        A family session with me was his birthday gift. Hi A family session with me was his birthday gift. His lovely and caring wife offered him a birthday gift voucher to have a family portrait and some unique father/daughters concepts with me. They have 3 beautiful girls and they are blessed to have each other. I was honored to witness all these special moments with them. Special thanks to my clients for coming all the way from Vauderens to my studio and for letting me sharing one of their precious family portrait. <3

Few of you asked me how I capture emotive parenthood and a good family portrait. In this post I would love to give you few tips how I capture a raw dad/child portrait.

Personally, a good family portrait is normally achieved through some combination of connection, expression, pose, composition, colour and lighting. But for me, the family portraits have always been more than just a record of the appearance and lighting. I've always wanted to create a whole authentic story in a single image. 

My emotive parenthood photography begins always with personal connection. I take my time to get to know my parents and their relationship before every session. It's important for me to build a relationship with them, because I want them to feel more comfortable with me. 

I love to take interest in someone's life, to ask questions and to be their friend. It's important for me to let them know they are important and to make them feel beautiful inside out. I think that every parents need to remember how important and special they are.

Photographing the journey of a family is one of my favorite.
Family portraits are special to me. We all know how important it is to document life, to capture memories for our families and to have a visual history of our daily life. Their story and their love are worth being remembered and that is what family photography is all about. 

Emotion-filled images preserve the most beautiful memories of our life. All family portraits are treasures, and their value will only grow with time. ❤️

        So much cuteness from this session with Léona ! So much cuteness from this session with Léona ! 

It was a test shot when I was looking for the perfect light... and immediately, she got this expression ! <3 

Léona is such a talented and inspiring girl. She has a voice in making decisions with a “can-do” attitude and a strong sense of responsibility. I was blessed to photograph her in my studio.

        I had such a blessed session with these two lovely I had such a blessed session with these two lovely children. It made me happy to see this special bond. They are friends. 

This world is filled with people who have different traditions, religions and approches of living. But it's within our differences we can find beauty...and new opportunities ! Cultural differences should not separate us from each other, but instead of making us stronger, more loveable and better.

I'm very amazed to see children grown up beautifully and happy. Being parent is the most important job in the world: educate their children to be kind and to be caring members of the community.

In today's world, if we are able to respect and open to learn about other cultures, to understand each other's values and beliefs, life would be easier for all.

I think it's very important that parents talk about the importance of cultural diversity with their children, so they can understand and accept there are many different cultures other than their owns. The more we interact with people outside of our culture and diversify our reading practice about art around the world, the more we become open-minded and fearless.

Happy Easter Monday to all families and friends. May you be blessed with love and trust. ❤️

Today I would like to share with you one of my recent traditional siblings portraits with their beautiful colourful wax print dresses. 
Love these dresses very much ! 

We may have heard already this name, but after the photo session I was more curious to diversify my reading practice about these wax print dresses... <3

I'm blessed to live with diverse cultures in this country. We are quick realizing the importance of learning, understanding and appreciating different cultures... The more I interact with other families from diverse countries and cultures, the more I learn something new and establish new ways of thinking every day. 

Learning about other cultures is interesting ! Myself, I became multicultural (Vietnamese-German-Swiss) and I'm very proud of it !

It also helps me realize that there are a lot of beautiful approaches to life, and you may not be the best. The more I interact with diverse cultures, the more I respect and value them... There are truly so many benefits of learning different cultures... 🙏 

And what about you? What are you enjoying the most about multicultural environment ?

Happy sunny Monday to every one ! ☀ 
I wish you a meaningful new start of the week.

        I had such a great time shooting Léona in my stud I had such a great time shooting Léona in my studio last week-end.

This little girl won my heart ! I was truly amazed by her skills and full commitment !

She is smart, quick-witted, powerful, has a voice in making decisions with a “can-do” attitude like her beautiful mom !
 
Yes, the best way to encourage our children to develop mental strength is to show them how to be mentally strong. Parents are powerful role models. Children understand a lot... more than we think. You are their leaders, and they look to you for inspiration. <3

        A new addition to my family... 🙂 I'm beyond ho A new addition to my family... 🙂

I'm beyond honored to receive the title "Creative Portrait Photographer of the Year" in one of the largest international photographic competition in Europe ! 

I’m still in shock that I won this category, because I was aware that it was a challenging and difficult category...
 
