Photographer in Haarlem

I don’t do a lot of newborn photoshoots. They’re usually the except rather than the rule. But who better to make an exception for than old friends 🙂

I visited my old friend (and fellow South African) Barbara in Haarlem to take some photos of her gorgeous newborn girl. I was curious to see what Lara would look like, because Barbara has the most striking and beautiful blue eyes you will ever see. And I was so excited to see if they would be passed on to the next generation.

Well, it was a bit hard to see since Lara was asleep most of the time (as newborns tend to do). But I have good faith that her eyes will just be as stunning as her mom’s!

It was such an honor to capture this special moment in time for Barbara and her husband. What’s even better, her mom came all the way from South Africa to spend time with the three of them. It just goes to show that photos are so important for amazing milestones like these!

I also made a sneaky little video to surprise them after the shoot. Since I followed the Filmmaking for Photographers workshop with Hannah Millard a few months before, I felt confident enough to dive into the deep end 🙂
