Spontaneous family shoot in the Belgian Ardennes
Capturing memories in a beautiful setting
As a photographer, I travel a lot and pass by some of the most beautiful places. More and more, I’m being booked in Belgium, mostly by Dutch families who spend a week or weekend there to celebrate something. This could be a 25th, 40th, or 50th wedding anniversary, or just a cozy family weekend. Often, it’s parents with their children and grandchildren, all coming together for a special break. The children usually live all over the country, and this holiday is a unique opportunity for everyone to be together, along with their partners and grandchildren.
A beautiful setting for family photos
Just like this lovely family. We had been in touch beforehand to arrange the family shoot and discuss their wishes. I had also shown them my page, where I share clothing tips for the session. When I arrived, it was cloudy, but the weather was mild. I initially took a wrong turn (Google Maps isn’t always reliable in the Ardennes), but a quick phone call guided me to the right house, a charming Ardennes-style house.
Fun and memorable moments
After meeting everyone, we started with the family portrait in the beautiful garden of the holiday home. It was a spacious garden with flower beds, a lovely typical stone wall, and a patch of grass—perfect for sitting or letting the kids play. The garden sloped down and led to a beautiful nature reserve.
A session filled with joy
This group shoot was an hour of pure fun. Time flew by as we captured all kinds of combinations, and once I’d photographed everything, my task was complete. I said my goodbyes and slowly made my way back to Brunssum through the stunning landscape.
