What they said
afterwards

The comment we hear most: "I didn't expect to cry looking at photos of my own baby."

"They worked completely around her nap schedule. Not one forced pose, and somehow every photo still looks perfect."

Newborn session — Brussels

"I was self-conscious about the maternity session and they made it genuinely relaxed. I look at those photos constantly now."

Maternity session — Uccle

"The cake smash was pure chaos and they somehow captured every second of it perfectly, laughing the whole time."

First year session — Ixelles
Questions

Before you ask

The things parents usually want to know before booking.

When is the best time for a maternity photoshoot?

Around week 32–36 of the pregnancy, when the bump is at its most beautiful and you still feel comfortable. We can adjust if your doctor recommends otherwise.

When should I book a newborn photographer in Brussels?

Book during pregnancy if you can. Newborn sessions happen within the first 5–14 days, while babies still sleep deeply, so we reserve your date around the due date.

Is newborn posing safe?

Yes — every pose is spotter-assisted and follows safe-handling guidelines. If a baby isn't comfortable in a pose, we simply don't do it.

Can older siblings and pets join the session?

Absolutely, and we recommend it — sibling and family moments are usually everyone's favourite images from the gallery.

Do you provide props and cake for the first-year session?

Yes, a simple cake, backdrop and props are included for the cake smash. Let us know your colour palette and we'll match it.

Do you photograph at home or in a studio in Brussels?

Both. Home sessions are available in and around Brussels for newborn and first-year chapters, and maternity can be studio or outdoors.

Do you photograph baptisms and first communions in Brussels?

Yes. We cover the ceremony, the family portraits and, if you like, the celebration afterwards, discreetly and without flash. Tell us the church, date and language and we'll send a quote within 48 hours.

Do you speak Spanish, English and French?

Yes, sessions and communication are available in Spanish, English and French.
