Cherish the time

I like this picture because it shows how we feel when we become parents. We want to hold and protect this little one that was given to us. It seems like yesterday that I held my little girl like that and now she is ten. And the day I will have to let her go is getting closer way too fast.

This picture is a reminder to never forget that the time we have with our children is limited and we should cherish each moment.

Hands

The hands of those who raised us. Providing, shaping, protecting, holding, always loving. Passing all they have to the next generation. Then they quietly fade out of the picture of life as time passes. Leaving a space to be filled by their sons.

Our Life is shaped by those who love us.

Four Generations

It is not very often that I have four generations in my studio. I was really excited about that opportunity. A big thank you to the Pegler family for your faith in my work.

New Couch for my Studio

Once a while we go to MCC looking for stuff to enrich my studio. This time I was lucky. Found a old stylish couch. I looked for something like this already for I while.

Used it for a shooting with my favorite Model Irene (thank you for taking the time). Here two of my favorite pictures.

Thanks for this donation. And thanks to MCC.

Macro

I like shooting all kind of details. Bought a new macro lens last year. Now I can shoot ants crawling over leaves and flowers:-) Will post more details shots soon.

Autumn two years ago

I used to walk with my dog in the bushes behind our yard for long hikes. Always my camera at hand shooting some pictures and enjoying being alone. But my life with our five kids got so much busier I hardly had the time to do it lately. And since our dog died I haven't done any.

I looked trough my archive and found some picture I took two years ago.



I Like the colors of Autumn. Well on these pictures I helped a bit with Photoshop to get a "little" more color out of it.

Portait shoot in the backyard

If they do not like to be in front of a camera, you are in trouble. Who wants to sit still and look into a boring camera instead of exploring the backyard.



But to shoot her was easy. She loves posing.




Not so much this guy. It's hard to keep him on one spot for more then three seconds.




Usually she doesn't do what you want her to do. But this time it just worked fine.
