Together with his parents and older brother, he came for a family photoshoot. The boys also wanted to have their picture taken alone. Menno wanted to look a bit tough in the photo. Thanks to the soft lighting, it turned into a beautiful, tough yet sweet portrait.

Taking photos together is always a bit exciting at first, but it’s amazing to see how quickly children relax and feel comfortable in front of the camera. Working on ideas together and playing with light is what makes photography special.

Taking a photo is so much more than camera settings and clicking. One of the most important things is making contact and aligning with the person in front of the camera. Ensuring the model feels relaxed and creating a calm atmosphere during the shoot are some of the most beautiful things to achieve while taking photos.

These girls are Anna and Eva, two sisters. They have a lot of similarities but they also have a completely different character. If you take a look at their eyes you can see their differences.
