In the spring, I had a fun special, the "golden hour mini-shoots." During that period, you could schedule a Golden Hour photo shoot for a small price at Domein Drie Fonteinen in Vilvoorde. Margaux had booked her maternity shoot when she was heavily pregnant. Fortunately, her baby son stayed in her belly just long enough to make the shoot a success. Margaux came to my studio, where she could put on her pre-chosen dress at her leisure. Then we went on foot to Domain 3 Fountains (because yes, that beautiful domain is really within walking distance from my studio).

In the middle of March, I had a very enjoyable photo shoot with Sherene. She drove from Antwerp to Vilvoorde for a fine and especially versatile studio photo shoot. Sherene wore different dresses during the photo shoot, which allowed us to create incredibly different photos as a result. When I ask Sherene about her favorite part of the shoot, she replies, "I liked the whole thing! We had fun conversations and good laughs. You made me feel comfortable." When I ask her about tips for future clients of mine, she replies, "Enjoy the moment! Enjoy and just listen to

In early March, I had agreed to meet with Sarah for a photo shoot at Domein Drie Fonteinen in Vilvoorde. The purpose of our photo shoot was to be able to photograph new dresses to further expand my portfolio. During the photo shoot, Sarah was 30 weeks pregnant. When I ask Sarah what her favorite part of the photo shoot was, she answers, "The chats in between, where you get to know the photographer. That way the photos become even more spontaneous because you feel more at ease. I had no stress before the photo shoot. The communication with

Every month I host Pure Belly Mini-shoots, a short but powerful mini-shoot where you can have your pregnancy captured. During the March edition, Cynthia stopped by for her photo shoot. Cynthia was so incredibly happy with her pregnancy & was in love with her baby daughter even before she was born. Happiness splashed off her face. When I ask Cynthia about her favorite part of the shoot, she replies, "I loved being photographed, to capture this moment of my pregnancy. So I can think back on it regularly." When I ask her about tips for future clients of mine,

In the middle of February, I had a very enjoyable photo shoot with Isabel. She drove from Leuven to Vilvoorde for a fine studio photo shoot. The goal of our photo shoot was to be creative, to create something a little different than usual for a change. So it was super nice that Isabel was open to everything! When I ask Isabel about her favorite part of the shoot, she replies, "Experimenting with different dresses/fabrics and poses! Thereby, the interaction and guidance by Joke was very relaxed and pleasant, she came up with creative suggestions that we then tried

Remember that white week in February? When it was snowing so beautifully? I happened to have scheduled a photo shoot with Stéphanie that week, and even though our scheduled one was a studio photo shoot, we couldn't resist - despite the freezing temperatures - to head outside as well (already lucky that right outside my door in the snow is already fairytale-like!). Stéphanie was 32 weeks pregnant during our photo shoot. The perfect time for a photo shoot. After all, it often happens that after 32 weeks you begin to feel a little less comfortable in your skin. At

Remember that white week in February? When it was snowing so beautifully? I really couldn't resist posting a call on my Social media looking for some pregnant ladies for a fun maternity photo shoot in the snow. I never expected to get much response, but I ended up photographing not 1 but 6 ladies in the snow! What heroes all, because it was freezing cold! 1 of these ladies was Melissa. She came driven to my studio, she chose her favorite outfits & we went to photograph right outside my door in the snow. Each time we went back
