During lockdown, the world seemed to slow down and normal life was put on hold. Nevertheless, my passion for capturing precious moments remained undiminished. As a security guard for the NMBS, I was able to continue my work, but my opportunities to take photos were limited. However, this period of uncertainty and isolation gave rise to a new creative path.
Driven by the desire to create something unique and special, I decided to combine my love of crafting with my passion for newborn photography. That's why I began my search for high-quality wool that was not only baby-proof, but also luxurious and fluffy to the touch. Finally, after some research, I found the perfect materials and crochet patterns to work with.
What started as an experiment quickly grew into a true passion. Namely, I used my creativity to put my own spin on existing patterns. As a result, I created beautiful and unique newborn outfits that brought every photo session to life. From cute hats to soft wraps, each piece bore my personal touch and love for the craft.
On the one hand, I am always on the lookout for unique handmade creations on the internet. In other words, I also buy many exclusive pieces from specialized colleagues. On the other hand, a large part of my collection now reflects my own craftsmanship. Each piece tells its own story and contributes to the magic of newborn photography, which I proudly share with my customers.
So, when you browse through my portfolio, you'll see adorable newborns showing off their handmade outfits. That's because every detail has been crafted with love and dedication.
Be sure to watch the attached video to see how I store all these outfits in the studio. I also show you how I let you choose from an online catalog, so you can indicate your personal preferences for your own photo session.
Finally, I invite you to enjoy the beautiful moments that have been captured and the unique creations that make these moments even more special. For illustration, you can view the page about Newborn photography.
You want meaning.
A moment in your life
that deserves to be paused for a moment.
Not to decide.
Not to plan.
But to feel what this moment does to you.
That is why every session at ESSENCE OF YOU
starts with a personal discovery call.
A relaxed conversation
in which you don't need to prepare anything
or make any decisions.
Just space
for your story
and what is truly valuable to you.
Schedule your personal discovery call
(completely non-binding)
