COMMUNION & SPRING FESTIVAL PHOTOSHOOT

Capture this special milestone

Your child is celebrating their Communion or Spring Festival—a moment full of pride, excitement, and pure joy. It is a day you want to remember forever, not just as a memory in your head, but also to look back on together later.

During this photoshoot, we capture that special phase: your child, radiant in their Communion or Spring Festival outfit, exactly as it feels that day. No stiff, posed pictures, but real moments—a shy smile, a proud look, that feeling of “feeling grown-up” that is so much a part of this milestone.

What can you expect?

  • A relaxed photoshoot in our studio in Vilvoorde, or at a location of your choice
  • Space for both individual portraits of your child and (if desired) a family moment together
  • A warm, patient approach—we take the time your child needs to feel comfortable
  • An online photo gallery from which you can order extra photos afterwards

Why a separate shoot, apart from the Communion day itself?

On the day itself, there is often little room for calm photos—between church, family, and the party, everyone is in a hurry, and that busyness is often reflected in the photos. That is why we prefer to plan this session in total peace, before or just after the Communion/Spring Festival, in or out of the outfit of the day. This way, you get images in which your child truly shines, without the rush.

Our starting point: your child, as they truly are that day

We don’t force poses or fake smiles. The most beautiful photos often emerge just when your child feels at ease—a spontaneous laugh, a moment of pride, a look towards you. We consciously play into that, with plenty of patience and a light, playful atmosphere.

Book your Communion or Spring Festival photoshoot today and give this special milestone a lasting place.

Frequently Asked Questions

Here you will find answers to the most frequently asked questions.

When and how will I see the photos?2026-07-27T08:39:04+02:00

A few days after the shoot, you will receive an online photo gallery with a wide selection from your photoshoot. These photos are unedited at that stage, allowing you to freely choose your favorites. You can order your selected photos (and any extras) through the same gallery, after which we will edit and post-process them to achieve the final result you expect from us.

Can I keep my photos private?2026-07-27T08:39:06+02:00

Before your shoot, you will receive a short questionnaire from us, in which we always ask for permission to use your photos, for example on our website or social media. The choice is yours: yes, no, or only without attribution. We fully respect your decision.

Can I receive the original, unedited photos?2026-07-27T08:39:08+02:00

No, we never release unedited photos or RAW files for download. You will always receive the edited, finished photos from us.

What is the price for extras?2026-07-27T08:39:10+02:00

All prices for additional digital photos and photo products can be found in our webshop / your photo gallery – you can also order your selection there immediately.

When is the best time to schedule a Communion or Spring Festival photoshoot?2026-07-27T08:37:48+02:00

We prefer to schedule the shoot in a relaxed manner, at least 6 weeks before the Communion or Spring Festival. This avoids the rush of the day itself, ensures you get photos where your child truly shines without any haste—and allows you to use the photos during the celebration, for example on invitations or thank-you cards.

Can siblings also be included in the photos?2026-07-27T08:38:05+02:00

Certainly, with the Signature Photoshoot you can choose to make it a family moment. With Essential, the focus is on a portrait of your child alone.

We had a wonderful time during yesterday's photoshoot. Joke helped a lot with her suggestions (dress, background choice, way of posing, etc.) and made us feel comfortable throughout the session. We were smiling and laughing which made the entire experience a happy and memorable one. Joke's professionalism behind the camera is admirable and her rapport with her clients is equally outstanding. I cannot wait to have our baby's photoshoot with her as well. ❤️

Joke made our experience very memorable. She is very friendly and made us very comfortable. She is very professional. She gave us clear instructions about practical details. She clicked very natural, candid shots as we wanted. We will for sure come again for the baby shoot.

Our photoshoot with Joke was absolutely wonderful. We never imagined that it could be so comfortable, fun and memorable.
It is difficult to choose what is the best: perfect website, easy availability of appointments via google, Joke's flexibility with her clients, her work and studio or everything ! I would highly recommend Joke's services through Pure Life Fotografie and can testify this that you can trust her with eyes closed! Eagerly waiting for the final product, we are sure that we will take her services in future too (& recommend to our friends as well).
