Because Dieuwke and Johan brought their two little boys to their engagement session I just had to capture some cute images of the whole family. I think I captured even more images of the whole family than of Dieuwke and Johan together. With so many great images to choose from I just had to put some images out on the blog as well.

The boys are truly children of their parents because they were just as easy to photograph as Dieuwke and Johan. Here some great images. 

Happy Monday.

I met Thessa last year when she was one of the coordinators at the wedding of René and Mireille in Castricum and it immediately felt like we knew eachother forever. We kept in touch via Twitter and when she asked me a couple of months ago if I wanted to do a family session I was not only honored but also delighted. As a surprise for her inlaws all of there children and grand children would be included in the shoot.

The location was easily found because as we had such a great time at De Deining last year at the wedding we both agreed that we could do a rerun. We set the date for a sunday and while the rest of the country was covered in rain we had an afternoon in the sun. We were so lucky.

We had a great time and the family did great in front of the camera. I am sharing more soon but here a preview.

So here we are the result of the family shoot I did with Igor, Carlijn and Timme in Bussum. As they just moved house we had to start the shoot in their garden and with the weather being so nice it all came together. Timme was playing sweetly with a ball. I loved all the bright colors of the clothes and the blanket giving the photographs an extra dimension.

We walked to a little park just across from their house to have some more great locations to shoot. Timme was the man, curiously looking at my camera, laughing and so we had fun.

So go on and have a look at the sweet family shoot.

I am back from vacation my battery fully loaded and ready to go. Just before my vacation I had the pleasure of doing a photo session with Igor, Carlijn and their son Timme. Igor was master of ceremony at the wedding of Marine and Dennis last year and they decided to give Igor and Carlijn a photo session. With the winter coming we decided to wait for Spring and so after they moved house and their son turned 1 we set up this shoot.

Even though we planned a month in advance we had could not have done any better because we the weather was great and little Timme was in a happy mood. All ingredients to have a great shoot and that is exactly what it turned out to be. Today a preview of this lovely family.

Today the family shoot with Daan, Sabrina and their two lovely girls. We went to the Amsterdamse Bos and had a lot of fun lying in the gras, climbing on things and jumping of things. The little one Lieke was fearless and could even hang from play rack. She takes after her parents because they two were fearless and climbed and jumped on everything in sight.

I love it when a family has ideas and are involved in the shoot. It shows in the result.

It is always nice when I get a family in front of my camera. Because Sabrina was the master of ceremony at Mireille & Tobias wedding they decided to surprise her with a family shoot. Sabrina is the sister of Tobias and she has a great family. Her husband Daan and two little girls who were an absolute joy to be around. The weather was amazing this past weekend as we were experiencing summer in spring with about 25 degrees, clear sky and sun. So we met at the Amsterdamse Bos a big park in Amsterdam. And what a great location that turned out to be.

Here a preview of this nice family.

There is nothing better than watching the photographs from a session. To see the result up close on my laptop. It is like receiving a gift, a special present that I get to see first. This family session felt like a nice treat.

We have been so lucky again with the weather and little Lisa has been such a joy so sweet. She knows two words which are car and cow so every car, bicycle, plane was car and every animal was cow. She pointed at every moving thing in sight. Here my selection of this nice afternoon we spend in the Amsterdamse Bos.

She just turned 1 year and can almost walk this little girl is simply adorable and yesterday I had the privilege to do a family shoot with little Lisa and her mom Dewi and pap Denny. We went to the Amsterdamse Bos which is not far from their house and had a walk around. We even saw Scottish Oxen that walk about freely in the forrest. As Dewi and Denny hardly have photographs of them together we took some time to shoot a mini engagement session.

I love how they turned out. Here the first preview.

When I was shooting Sandra this weekend I was asked to photograph Jacqueline (the farmers wive) with her horse. I was very willing to oblige because she had been so very hospitable to us all day. So we got the big guy out and persuaded him with a juicy apple to look nice in the shots. At first he did not want to stay within the frame of my camera but when Jacqueline looked at him nicely he became the perfect horse and I could capture them together. And they look pretty perfect!

So after I was done Jacqueline asked me if I could shoot one more image but this time of her and her son. Off course! So we went back to the hay stack and well one shot turned into a mini sessie.

A very big thanks to Jacqueline, her husband Jan and their son Niels for having us on Saturday and allowing us to shoot around the farm and enabling me to get all those great shots.

The difficulty with photography is always which photograph to choose. The more you capture the more choices arise. Well I had that difficulty again after the shoot with Corrina, Cor & Melvin. To many great shots and which to choose and which to eliminate. Well it took me a while but here is the selection of my favorite photographs.
