How does it work?

Before the shoot

When you have booked a shoot, you will receive a confirmation email and you will receive a brochure by post containing all the information you need. About preparation, clothing, accessories and other practical matters.
You can always call or app me before the shoot if you have any questions or want to discuss something.

During the shoot

Prior to the photo session there is always a pre-talk. Your specific wishes are discussed here. Is there something you want to emphasize? Is there an object you would like to photograph? I'd like to hear it and keep it in mind. We can also go through the clothes and I can give you advice.
Shoots are private, so I have all my attention for you.

After the shoot

Even after the shoot, the guidance continues. You will receive information from me about what to expect.
Within 24 hours you will receive a preview of some edited photos via Whatsapp.
I'm going to make a selection of all the photos and edit the best ones. You will receive this via a download link.
You will receive high-resolution files without a watermark, which you can print anywhere. There are no additional costs after the shoot.

Baby photoshoot

When?

Baby shoots are possible from about 4 months.
Fun moments are:
4 months (when babies can hold their heads upright for a while).
9 months (when a child can sit loose).
12 months (just able to stand, but not yet walk).
You are of course also welcome at other times with your child.

Time and duration

I shoot 7 afternoons a week from 2pm. When making the appointment, we take into account your child's afternoon nap. Photographing well-rested babies is the best! The latest starting time is 4:00 PM.
A baby shoot takes about an hour. A shoot with older brother or sister together or with parents takes about 1.5 hours.

Clothing and accessories

You can change your child's clothes during the shoot. Don't get too crazy, it's about the child and not the clothes. You don't do most babies any favors with changing, so keep it to a maximum of two times. A bare upper body is also fine and baby photos are timelessly beautiful.
Accessories such as hats, hair bands and props such as baskets are available here.
I also recommend bringing your own cuddly toy if your child is attached to it.

Children's photoshoot

What age?

Children from 1 to 12 years are welcome with me. I will photograph your child in an age appropriate manner.
If your child is older than 12, you are of course also very welcome, but smaller children are my specialty.

Bang, verlegen, druk....

Het leuke van kinderen is dat ze zichzelf zijn en écht zijn. Ik fotografeer je kind zoals hij of zij is, op een ontspannen, respectvolle en leuke wijze, met meer dan 16 jaar ervaring.
Ik weet intussen prima hoe ik kinderen zich op hun gemak kan laten voelen en ze echt laten stralen op de foto. Niet met omkopen, maar met geduld en humor.
De bedoeling is dat je niet alleen een prachtig resultaat krijgt, maar dat de shoot zelf ook een leuke ervaring voor je kind is.
Veel klanten beschouwen een shoot bij mij als een leuk gezinsuitje!

Kleding en accessoires

Je mag tijdens de shoot je kind van kleding wisselen. Maak het niet te gek, het gaat om het kind en niet om de kleding. Je doet de meeste kinderen geen plezier met omkleden, dus houd het bij maximaal twee keer.
Portretfoto's en close-ups zijn het mooiste met 'rustige' kleding.
Maak je geen zorgen: als je een afspraak geboekt hebt krijg je een brochure thuis met adviezen over kleding, haar, kleuren en accessoires.
Heeft je kind een favoriete knuffel? Vooral meenemen!

Pregnancy photoshoot

When?

With a first child you do the shoot around 34-36 weeks and with a second and subsequent child around 32-34 weeks.
My turnaround time is about two weeks, so please book on time.
When you have booked you will receive a special link to indicate in advance which photos you like and in what style you want to do the shoot.

You decide, I advise

You can decide for yourself how much you want to expose. I can put you at ease and you set the boundaries yourself. I do have suggestions and ideas for you. In the studio we always have a conversation immediately prior to the shoot in which you can indicate your wishes and ideas. You can also come completely 'blank', I always have plenty of ideas!
The photos are for your use only, unless your mom gives written permission to use them in my portfolio.

Licensed midwife

You are in good hands with me, because I was a midwife from 1999 to 2014. So I have extensive knowledge of pregnancy and will take good care of you during the shoot.

My other specialty is children's photography, so if a child comes along, the shoot will only be more fun!

Newborn photoshoot

When?

A newborn shoot is done in the first weeks after birth.
With most photographers you can only do a newborn shoot in the first two weeks. As an experienced newborn photographer and former midwife, I have adjusted that period to 6 weeks.
This way there is less rush and your baby is really just as cute at 4 or 5 weeks as at two weeks.
Make an appointment in time, because I usually have a turnaround time of about two weeks.

Safety

Newborn babies are very flexible. That doesn't mean you can do anything with a newborn baby. You even have to be very careful. As a former obstetrician, I know exactly what is and is not possible. And of course everything is well explained and you as parents decide what you do and don't want.

To be clear: some of the photos you see in my portfolio have been digitally manipulated afterwards. The head is supported during shooting and that support is removed with the help of Photoshop.

Clothing and accessories

In a newborn shoot, not much use is made of clothing. The soft wool suits that you see in the photos in my portfolio are present here and can be used during the shoot. You don't have to bring extra clothes yourself.
We also work with wraps (soft cloths) and woolen surfaces.
The baskets and other accessories you see in the photos are all here for you.
You can indicate special wishes prior to the shoot and fill in your preferences via a special link.
