Family Portraits
When were you last photographed together as a family? The busy days merge into years and the beautiful chaos of family life becomes a blur. Take some time out to realise the beauty that is right now and to create images that will be priceless for your children in years to come.
Where do family shoots take place?
Shoots are done in my intimate studio in Driebergen-Rijsenberg. Portraits in studio are classic and timeless and are all about faces and connections between people without worrying about the weather or any distractions from outside.
Consultation
Before your shoot, we'll meet or chat on the phone to go through some images and gather ideas on how you would like to be photographed and if you would like anything specific for your shoot. Is there a place in your home where a large frame would look amazing? Would you like to look through an album of your photos in 20 years time? Is there a specific photo you would love to create or replicate? We'll also go over wardrobe and how to prepare for your session.
What to wear/bring
Generally, plainer, simpler clothes without crazy patterns and stripes and logos work best.
For studio shoots a mix of light and dark can work very well. Blacks, greys, reds, lighter tones or anything you feel great in.
Don't be afraid to mix in a little pop of colour or some pattern/accessories that can tie colour tones together.
When and how will I select my favourite images from my shoot?
I offer in-person photo reveal and ordering appointments two to three weeks after your photo session.
I have a system for helping clients decide between images, showing similar images side by side for easy selection, and assisting people with getting great variety for albums and the perfect wall art pieces. Because I will show a lot of beautiful images, it can be overwhelming to choose on your own and I don't want my customer service to stop at the photo shoot. The in-person photo reveal is my favourite part of the whole process. l absolutely love seeing my client's reactions to their images!
If it's not practical for you to come back to my studio, we can meet online on Zoom where you can choose your favourite images.
Displaying your images
I offer high quality fine art prints, framed wall collections and fine art albums to display your photos. I understand the need for digital images and an equivalent-sized digital image is included with every print purchased so you can make your own reprints.
Have a through some of the products that I offer in the about section.
Retouching
Every image presented to you will be fully retouched to make you look your best. No need to worry about that pimple that pops up the morning, your two year old with a scratch on the face or a snotty baby.
Gift vouchers
Would someone you know love the gift of a family session? I offer gift cards towards a shoot and printed images.
Blog entries
My shoot was a birthday celebration, where I un-apologetically celebrated me at my heaviest and lowest self-confidence. The experience was magical, and I am forever grateful to Jules for making the day unforgettable. Never underestimate the power of celebrating yourself and another woman's talent.
