Family is Everything

April 14-15, 2026 in Rotterdam

FIE is an intimate gathering for family and lifestyle photographers who want to grow creatively, strengthen their business, and reconnect with purpose in an atmosphere of friendship and support.

Recharge.
Be inspired.
Learn with experienced photographers who share real-world insights, creative strategies, and honest conversations about what it truly means to photograph families today.

Here are some topics we will be exploring:
- How to create meaning, build emotional connection, and develop your own voice. Building trust, navigating vulnerability, and finding your place within intimate moments.

- Strengthening relationships, refining your style, and creating work that matters in the age of AI.

- Documenting life’s most tender moments with presence, care, and purpose.

- Stop comparing. Build confidence. Stand proud in your unique identity and create a legacy you believe in.

- Gain meaningful insight into your work through thoughtful critiques from Jenna Shouldice and Els Korsten.

It’s Even Easier to Attend
- Our schedule is from 10:00 AM – 5:00 PM making it easy to travel from home each day.

- You can attend both days or only one day.

- You can make the donation later after the conference if you wish.

- Bring a friend. Last-minute attendees are always welcomed!

Thanks to the generous support of our sponsors, everything is ready for you!
We can’t wait to see you.
