I did my last photo shoot of 2019 with Joke at the Château de Maurissens in Pellenberg, near Leuven. Joke was 34 weeks pregnant at the time and looking radiant.

In early January, I had the 31-week pregnant Shirley in front of my lens. It turned out to be a really fun pregnancy shoot, which took place in a forest & park in Londerzeel. Shirley enjoyed the photo shoot, she loved getting to wear the different dresses & paying extra attention to her baby belly. That Shirley enjoyed her pregnancy to the fullest is certain. She got all peaceful from looking at her belly & seeing her baby moving in her belly. Like any pregnant woman, Shirley obviously had a craving, hers was bell pepper chips. She also regularly

Begin februari sprak ik af met Lorraine, toen 35 weken zwanger van een mooie kleine meid. We spraken af bij mijn ouders thuis, want we hadden het leuke en creatieve idee om een melkbad fotoshoot te doen! Het is eens iets anders! Lorraine had zelf verschillende leuke ideeën die we uitvoerden tijdens de shoot! Lorraine is fotomodel, dus de shoot ging erg vlot! Ze bracht zelf allerlei setjes lingerie mee (waar ze stiekem verslaafd aan is) & leuke accessories; denk aan gekleurde ballen, sinaasappels & citroenen, bloemen, gekleurde bruisballen, confetti ... Met de sinaasappels en citroenen in bad vond

In late November, I had the 33-week pregnant Lindsay in front of my lens. Since Lindsay is from Breda, we agreed to meet "in the middle," namely in the Hoboken Polders in Antwerp.

A pregnancy photo shoot is best scheduled when you are between 7-8 months pregnant. Then your stomach is nice and round, but you (hopefully) do not have many other ailments yet. However, every situation is unique; if you are expecting multiple births or are on bed rest, it is recommended to do the photo shoot earlier (between 6-7 months).

The most important thing is that you feel good and that your belly can be clearly visible. During

Eind november sprak ik af met Marissa in de Hobokense Polders in Antwerpen voor een leuke zwangerschapsfotoshoot. Marissa had een erg korte zwangerschap, want pas toen ze 6 maanden zwanger was, was ze van haar zwangerschap op de hoogte. Een hele fijne en onverwachtse verrassing dus, die kleine jongen van haar! De fotoshoot verliep erg vlot, het was prachtig herfstweer, met een stralende zon. Als ik vraag aan Marissa wat ze het leukste onderdeel van de fotoshoot vond, antwoord ze: "Het gevoel dat ik kreeg van Joke. Het gevoel dat je op dat moment de belangrijkste persoon bent. Een
