Moments become tangible and stay forever.
The person behind
Hello baby
I am a 31-year old birth photographer based in the Hague. After graduating from art school (KABK and WDKA) I decided to become a birth photographer.
In art school, I wasn’t focussed on pregnant women or babies, but I explored my interest in capturing the purest of emotions. This interest led to the idea of capturing births. I did not know what to expect, since I am not (yet) a mother myself.
The first delivery was like a test. I was wowed – I discovered that birth delivery wasn’t like how it was portrayed in films. It is so incredibly beautiful! It requires so much of the mother, but I couldn’t help but witness the power of the woman and the unconditional support of their partner. The best part for me was the intense happiness I witnessed. I believed that every moment deserved to be captured.
Once I was met with the parents’ positive responses upon receiving their photos, who told me the photos were priceless as they tell the story of how their baby came to be, I knew I had made the right choice. Thus, Hello Baby was born in 2016.
Why
choose me?
- Specialization; I only focus on birth photography. This means I am completely devoted to this beautiful craft.
- Discrete; I capture the entire delivery in a stylish way and ensure only moments are captured that you’d like to see.
- Modest; I do not like to be the center of attention and do not interfere with the birth process. I am usually not noticed and when I am, it’s not considered to be disturbing of the delivery process.
- Personal; It’s important to me that my clients feel comfortable around me and that they don’t have to worry about me during the delivery. This sense of trust must be mutual so that I can do my job the best way. I deliver the photos at my clients’ home too.
