Do you remember Frøya? I’m sure many of you do. She was one of my very first clients, and a Baby Plan client too! I absolutely loved our photo sessions together and watching her grow :-)

Exciting news… this wonderful family is now a family of 5 – Frøya has a baby brother!

Introducing Trym… 16 days new :-)

Trym is adorable; and even though he didn’t sleep a wink during his special photo session, he was so very calm throughout, an absolute delight!

Many congratulations to you all!

Hope you enjoyed the sneak peek ;-)

Best wishes,

Remember my peek-a-boo post last week? Here’s the official sneak peek for a wonderful family that I met in the centre of The Hague on the day of the World Cup Final (this explains the orange nail varnish ;-))

These two little girls were absolutely A.D.O.R.A.B.L.E. and they totally stole my heart. Look at the smile from Kirsten (above), and I’m thinking big sister, Laura (below), is perhaps a model in the making.. gorgeous!

Such a beautiful family :-)

As we walked through the Binnenhof, Kirsten was cute beyond words!

Doesn’t she put a huge smile on your face?

And the next image, technically an ‘out-take’, but just look at that little face and the pointing finger!

*love*

A gorgeous couple :-)

After a walk along the Lange Voorhout we went to find a cafe on the Denneweg…

What a fabulous Sunday morning! I had a wonderful time *thank you, Melinda* :-)

Hope you enjoyed the sneak peek!

Best wishes,

I’ve had so many photo sessions lately that I’m a little behind on blogging sneak peeks (in fact some may actually become post-peeks!) so watch out for several coming your way…

Just a few short weeks ago, on Father’s Day, I travelled to Ouderkerk aan de Amstel (a lovely little village near Amstelveen) to meet this wonderful family, including Grandma :-)

Just look at that adorable face, doesn’t he make you smile?! :-)

We had a fun afternoon together – drawing pictures of Hello Kitty, blowing bubbles, making a hideaway from umbrellas and blankets, we also did some hula hooping too! ;-)

For the family photos we headed for the bedroom; the light was just gorgeous, streaming in from two large windows.

Such a happy family, it was lovely to spend the afternoon with them.

Oh, and I loved Monty’s t-shirt – it says “Dad is my Hero” :-)

Megan had a mountain of energy, barely staying still for a nano-second. However, after a series of forward rolls I caught her eye for a brief moment…

Hope you enjoyed the sneak peek! There are more peeks coming soon so keep your eyes peeled! ;-)

Wishing you all a fabulous weekend!

Best wishes,

Summer has arrived and I have a fabulously summery sneak peek for you, and an extended sneak peek at that. Earlier this month I spent a wonderful morning at Kijkduin Beach with the M. Family. Their 4 children were adorable, playing in the sand, building sandcastles with their parents and splashing in the sea together :-)

We barely had sand between our toes when the three youngest ran across the beach with their bag of goodies, so sweet to watch them :-)

We had a lot of fun, though there was the odd grumpy moment too, but even those moments made me smile. In the photo above, E. had decided he didn’t want to be in the family portrait; he left us to sit with his back to everyone whilst quietly tossing sand in the air… his grumpiness didn’t last very long though, and he soon joined the others and was having fun jumping the waves *splish splash* :-)

There is so much love in this family, it was wonderful to watch them play together.

They’re a beautiful family :-)

We also took a moment to photograph the children individually. Here’s P. the eldest..

and the youngest, twins A. and K. – they were so sweet, holding onto my hand and walking with me across the sand :-)

E.’s eyes really sparkled, a total cutie!

Of course, we needed a beautiful photo of Mum and Dad too :-)

That’s all for now ;-) hope you enjoyed the sneak peek!

Best wishes,

Ohhhhh I have been just dying to share these sneak peeks! Sometimes I just can’t edit fast enough!!

A beautiful newborn baby boy, 7 days new, and his two big sisters! What a joy it was to photograph this family! And those two little girls – oh so ADORABLE!

Welcome to the world, little Oscar :-)

Hush, little baby, don’t say a word…. shhhhh….

I did mention his two big sisters were adorable, right?

Ohh, melt my heart indeed!

Hope you enjoyed the sneak peek! :-)

Earlier in the year the Family Solutions Netherlands Initiative held the first of their conference series. As well as being a Sponsor for the event, Tigs Creations Photography also donated ‘the gift of custom portraiture’ as a raffle prize. Congratulations to the winners, here’s a sneak peek from their session…

There are so many beautiful images that it was hard choosing which ones to share! Such a gorgeous family, it was really wonderful to meet you all.

