In early March, I had agreed to meet with Sarah for a photo shoot at Domein Drie Fonteinen in Vilvoorde. The purpose of our photo shoot was to be able to photograph new dresses to further expand my portfolio. During the photo shoot, Sarah was 30 weeks pregnant. When I ask Sarah what her favorite part of the photo shoot was, she answers, "The chats in between, where you get to know the photographer. That way the photos become even more spontaneous because you feel more at ease. I had no stress before the photo shoot. The communication with

During my search for a beautiful location for a spring photo shoot, I got the tip to go to the Bomputten in Vilvoorde. There are fruit trees, but these turned out to be a bit small. But don't worry, because this beautiful plain is incredibly beautiful at sunrise and sunset and in May the entire field turns yellow with buttercups. A beautiful view & therefore a great location for your photo shoot! Below are some photos that I quickly took during our exploration. ps. These photos were taken with my iPhone, and not edited, so not with my professional

I have found my favorite location for photo shoots, it is only a 5 minute drive from my studio and you really enter a different, fairytale-like world. I am talking about the Charleroyhoeve and the Maalbeek valley in Grimbergen. The fruit trees are in bloom from April and in May there is 1 large yellow flower field. You will also find cow parsley, reeds and bushes. A dream location for every photographer. Below are some photos that I quickly took during our exploration. ps.

Loving Arms newborn photoshoot with Eline

2023-06-10T18:58:20+02:00May 25th, 2021|Newborn, Recente fotoreportages|

Last year I received an email from Steffie asking if I wanted to photograph her pregnancy. Of course I wanted that with great pleasure, but unfortunately, preeclampsia & premature birth of her baby daughter put a stop to that. So on January 1, Eline was born a tiny girl. After a long period, Steffie and Eline were finally released from the hospital and were able to start their lives at home. Since the maternity shoot could not take place, we had converted it to a newborn photo shoot. So I was incredibly pleased to welcome the brand new little

In early March we had some beautiful, warm days & I had agreed to meet Lynn for a photo shoot at Domein Drie Fonteinen in Vilvoorde. The purpose of our photo shoot was on the one hand to photograph new dresses, and on the other hand to take golden hour photos, 2 birds with one stone! Golden hour is the hour before sunset, when a golden/orange glow falls. My favorite time of day to photograph. During the photo shoot, Lynn was about 28 weeks pregnant. Lynn says, "I was extremely nervous before the shoot but Joke immediately came across

Every month I host Pure Belly Mini-shoots, a short but powerful mini-shoot where you can have your pregnancy captured. During the March edition, Cynthia stopped by for her photo shoot.

When I ask Cynthia about her favorite part of the shoot, she replies, "I loved being photographed, to capture this moment of my pregnancy. So I can think back on it regularly." When I ask her about tips for future clients of mine,

A creative studio maternity photo shoot with Isabel!

2023-06-10T18:57:24+02:00May 3rd, 2021|Pregnancy, Recente fotoreportages|

In the middle of February, I had a very enjoyable photo shoot with Isabel. She drove from Leuven to Vilvoorde for a fine studio photo shoot. The goal of our photo shoot was to be creative, to create something a little different than usual for a change. So it was super nice that Isabel was open to everything! When I ask Isabel about her favorite part of the shoot, she replies, "Experimenting with different dresses/fabrics and poses! Thereby, the interaction and guidance by Joke was very relaxed and pleasant, she came up with creative suggestions that we then tried

A studio maternity photo shoot that became a snow shoot, with Stéphanie!

2023-06-10T18:57:22+02:00April 30th, 2021|Pregnancy, Recente fotoreportages|

Remember that white week in February? When it was snowing so beautifully? I happened to have scheduled a photo shoot with Stéphanie that week, and even though our scheduled one was a studio photo shoot, we couldn't resist - despite the freezing temperatures - to head outside as well (already lucky that right outside my door in the snow is already fairytale-like!). Stéphanie was 32 weeks pregnant during our photo shoot. The perfect time for a photo shoot. After all, it often happens that after 32 weeks you begin to feel a little less comfortable in your skin.

A winter wonderland photo shoot with Melissa

Remember that white week in February? When it was snowing so beautifully? I really couldn't resist posting a call on my Social media looking for some pregnant ladies for a fun maternity photo shoot in the snow. I never expected to get much response, but I ended up photographing not 1 but 6 ladies in the snow! What heroes all, because it was freezing cold! 1 of these ladies was Melissa. She came driven to my studio, she chose her favorite outfits & we went to photograph right outside my door in the snow. Each time we went back
