Simply You
Communion & Spring Festival

Timeless studio portraits centered around a special moment

 

A communion or spring festival is a milestone.

A phase in which your child visibly grows, changes, and becomes more and more themselves.

With Simply You, we capture this moment in a light, soft, and playful way. No busy decors or passing trends, but timeless portraits where your child is the focus – exactly as they are now.

What is Simply You?

Simply You is a communion and spring festival special organized once a year in our studio.

The focus is entirely on the child.

We work with a light, minimalist setting, so that all attention goes to expression, posture, and personality. This creates images that feel right today, but will still feel beautiful many years from now.

This is not an extensive studio shoot with lots of decor, but a calm, stylish session with room for spontaneity.

Who is this photoshoot for?

Simply You is intended for:

  • children making their communion
  • children celebrating their spring festival

One child is photographed per time slot.

This allows us to work calmly and give every child the attention they deserve.

How does the photoshoot work?

During the shoot, we take the time to let your child settle in.

Everything happens in a relaxed manner – nothing is forced.

  • Your child can be themselves
  • There is gentle guidance, adapted to the child’s pace
  • We work in a calm, safe atmosphere

The photoshoot lasts about 30 minutes. That is enough time to create various images without it becoming tiring.

This photoshoot is conducted by Saskia from Pure Life Photography, who is known for her warm approach and her calm way of working with children.

Extra option: edgier images in Asiat Park

For children who enjoy it, there is also the possibility to take some photos at a graffiti wall in Asiat Park, the park where our studio is located.

This provides a slightly edgier look to complement the light and timeless studio photos – completely optional and tailored to what suits your child.
