When visiting Amsterdam, a visit to the Saturday market at Noordermarkt in the Jordaan is a must for all food lovers. The market is in one of the most scenic parts of the city on the corner of Prinsengracht and Brouwersgracht.
You will find the most beautiful eco produce, cheeses and flowers. A visit to Biologische Noordermarkt Amsterdam is always part of our Saturday ritual. We like to get inspired by anything in season and go home and make the most incredible lunches with the kids. We try to involve the kids in the shopping process so they get just as excited about all the fresh foods and making it into a meal.
Meet Eevee, our new Devon Rex. We surprised our kids during the lockdown with a new kitten. We were so proud of them how they adapted to the new situation during quarantine and being homeschooled. I was following the instagram from Cattery Honolulu for a while and when I saw a photo of Eevee it was love at first sight, we were so lucky she hadn’t been reserved yet.
Finally we got some snow in Amsterdam this February! My husband had to wait patiently, because he really missed to see snow. Growing up in Canada he has great memories of cold winters and snow covered ground.
Because the little ones had been iceskating before, we decided to take them to the iceskating rink at Museumplein. Their dad, growing up in Canada was always playing ice hockey growing up. Because the winters in the Netherlands have no natural ice guarantee, the Museumplein iceskating rink with a view at the Rijksmuseum was a nice way to introduce them to the ice.
I just love doing in home lifestyle sessions. Your own home is part of your story and is also the place where you likely are most comfortable. Especially after you just welcomed a new baby, there is no other place that is more comfortable.
I was excited to do a lifestyle newborn session with this beautiful family in Amsterdam and their sweet baby boy. He was a natural model, he was relaxed and sleeping the whole way through his session. He even gave a couple of smiles. How cute is that full head of hair? :) Here a selection of some of my favourites
A Baptism photography session for a lovely family at the Krijtberg Kerk in Amsterdam. The little girl that was having her baptism was great all day and looked beautiful in her family dress. Click the link to see the highlights from the gallery.
This in-studio maternity photography session was shot in my in-home Amsterdam studio. The client was amazing to work with and pregnancy looked really good on her
It was so much fun doing this lifestyle newborn photoshoot for this beautiful family in their Amsterdam home. Their newest addition to their family is a gorgeous baby boy.
I'm always trying to find fun stuff to do with Darcy when her two brothers are at school. One of my favourite things to do is bring her to the Amsterdam Public Library. In their amazing kids area they The Mouse Mansion (muizenhuis) made by Karina Schaapman.
When looking for the best view of Amsterdam you might have been at the Nemo, the Amsterdam library or the rooftop at the new Dam Square W Hotel. But from this weekend on you can also visit A'DAM Lookout where you can have a spectacular 360º panorama view of the city. A'DAM Lookout is located in the former Shell tower in Amsterdam North (Noord) next to the EYE Film Institute, just on the other side of the IJ from Central Station.
