‘t Zwin in Knokke-Heist
Unfortunately, it doesn't happen often that I'm on the Belgian coast, but when I'm there, I naturally enjoy the beautiful nature to the fullest. For example, I recently went for a walk at 't Zwin, and of course that is also a beautiful location for photo shoots. Swamps, dunes and the sea are just a stone's throw away, so a wonderful location! Below are some photos that I quickly took during our walk. ps. These photos were taken with my iPhone, and not edited, so not with my professional camera as I would normally use during a photo shoot.
the Vrijbroek Park in Mechelen
Oh what a beautiful location I have found for photo shoots, namely the Vrijbroek Park in Mechelen. It actually has everything I love, a beautiful rose garden, ponds with pretty cherry trees and weeping willows along it, walking paths between the fields where you will find cows and horses ... You come from one unique location to another. And great for children, there is not only a very nice, fun playground, but also a nice traffic park and nice little toys along the way. The perfect location for beautiful blossoms during your photo shoot! Below are some photos that
A winter wonderland photo shoot in Vilvoorde with Catia!
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 Cátia. She drove from Antwerp to my studio, she chose her favorite outfits & we went to shoot right in front of my door in the snow. Each time
A lovely maternity studio session of Flor & Rodrigo
Only a few weeks ago, I had the pleasure to welcome Flor & Rodrigo into my cozy studio in Vilvoorde. They came in a little bit shy. After trying on a few dresses and getting comfortable in front of the camera, Flor even danced! I totally love it when my clients warm up during a session. Flor was 36 weeks pregnant during our session. It is recommended to have your session at around 32 weeks, but if you feel comfortable, don't hesitate to contact me, even though you're closer to your due date. Because even then, it's of course
Newborn Happiness – Baby Mini Shoots
During the "Newborn Happiness" mini-shoot, the relationship between your (newborn) baby and yourself is captured in my photo studio. The pure, real emotions and feelings are captured. It is the time to reflect on the beautiful miracle you have brought into the world. Pictures are taken of mommy with baby, daddy with baby and both parents with baby. If there are brothers or sisters, we can also take a family photo. Please note, would you like photos of the brothers / sisters & the baby separately? Book a Loving Arms photo shoot, during this shoot there is more time
Why I’m such a big fan of photo albums …
My mom has the same photography urge as I do, and I have very fond memories of that. I can remember when we used to, instead of being glued in front of the television, the slide screen was brought from the attic & we would watch slides from when my parents were little, very nice family moments. I also have an awful lot of photo books of myself as a child, documenting my entire life. I still find it magical to look at old photos & reminisce. Super fun to look in by yourself, but also totally fun -
Provencial Domain Kessel-Lo, Leuven
The Provencial Domain in Kessel-Lo, Leuven turns out to be an ideal location for a maternity or family photo shoot! The provincial domain not only has a beautiful pond, but also has very different backgrounds (very beautiful trees, swamp, reeds ...). On a relatively small surface we can use an incredible number of nice places as a background. And finally, there is also a very nice playground for the kids! Below you will find some pictures that I took there during a great summer evening.
National Botanic Garden in Meise
If you live near Meise, then you are of course obliged to visit the botanical garden. I couldn't wait any longer, so I paid a visit at the end of March, not only because it seemed like a lovely walk, but also because I've only heard great stories about using this location as a photo shoot location. So 2 birds with 1 stone! The botanical garden in Meise is really an ideal location for your family, pregnancy or communion photo shoot! I was there when the magnolia trees were in full bloom, but I'm sure beautiful scenes take place
Breastfeeding Guide
This list is a helpful guide to common foods to avoid while breastfeeding. These foods usually affect babies under 6 weeks of age. As your baby gets older, you can use the foods one at a time to see if it affects your baby. Every baby is different, so consult your pediatrician if you notice that your baby is experiencing too much colic. To make the photo shoot as smooth as possible, I recommend not to use the following foods at least 2 days in advance: Citric acid foods and drinks such as: cranberries Pineapple Grapefruit oranges lemons strawberries
