nearby riverbanks give a magical touch to any session.
Each location has its own charm, and I always tailor the session to fit your family’s style and energy. Whether you want to play, explore, or just be together, the Utrecht region is full of places to create beautiful memories.
