Turning 50 deserves more than flowers or jewellery. It’s a moment to celebrate who you are right now.

When Janneke spotted my work on LinkedIn, she shared my details with her husband Marc, who then secretly arranged a gift voucher for her birthday. He wanted to surprise her with something truly meaningful - a portrait experience that captured her warmth, confidence, and connection with their family.

Janneke arrived at my Driebergen studio full of positivity and energy. We started with a few portraits of her alone, followed by relaxed family photos with her teenage sons. Like many teens, they felt a bit awkward at first, but soon relaxed and ended up laughing and enjoying the session. The result was a series of beautiful, natural portraits that showed their bond and genuine affection.

After the shoot, Janneke and her family chose a beautiful portfolio box to hold their favourite images - a lasting reminder of a special day and a milestone worth celebrating.

A photoshoot gift is more than an experience. It’s a way to honour a person’s journey and create portraits that reflect strength, love, and confidence. For milestone birthdays like 40, 50, or 60, it’s one of the most meaningful birthday gifts you can give.

If you’re looking for a unique 50th birthday gift idea, a portrait photoshoot at my studio in Driebergen is an unforgettable way to celebrate someone special. Contact me and let's organise something unforgettable.