Yesterday, a carefully packed trophy came all the way from UK to Switzerland with a thoughtful handwriting card. 

I'm humbled and also very grateful to be part of this community. I feel blessed for the way I have been allowed to grow in the midst of all these incredible and supportive artists around the word ! Words cannot express how much it means to me. I'll never forget your support and kindness ! 🙏

This family session gave me so much love and happiness. It was their last Grandmother & Grandson Shooting with me before his grandmother flying back to Colombia.
But they are both still very lucky to have each other.

We don't know where our life will take us, but true love never leaves. Even if your grandmother is not physically by your side, we will be together in thoughts and memories, because true love is everlasting...
Traditions and memories we create today will be passed on through generations. ❤

I would also like to thank you for letting me be a part of this photographic community! I'm gratful to have the support of inspiritional people like you. Words are not enough to express my gratitude for your kindness and encouragement which have been the driving factors in my photographic business.

        CREATIVITY Few of you recently aked me about crea CREATIVITY

Few of you recently aked me about creativity.

I believe that creativity is always in us, but without practice we can lose the ability to connect with it. I saw how many people lose the faith for their creative abilities as their transition through life and into adulthood.

So, everyone can be more creative and it just takes practice. For me, it's not just doing the same thing over and over again, but it should involve pushing myself to master tasks slightly beyond my capabilities. There are so many ways which help us cultivate creativity everyday. 

So, each 2 weeks I try to concentrate on some type of creative project and take my time for it. This is why time off from work is necessary for creativity to bloom.

In this post I will share with you one of my recent creative practice.

This is my first try with shadow photography and it was very funny. My goal was to create everything right in-camera with a single capture. So, creating that shadow that I wanted in the studio took me a lot of time and patience. But for me, it was about the creative process, not just the end result.

If you want to get more creative with your photography, shadow photography is easy to try. I've always wanted to include shadow in my photographs. I was curious how to combine shadow in my portraits and additionally, I wanted to give myself the opportunity to explore new topics that day. 

I think it is important to be willing to take risks and to remind ourself that mistakes are simply part of the process. I experienced how one great idea often leads directly to another and it may be not matched with my current concept, but I took avantage to set it aside to work on later for a future project. <3  So, there is no failure in life for me, only opportunities!

I would like to take this occasion to thank you for inspiring me, for making me believe, trust, learn, create and give back. <3 Thank you!

        Here's to strong women May we know them. May we be Here's to strong women
May we know them.
May we be them.
May we raise them. - Unknown

I finished this image two days ago, but unfortunately I couldn't post this yesterday... 
I hope you enjoyed your day and you could be surrounded yourself with other women who inspire you.

Two days ago, while working on this image I thought especially about women who raise us to be those strong women and they deserve all of the praise. 
At least, I know the one who raised me does.

My mother of course is one of the strongest women I have ever met and she still plays a big part in my strength! Thank you mom for making the difference in so many lives and I am blessed to be one of them.

Special thanks to all you lovely mothers out there for raising their own little strong, independent and intelligent women! <3 

Keep letting our daughters know that they can do anything they put in their mind and helping them into powerful young women in years to come. 
Keep teaching them to stand up for what they believe and to treat others with the same respect and kindness we want them to receive.

May your journey be full of love and compassion.
Shine on... (not just for one day) but everyday!

This is one of my favorite shot with beautiful Aaliyah. My heart filled with pure love when I photographed her... <3 There are so many ways to interact with children of all ages during a photoshoot. Every time I learn new ways to connect with children quickly, to get them to listen to me, and to make the process meaningful for all.

I truly appreciated the way her parents consistently tried to build her confidence by reminding and telling her how "beautiful" she was... There are so many wonderful parents out there! We just have to constantly remind our children that they are beautiful and wonderful people... What they believe is what they will become.

For me, calling someone “beautiful” is about appreciating more than just someone’s looks... 

Some (Vietnamese) parents are afraid that by complimenting their children, they may be arrogant and they will learn to equate the way they look with self-worth...that's not true for me.

I think that paying compliments is fundamental to build confidence in a child and this should be prioritised! 

I have always told my children, "you're beautiful"! My children are beautiful to me, to their dad, to their grandparents and they should class themselves as beautiful, too. We are all beautiful in our own unique ways, so if we see something beautiful in someone why not speaking it out? ❤️
