Ake is a friend and colleague and I couldn’t be more thankful that she could find time for our little family. The (new) dad in me is very proud to be able to show these pictures to you.
Me & Wenti have always been a big fan of the work of Ake Vandervelden and our appreciation [...]
Last week you’ve all met Tom & Kaatje.
Yesterday little Titus joined the party. And me, I’m the proud godfather!
Because I just couldn’t choose between black and white or color … (see, I’m biased already)
Tech Info: shot with the GF1 + 20mm 1.7 in JPG+RAW (dynamic Black & White). (no LR adjustments)
A while ago I was contacted by Marjanne (and friends) and was asked for a baby portrait session. The fun part about this was that the session would be a present for baby Ella and her proud parents. A special request was made for an extra print.
Now, a month after the session I [...]
It seems that @wenti found her creative outlet and to celebrate the unveiling of her new product line I got to turn the house upside down for some funky looking product shots. But of course it’s the mutskes that steal the show.
May I present to you : “pinnemuts”, “bloem”, “pompon” & “bij”.
More pictures & hats [...]
Neen ik en Wenti hebben nog geen kleine spruit, maar mijn mama is wel gevraagd meter te zijn van Azra & Anand, bijgevolg vroeg ze ook aan mij om eens een fotootje te gaan nemen.
Hoewel het een tweeling is hebben ze duidelijk elk hun eigen karaktertje, van enige broer & zus liefde was er net [...]
Eerlijk, ik ben geen grote fan van het gegeven “communie” en ook niet van de zeemzoete “communiekaartjes”.
Maar toen collega Caroline me vroeg voor haar oudste zoon Xavier eens voor de lens te nemen wilde ik die uitdaging wel aangaan.
Steven aka Gekiekt, pakt het communiegebeuren aan met een eigen visie, je blijft er zijn stijl inzien. [...]
Je moet streng blijven voor jezelf, alleen zo ga je er op vooruit. Toch kan ik een vrang gevoel hebben als iets niet op foto overkomt zoals ik het wil, als iets niet beter is dan vorige keer, als ik geen groei zie in mijn fotos.
Ja, ik ben te streng voor mezelf, maar na een [...]
Yesterday evening I had a fun shoot with Kobe, who is very anxiously awaiting the arrival of his new baby brother or sister. Kobe turned out to be a very spiffy toddler, not always willing to be photographed but very photogenic and bold enough to show some tush.
I had a sore neck yesterday, I knew [...]
This is actually a reader inspired blogpost. A couple of days ago DieterThePhotographer asked me how I got the clarity/sharpness in Lissa’s eyes and if that reflection in her eyes was a softbox I used…
This shot was actually taken with on camera flash. The camera held in portrait mode (obviously), low enough so it was [...]
Something weird happened, after showing Emma’s slideshow, a lot of people, including the parents had the above shot as one their favourites.
But this image was actually recovered from my rejected pictures and almost found it’s way to the recycle bin.
When I browse through my pictures I pick/flag the best ones, these are also pictures that [...]
Last weekend I had a super fun shoot with baby Hasse and her proud parents. After the indoor pictures the weather cleared up and I suggested we’d go for a walk, there was a playground nearby. On the way there I spotted an old factory building and and an abandoned gypsy wagon, Kris & Lien [...]
I’ve done quite a couple of baby & child photography sessions so I feel I should share some tips.
I’m not going to come up with yet another “baby photography tips” list but I’m just going to share some experiences & tricks.
Before my very first session I tried to prepare myself as best as I could [...]
I feel like I’m editing too much sessions at once but I think I know a couple of proud parents anxiously checking my blog for a glimpse of little Emma…
For only having slept 1 hour that afternoon, Emma still had a lot of punch!
More to come!
when I see the expression on the parents face when presenting them with this image.
Newborns are always fun to shoot. Love how she curled her feet every time
I hope mom didn’t think I was nuts using a while paper roll gaffered to the hospital-bedroom wall and for using my home-made flower pot softbox… For this shot I did switch to a more professional looking 9$ shoot [...]
