FAMILY CELEBRATION

A little while ago I posted on my instagram a contest to win a photoshoot. Dennis and Linda were the lucky ones that won the free photoshoot of their dreams. But I felt really lucky too when I heard they wanted a pregnancy announcement/family-shoot. I was so excited to help them create a beautiful picture to share the big news with their family and friends. We decided to meet at the Biesbosch, a lovely place with lots of green and water! During a family shoot I like to create mini adventures, so I have the chance to take unforced and natural pictures. It's like I’m not even there and the parents just have fun with their kid. Sam was really excited about going on an adventure. We found an amazing wooden tipi made of branches! He could play with his mom and dad in the tipi and in front of it, he even helpt moving a big branch so he could sit on it with his parents to laugh and cuddle with them. After that we went walking to a big open field with grass and some lovely trees. We created a picknick setting where they could just chill and have some family time. It was amazing to see the natural love between the parents and the child. Sam tried to scare his parents, which led to wonderful moments of laughter! They also whispered funny things in each others ears, and I captured pure and funny moments! I loved to be the fly on the wall with my camera to capture all of these wonderful and magical moments that were happening right in front of me. The biggest and most exciting moment was of course when we could light-up the blue and pink smoke rods to announce the coming baby! We had 90 seconds to create the right image!
