At the beginning of the year, two of our dear friends announced they were expecting their first baby. The official due date has not yet arrived, but little Leo grew very quickly and healthily, that we’ve had the pleasure of meeting him a little ahead of time. Fortunately, he gave us enough time to do …

7 month cuteness
You will not see this sweet baby’s cute little bum. I photographed it (in a soft beautiful back light I might add), but I promised little Emi wouldn’t suffer the embarrassment of having her cute bum published on the internet. Sorry, moms out there. Although I personally prefer baby feet, baby bums are still extra …

Jo & Ron
An engagement shoot So far, I had been working mostly with families and individual portraits. But after shooting this engagement session, I know I will never have too many of these. On one hand, I am guilty of a little dose of corniness -sorry… But on the other hand, I really enjoy the body dynamics …
Trying new things.
Just recently, I learned about a photo technique called the Brenizer method. It took me a while to catch up on it but I had seen many images with this look before and wondered how the photographers had managed to make them. So obviously, once I learned, I had to give it a try. A …
