new announcements!

The reason why I haven't had time to write blogs for a while is because I have been quite busy with some new things the past few weeks!
First of all, a week ago I did my first maternity shoot ever, with Rosanne and her husband Joan. They are expecting twins and I captured the last phase of Rosanne's pregnancy.
This blog won't be about the maternity photoshoot - I will write an individual blog about that photoshoot very soon and I will share all my favorite photo's with you.

The day after the maternity shoot I had to set my alarm for 5.15 in the morning since I was going to travel all the way to Apeldoorn by train, around 7.15 I was on my first train.
I had my first photoshoot for a magazine coming out very soon! It is a magazine where knitted and crocheted clothes will be showed off, there will be crochet & knit patterns inside of the magazine.
The magazine is from the shop Hobbygigant in Apeldoorn.
I won't be showing pictures of the photoshoot until the release of the magazine, but that won't take so long anymore.

Thirdly..
Some of you may know, some of you even shared it! (thank you), but I made another instagram account where I will share the kind of pictures I take for photoshoots and where you can send me a message to book a photoshoot. A maternity, family, friend, loveshoot... etc.
The instagram URL is instagram.com/schilderachtigmooi feel free to follow or send me a message!
I am still working on my portfolio and soon I will be publishing my website.

Have a lovely day,

our trip to Siegen, Germany

In the nineteen years that I exist I visited a few countries - Belgium, France, Spain and a few days ago I also went to Germany. I had never been there before so it was a whole new experience to me although we only stayed there in our hotel for one day. I noticed that I saw literally no person riding a bike there, which is very strange to us Dutch people - as Dutch cities are crowded with cyclists.
For the ones who might wonder... My sister and I went there for a concert, not for a holiday. So enjoying the surroundings behind my car window was really a bonus to me. And the other bonus was coincidentally running into my favorite singer Alex Pappas from the band before the show... by the shopping center in Siegen. And talking to him for ten minutes.

We actually didn't go into the woods and over the hills because sadly there was no time left for that. But in our 4 hour drive to Siegen I actually got a few chances to take some pictures of the surroundings which I would love to share.

Oh, I forgot to mention that I was still very young when I visited France and Spain. Still a small child. recently I told a friend of mine that I am really dreaming of going to the France countryside someday, and this particular dream seems to come true very soon in July or August. Hopefully I will be able to take some lovely pictures there as well.

Now I will show the moments I captures on our way to Siegen. It's so special to see the landscapes change as you are driving through different countries!

have a lovely day,

Sasja
