CELEBRATE THE MIRACLE OF LIFE

capturing the first moments forever

Newborn photography

PURE BABY

The moment your baby enters the world, everything truly changes. Before the birth, you are simply yourself, but as soon as your child is born, you undergo a total transformation. Your entire reason for being changes. It’s as if a new world opens up—one where you suddenly realize that life before your baby was actually just the beginning.

During our New Family Love newborn shoot, we take care of everything. You can take a breath, enjoy that beautiful little being in your arms, and realize just how special this moment is.

We create a calm, warm setting where love, connection, and tenderness take center stage. We capture your baby exactly as they are—together with mom, dad, and any brothers or sisters.

Our focus? The bond between you as a family. Because those first glances, those cuddles, those gentle hands… they speak volumes. And that is exactly what we capture on film.

Perhaps you’re hesitant about being in the photos yourself, and that’s completely okay. But imagine this: looking at those photos together with your child in ten years. Your child, proud of their beautiful mom and dad. Those are the memories that last.

In our studio, we have all kinds of accessories, soft blankets, and a beautiful collection of dresses that you are free to choose from. Everything to give your session that little something extra.

We understand that this period is intense and vulnerable. That’s why we provide a relaxed, safe experience where you can be completely yourself.

Our mission? To create timeless photos that you will continue to feel with all your heart—today, tomorrow, and forever.

Possibilities

Newborn photoshoots

Our New Family Love sessions focus on the loving bond within your family. Since your baby is always held in your arms during this shoot, they don’t need to be brand new. We recommend scheduling the session within the first 10 weeks after birth (or slightly later if your baby was born prematurely). The earlier you schedule, the smaller and sleepier your baby usually is—which gives the images a very tender, early feel.

But don’t worry if your baby is a bit older: we still capture them with just as much love and gentleness. From the age of 3 months, we recommend choosing a Milestone shoot, where we focus on your baby’s growth, interaction, and first smiles.

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. ❤️

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).

Frequently Asked Questions

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

When should I book my newborn photo shoot?Joke Van Eeghem2023-03-03T13:06:51+01:00

When should I book my newborn photo shoot?

It is recommended to book your photo shoot as soon as you are sure you want to capture a photo shoot at Pure Life Photography. In fact, I only have a few spots available each month. This way I can guarantee that the photo shoot will be fully personalized and we will have plenty of time to plan the photo shoot, make arrangements. Has your baby been born yet? Then don’t hesitate to contact me, I may still have a spot available for you!

When is my baby best photographed?Joke Van Eeghem2023-11-27T22:15:54+01:00

When is my baby best photographed?

For a newborn photo shoot, it is generally recommended to schedule the session within the first two weeks of the baby’s birth. Preferably, the photo shoot takes place between the fifth and tenth day. During this time, newborns usually sleep deeper and have a more folded sleeping position, which is beneficial for the artistic poses often used during newborn photo shoots.

Within the first two weeks, babies also still have that characteristic flexibility they had in the womb, making it easier to put them in cute positions without discomfort. In addition, babies at this age can still have a kind of natural curl like they had in the womb, which can also benefit the photo shoot.

However, it is important to consider the baby’s health. If the baby has health problems or if the mother had complications during delivery, it may be necessary to adjust the timing of the photo shoot. It is always advisable to inform me in advance of any specific circumstances so that they can plan the session accordingly.

How can I best prepare for the photo shoot?Joke Van Eeghem2023-03-10T09:47:13+01:00

How can I best prepare for the photo shoot?

About a week before the photo shoot, you will receive a detailed email from me with various tips to prepare for our photo shoot. Be sure to check out my blog already for fun articles in preparation for our photo shoot.

Do I need to bring my own accessories or props for my newborn photo shoot?

No, that’s not necessary at all. I have a studio for props & fun accessories.
If you have your own (sentimental) props or accessories that you would like to incorporate into the photo shoot, that is of course possible.

When and how do I get to see the photos from the photo shoot?Joke Van Eeghem2023-03-10T09:46:59+01:00

When and how do I get to see the photos from the photo shoot?

After the photo shoot, I make a wide selection of the best photos. These photos will be posted on an online gallery and sent to you via email. From this gallery you can select your favorite photos and order any extras. Your favorite photos I will manually edit for you. As soon as your photos are finished, I will repost them in the online gallery and send you a download link.

Can I keep my photos private?Joke Van Eeghem2023-06-10T18:58:13+02:00

Of course you can. Before our photo shoot, I will provide you with a questionnaire asking your permission whether or not I may share your photos on social media (with or without attribution). If you give me permission to share one or more photos, you will have a chance to win a free print of your favorite photo worth 30 euros.

Is it possible to receive the original/unedited photos after the photo shoot?

Unfortunately, I cannot provide the original, unedited photos. My process includes carefully selecting and editing the images to ensure they meet the highest quality standards.
