You can never start to early with your first party and like I mentioned this baby girl knows how to party. A theme party no less and with Tess taking care of the organisation it looked beauiful and everybody could enjoy delicious treats, cakes and candy while admiring Dominique.

It was a beautiful day and I think it can be concluded that this was the first party of many more.

Mireille looked absolutely beautiful!

So small and already she knows how to throw a party. This past weekend friends and family could come and admire little Dominique and party along on her babyshower. Of course pretty in pink because this is really her color and that was visible in the styling which was truly beautiful.

With the sun out in full it turned out to be a great afternoon

Here a preview.

The wonder of new life it is still a miracle. To see a baby girl so sweet and content made my heart melt. Because that really applied to little Dominique. She is such a happy and content baby. Curious about what is happening around her. Smiling already. It was an honor after capturing the wedding of René and Mireille to now capture this newborn session of their first born.

Here the result. Happy Friday!

Ten little finger and ten littles toes. So small and sweet, little Dominique. Do you remember the beautiful maternaty session of René and Mireille a couple of weeks ago? Yesterday I was again with René and Mireille because their beautiful daughter was born. It took 10 more days than anticipate but when Dominique entered the world she was in a hurry. No time to waist. She was a real top model. No crying at all during the session. I am still impressed. But then the hard part, which image to select. I just started editing but there are so many beautiful ones.

Here they are some images of the family shoot we did this past weekend. With the fun group of 14 we walked the Haarlemmermeerse Bos site that was once the host to the Floriade. The parents can be proud of their family because it was a lot of fun the see how everyone was participating.

Eventhough it was quite cold everybody insisted on taking their coats off and it was much appreciated because it adds to the result. I hope everyone will have a great time a the 50th wedding anniversary party coming up very soon. In the meanwhile I leave you with the images of this great family

We started with the jackets on for the test shot.

Beautiful family

One of my favorites

I have known Jolanda for more than 15 years and this year is a special year for her parents. Because this year they celebrate their fiftieth anniversary. So when she asked me if in honor of this special day I wanted to photograph her parents, the children and grandchildren I was so honored. A couple of months back we set this date and hoped for good weather and we were lucky, a little chilly but dry and the sun showed it's face more than once.

We choose former Floriade grounds and what a fantastic spot is that. We have seen just a fraction but the kids could run and run and climb. So it became a great afternoon and of course I want to show a small preview.

It is nice to go through all the images of this sweet session and what a task to select the ones for this blog post. Both René and Mireille positively glow in the evening sun on this first day that felt like Spring. We had so much fun and it felt like old times to have them in front of my camera again. 

What a great way to capture this special moment in their lives and have a lasting memory.

René and Mireille it was an absolute joy to have you in front of my camera again. Here a small selection of the sweet maternity session.

We started at they house and the nursary is already waiting for the little one.

One of my favorite images. Absolutely beautiful!
