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

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

Tangebeek Forest Grimbergen

Joke Van Eeghem2022-01-14T16:58:30+01:00January 2nd, 2021|Locations, Vlaams-Brabant|

Recently I found a very nice and quiet new location! Maybe for your photo shoot! I took a nice winter walk with my family in the Tangebeekbos in Grimbergen. It seems like an ideal location for a maternity or family photo shoot! The forest is not only made up of trees, but there is also a nice grassy area, a beautiful pond and there are different types of trees that can provide very different backgrounds during a photo shoot. It is a small area which makes it perfect for walking from one place to another during the shoot, in

Het is weer bijna zover ... De kerstperiode komt er aan, en wat voor één? Niemand die het weet of we met z'n allen gezellig rond de tafel gaan mogen aanschuiven ... Maar wat ze ons niet kunnen afpakken, zijn onze wensen & dromen, en daarbij ook het verzenden van wenskaarten. Het is nu dan misschien nog wel belangrijker dan ooit, om die wenskaarten zoveel mogelijk te personaliseren. Want wat is er leuker om een persoonlijk kaartje te sturen & te ontvangen? Van Fotofabriek mocht ik hun wenskaarten uittesten. Ik hield een kleine kerst mini shoot van Noah (m'n

We recently received the news that we may become the proud owners of a beautiful mansion in Vilvoorde as of September 2020! There I will (hopefully) have my own photography studio at home in late 2020, but what is at least as nice is that not only is Park Three Fountains very close by, but also the beautiful and photogenic Hanssens Park is just a few mere kilometers from our home! So it will be 1 of the locations where I can go to photograph often! I went there on a sunny spring day to explore in advance, and

I did my last photo shoot of 2019 with Joke at the Château de Maurissens in Pellenberg, near Leuven. Joke was 34 weeks pregnant at the time and looking radiant. Our photo shoot turned into a very fun pregnancy shoot. I took pictures of Joke alone, as well as of her together her partner Ruud. We were lucky with the beautiful fall weather. The sun was out in full force. It delivered exactly the result I was hoping for! Joke says, "I didn't feel especially 'beautiful' during my pregnancy because of the weight I had gained and I really
