First look: Elsje and Clara

The best kisses

I first met Clara when she was barely a little bean and now she is growing into a lovely little lady! In mid-February, we had the pleasure of hosting the Fourie family, including grandparents visiting from Beijing, in the Bear & Dragon studio. What a fun afternoon! Clara was a good sport with multiple outfit changes. Good thing we had grandpa to keep her smiling.

Thank you Elsje, Clara and family

PS. Happy Friday!

First look: Ruth, Javier and Eric

¡Vamos

I know what you must be thinking. Oh yeah, nice photos of moms and babies but where are the Dads?! Where are the gorgeous family photos? Well we have plenty in store from that direction! Ruth, Javier and 11 month old Eric are a beautiful Spanish family full of energy and life. Eric is a budding footballer and has a smile that will melt your heart. Together they are a great inspiration and a lovely trio to behold.

Winter Woolies

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!

Marvelous Mia

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!

Bright eyes

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.

For the momma’s mommas

Image
Come into the light

Momma’s mommas, one of the most wonderful things out there. Though I love living abroad, I sure do miss my momma. Just thinking about that special lady and all she has done for me. She has a special bond with Zoe and can’t wait for her to come visit this summer (hint, hint mom)! I took these shots during our summer visit to California and they never fail to warm my heart.

So call your momma today and tell her you love her.

Boink!
