In the journey of motherhood, countless cherished moments come your way. It starts in pregnancy where you see and feel yourself changing. You grow with your child. It is magical. It's the start of being your mom. You are the whole world for the wonder that is so close and safe to you. You are one together. An experience and feeling that words can hardly express. It's so loving. So warm. So intimate. And when you hold your child in your arms later, you will surely long for it again with nostalgia. Beautiful images of your pregnant self, your growth as a mom, are then very valuable. They will take you back to the cherished moment of this special time.

“What lovely pictures you took! I felt really fat and bloated at the end of the pregnancy because of all the fluid I was holding, but from your photos, I still see that I am beautiful with my round belly. Very nice! Thank you!”
The birth of your child is the best life changer ever! You meet, finally! It's such a love explosion. You've been looking forward to this moment so much. It's intense. It is pure. It's yours. So intimate and so much the two of you together. The start of you as a family. You are completely immersed in it and it can perhaps be overwhelming. You definitely don't want to miss any of it and also remember exactly what's happening, what you see and what you're feeling. It's vulnerable and so empowering at the same time. As a birth photographer, I'm here to portray this wonderful, life-changing and most meaningful experience of your life for you. Although you won't notice that I'm there, I'll make sure you can go back anytime later. I'll help you see everything. I'll help you feel again. I'll help you nurture. Your first encounter. Your first feelings with each other. You guys together.
There is so much to admire during the maternity period that you can hardly stop watching your child. So much beauty to see, to discover. You're getting to know each other better and cuddling up a lot. One cherished moment follows another. There is nothing better than the interaction between your child and his or her mom and dad. How you react to each other. How to interact with each other. How to form a family together. With all the love and, above all, a lot of peace, I will visit you to capture this loving time together. I enjoy watching you enjoy each other from behind my camera.

“After the birth of our son, we thought it would be very valuable to let this new formation of us as a family immortalize. That's why when our son was 3 weeks old, Dominique came to our home for a newborn shoot. She took plenty of time and created a calm and relaxed atmosphere, which had a positive effect on the photos. We are very happy with the result. Warm, intimate images to cherish forever.”
“Dominique is calm and calm, making you and your child feel at ease. She knows how to use the light beautifully and also knows exactly what happens/works well on the screen. Still so happy with the beautiful photos!”
Motherhood brings so much beauty but can also lead to the greatest sadness when you have to say goodbye to your child during pregnancy or soon afterwards. I myself am the mother of our star child Suze and I still have the feeling that I would like to have so many more photos of her. In fact, there can never be enough of them. They are often among the few tangible things left when you have to let go of your dearest child, when you don't want to and can't. The photos I have of Suze mean the world to me and offer me comfort when I am inconsolable. And they are a source of love at a time when only love remains. I wish every parent of a star child that you can experience this comfort and love, transmitted through images. I'm happy to help with this.
“My way of working is mostly personal and relaxed. I think it's important that we have a click. I am present at very intimate, vulnerable and incredibly meaningful moments of your life. It is therefore important that it feels good. I work quietly. I strive to be present without you noticing. I prefer to move around you, your partner and your child naturally. So you can be yourselves. My style is pure, warm and loving. I capture the cherished moments. The emotions. Your connection. The boundless love between them.”
If this feels like a 'yes', schedule an appointment with Dominique.