For me, this next one really sums up the whole session with this little guy – just *had* to share it! :-)

LOVE his expression! He was a lot of fun, and amazing how much energy he had! :-)

Can I sneak in one more….

Just look at those eyes, so beautiful, she’s gorgeous!

I really had a big smile after this session – hope you enjoyed the sneak peek!

Just a quick update on my availability… I’m now booking sessions late-October and November so if you’re thinking of sending portraits as Christmas gifts for your families, don’t wait to secure your date! For newborns, please contact me asap and before your due date – I always try to make room in my schedule for newborn sessions :)

and….. whilst on the subject of newborns…

Just a few short weeks ago I met this gorgeous family. Here’s a few of my faves from our session: meet Sami, and his little brother, Dani, 25 days new.

So so sweet.. and I love those cute little newborn toes too!

Just look at those gorgeous eyes, Sami is going to melt some hearts with those, for sure!

This one makes me smile :) these are two very handsome little boys!

And here’s the family of four:

It was a pleasure to meet you all, I hope you enjoyed your sneak peek…!

After several days of gorgeous sunshine and warm weather, it was suddenly a very wet morning in The Hague… the sky was grey in all directions, and not the slightest hint of sun or blue sky in sight… should we reschedule, should we not… we decided to go ahead anyway but with a change of location, so I headed off to Gouda (where it was a little less rainy) to meet Vinita, JK, and their son, Vivaan :-)

Vinita is one of my closest friends and a great photographer, I’m sure many of you will have seen photos of her on my blog before  – we have a lot of fun on our photo days ;-) I am truly honored that she chose me to photograph her family :-)

Vini… I hope you enjoy your sneak peek :-)

Our first stop was the park and there was a children’s play area there… Vivaan was too cute, he wanted to play on EVERYTHING! His lovely white shirt didn’t stay white for long!! ;-)

(clickety click on the image above to see the three pics bigger ;) I soooo need to upgrade my blog to allow for bigger pics! hopefully soon…)

I looooove this one.. you’re both so happy and smiley, this is really how I know you :-))

I think Vivaan was getting tired.. oh no… wait…. ;)

haha! so FUN! I sure would like to know where Vivaan gets all his energy from..!! ;-)

Vini and JK – it really was a blast to spend the morning with you and to capture all those images that are rare in a photographer’s family.. I’m so glad we went out and braved the rain! Hope you love your sneak peek, I can’t wait to share all the images with you :-)

It’s time for another sneak peak!

Last weekend I had a really fun time photographing a wonderful family from Australia. We first visited the Japanese Garden for some photos there but we ended up sharing the garden with a film crew and I don’t think they were overly enthusiastic about our rendition of baa baa black sheep, so we left for an adventure in Clingendael Park instead…

But first, since I love the bright red bridges in the Japanese Garden, meet Finn, Ronan and Declan…

There is a gorgeous staircase and a beautifully kept garden in Clingendael so we spent some time there, playing catch and blowing bubbles… and I kept catching Declan resting his hands on his hips, such a cutie!

And, here’s another one, hands on hips again… and looking a little curious about the bubbles his mum was blowing..

So, in an attempt to have all three boys smiling at the same time….

I couldn’t see what mum and dad were up to behind me but it was evidently very funny!

- pssst. out of the corner of my eye I caught dad dancing an irish jig! shhhhhh, don’t tell anyone!

*teehee* the boys were laughing so hard; every time I see this photo I remember their infectious laughter and a smile spreads across my face – it was definitely a fun morning!

We had some time to go and visit the playground too…

Hope you enjoyed the sneak peek!!

Let me introduce you to Amelia Rose….

She is oh so gorgeous! and at just 7 days old here she was still so very tiny, and so sleepy too! such a dream to work with…

Many congratulations to her parents, Mark and Sammy – thank you so much for inviting me to your home to photograph your precious daughter – didn’t I time my trip to the UK well ;-) It was lovely to see you both, and to meet Amelia. I have many more photos to come, but these two just melt my heart, hope you love them just as much as me!

And here’s a few more from the end of the session..

She is so loved.

I can’t wait to see you all again. I’ll be in touch when I have the rest of your images ready :-)
