Bella Baby Photography’s Post

Portraits of Youth I have a deep passion for capturing portraits, with a special focus on teenagers and young adults. This phase in their lives is both vulnerable and powerful, a time when they are constantly discovering and redefining themselves. This makes them fascinating and challenging subjects for my photography. Each photoshoot with a teenager is a unique journey. I strive to create an environment where they feel comfortable, so their true selves can emerge. Having three daughters has taught me the importance of being patient and understanding. These experiences help me build a bond of trust with the young people I photograph. During a photoshoot, I try to truly see who they are. It's not just about capturing a beautiful picture, but about creating a connection. Through this connection, I can capture the essence of their personality and reveal their strength behind the uncertainty. The moment a teenager dares to show themselves, in all their vulnerability and authenticity, is magical. The beautiful strength that lies behind every vulnerable glance is an experience I cherish. It is an honor to capture these moments and create a lasting memory of a time that is unforgettable. If you're interested in capturing your unique story or that of your loved ones, feel free to send me a personal message. Together, we can create memories that will last a lifetime. www.petrafranssen.com https://lnkd.in/enH3AxAE Hasselblad #PetraPortraits #LinkedInPhotography #PainterlyEffect #PortraitsThatTellStories #MusePhotographyAwards #PlatinumWinner2023

Seeing the World Through Their Eyes. 📸 As a photographer, I’ve always been fascinated by the power of perspective. It’s not just about what you capture but how you capture it. Today, I want to share a technique that’s close to my heart—lowering the camera angle to a child’s level. It's all about telling a story differently. When we squat down to their height, we’re stepping into their world. We see what they see: the grandeur of a towering tree, the vastness of a playground, the excitement of a spinning roundabout. This approach isn’t just for photographing children. It’s about embracing the perspectives of different demographics and subjects. From the intensity of an athlete’s focus to the intimate moments of cultural rituals, changing the angle can change the narrative. Every time we are behind the lens, we have an opportunity to add depth to our storytelling. Because in photography, every perspective opens a door to a new world, inviting us to step through and explore. #isleofman

📸 Turning the Lens on Self-Perception: A Photographic Transformation 📸 Let’s face it: the thought of a photoshoot can send even the most confident among us into a state of unease. You’re not alone if the camera’s gaze feels more like a spotlight on your insecurities. Many of us, introverts and self-professed nerds included, often dread the experience. 🙈 But what if I told you it doesn’t have to be this way? As a photographer who once navigated the world as a social introvert, I’m intimately familiar with the discomfort of being in front of the lens. Early in my career, it took me up to 45 minutes just to break the ice with my clients. Time is precious, and I knew there had to be a better way. 🕒 That’s why I developed Expression Coaching™, a system designed not just to snap a picture but to capture the essence of who you are - and who you aspire to be. It's more than photography; it’s a journey to self-confidence. Now, rapport building begins with our first interaction, transforming our session into an environment of mutual comfort and understanding in mere minutes. 🤝 When you step into my studio, you’re stepping into a space where the goal isn't just to take a photo but to redefine how you see yourself. Together, we shatter the negative perceptions and capture a version of you that even the mirror doesn’t see every day. So, I'm curious - what would it mean for you to see yourself in a new light? ✨ #Photography #SelfPerception #Introverts #ExpressionCoaching #PersonalBrand #BreakTheIce #CameraConfidence #BeyondThePortrait #LamonteGExperience

The one thing I keep thinking is that he won’t fit comfortably on my lap for much longer for sure 😭 We don’t need the excuse to take photos of our kids at every opportunity, yet mostly I/we need an occasion or a reason to get ourselves in the frame with them. I have many stories (my very own) but also my clients’ and even more of potential clients that can easily find even better reason why now is not the right time for photos. The illusion of perfect circumstances is just that. There will never be a perfect moment. There is also not a perfect picture. The idea for this Mother’s Day mini portrait is to capture a simple set of portraits, in a moment, together, the love that you feel for each other amidst the inevitable chaos but that is exactly the thing you want to remember. No milestones will await, in a blink they won’t fit on your lap. And I’m literally there with you, struggling to feel quite ready. PS: If you need an occasion for you to step in front of the camera with your kids and have something timeless that you love and DISPLAY in your home, this Mother’s Day mini photoshoot may just tick your boxes. And every time you glance at your photo on the shelf, you will remember the day the baby in your family still fitted on your lap ❤️ (well, me anyway) DM me and I’ll send you the link to all info and booking.
