On a cold wet school holiday, the conversation at breakfast went like this:

Kobe: “Daddy can we go take some pictures today?”
Me: “Sure, what kind of pictures?”
Kobe: “portraits outside”
Me: “pretty bad weather out there, why don’t we shoot in the studio?”
Kobe: “Cool. Maya do you want to join us?”
Maya: “yups”

One sandwich later:

Maya: “Can we dress up?”
Kobe: “Yeah!”
Maya: “And do our own make-up?”
Kobe: “Only if we use a lot”

Noa: “Can I push the button of the smoke machine?”

Kobe, Maya, Me: “Great plan!”

Ninety minutes later and I have some more pictures that I can show to their girlfriend/boyfriend in a couple of years.

  • Bert – These are awesome! Great expressions, makeup and lighting. I love the line you close with, since it’s very likely that as they grow older doing these kind of shoots might be less likely.

    Sweet set of images. I can only hope my two little ladies will one day volunteer to get in front of the camera like that :)

    cheers,

    Marc

    PS Good to see a post again.

    Maya’s expressions are VERY convincing. She’s a good actress :)
