What happens with a gorgeous Italian redhead meets her Isreali prince? In this case, elegant Amelia! I had these two lovely ladies in the studio last week and had an amazing time playing and snapping pictures. At eight months, Amelia was a skilled sitter and scooter, pro at outfit changes and all around doll. Please enjoy!
What luck to have so many gorgeous mommas and charming boys in the studio lately! This shoot with Klaus was a ton of fun. We played in the studio and then chased the light around the house. The result was magical! Enjoy and hope you are all staying warm out there.
It is hard to believe but it is one year ago today that our little angel came into the world. It really has been the most wonderful year. Bababoo has an amazing happy spirit and fills each day with light. She is my most beautiful adventure. Happy birthday Zoe!
So how do we celebrate such a momentous day? The only way we know how, by shoving chocolate cupcakes into our mouth. Behold, the cake smash.
Oh my!NomI can stop at any time, I swearMy preciousIt wasn’t meSugar rush!
With this post we travel back in time to before Bababoo was a champion speed crawler. To a gentler time when she was happy to gently roll around in front of the mirror and to be lifted, crunched with and generally used as exercise equipment. I am talking about Baby Yoga!
Back in September, I was turned on to several baby yoga options by the knower of all things wonderful, Katy Kefferpütz. She suggested two to try although in the end just one fit with our schedule (both are below). So I dug out the old yoga mat and away we went!
Housed in the Udi Malka dance studio, Sivananda Yoga is led by the ever smiling (even when several babies are screaming) Laia. The yoga room has one all mirror wall which is very fun and provides roughly an hour of entertainment for the babies, which is perfect since that is the length of the class. With your little one positioned next to you, you will stretch, go through classic but gentle yoga poses and if you are comfortable, you can incorporate your baby as well. If you are a yoga veteran then you will find the experience very gentle indeed, it is designed to help get the body moving again after birth, not necessarily to give you a super work out.
If your baby catches the zen mood then it makes for a delightful hour. Move, chat with other mommies, smile at babies and enjoy Laia’s patient instruction.
Open for little tiny babies up to crawlers. Once you baby clocks in at under 20 seconds to cross the room, your out. 🙂
Om shanti om.

Just because its snowy doesn’t mean we can’t have fabulous outdoor shoots! Isabelle, Nikolas and I headed to the Parc in St Josse to play, cuddle and of course take loads of pictures. Here are a couple of lovely ones to brighten your week. Ahoy Spring!
This week the most marvelous little sprite, along with her mother and grandmother, graced the Bear & Dragon Studio. She danced, she played, I photographed. What fun! I am proud to present a few snaps from our hour that went way too fast. Happy Friday!

What a wonderful day. The more I shoot the more I understand exactly who I am as a photographer. The clean and crisp look of the studio is gorgous and consistent but what really makes my heart jump and puts a smile on my face is when I can capture the interaction, the gentle intensity that is in the relationship between mothers, fathers, sons, daughters, brothers, sisters, grandparents and even dogs!
Here is a first look at our session today with Sandra and Yannick. A little angel with a mischievous glint in his eye. Thank you so much for the pleasure of your company.
