New York - Easter 2019

December 11, 2019

I finally, finally finished a little movie from the footages I had taken in New York last Easter. I was waiting for that to share all the other pictures I hadn't share on the April portraits post. Somehow, I didn't have the confidence to do it so far.

But being on sick leave with a broken foot helps you get rid of that massive procrastination It was the first time I filmed with my new camera at the time and I wasn't as confident as with my old one. But in the end, I'm pretty happy with the result :

So how do you like my coming back to Videoing? I have one more in store to show you from this summer!

And here is also a picture snippet of our trip from last Easter if you fancy a look too:

October 22, 2019

After our little trip to Österlen, we first spent a few days in Malmö at our favourite friends. And then as the weather was finally looking good. So I took Lily on a trip to Copenhagen for a couple of days before heading back to Brussels. All of this was amazing!

Greece with the Flo Show - the Paros workshop

November 26, 2018

So. The Paros photography workshop. Which was so much more than that!Organised by the amazing Flo from the Flo show. I thought I would share it with you right away. The pictures were ready quite quickly, I filled in a folder named Paros. And I shared some on instagram too. But then I froze. It was like I wanted to hold those beautiful moments for myself in fact. As if sharing would take the experience away from me. And keeping it for me would make it closer a bit longer!But now I'm ready to share. Precisely because it is almost like reliving it again. Ready to tell you a bit about the magic that happened there. Follow me:

A little bit of Thailand part 3 (the end)

January 23, 2017

If I post more pictures of Thailand, it's a bit like we are still there, right? We are currently in the process of recuperating. Not only of Jet-lag but also from a bug we caught when we got back. Winter is ok. I'm fine with it. But oh, Thailand was so good. So I kept a few pictures and the three "week-end memories" films I made for Instagram. You can watch it all by clicking below!I promised you movies, so here they are. The first film corresponds to the first blog post:The second week-end, corresponding to the second blog post:And the third part, introducing you to the pictures you'll see after if you still have the courage:I have said it before, the weather wasn't always with us. After we had two full days of rain, some blue sky finally showed up. It was stormy and windy but the light was just amazing:We ate in a restaurant on the beach. We had to walk on the beach from our hotel to get there. Koh Kho Khao is such a beautiful island.Overall, we spent a lot of time by our hotel but it was such a great place:They were so nice, they even gave us the best room of the hotel for the last couple of days. It had an outdoor little pool and a great view on the beach:Evening were great and warm. Despite the lack of sun, we always had such a cool air.And for our last night, we had the best sunset possible:Amazing light, right?And then Lily gave us a little show. That will close my post!And a last one for the road:

A little more of Thailand Part 2

January 17, 2017

Here comes the second part of our Thailand trip. As I mentioned before, the weather wasn't always with us. Just like the air hostess on our trip back put it : " I have been in Thailand every year for the past 15 years. This time was the worst weather ever!".We did enjoy ourselves totally though. And went to magnificent places. Thailand is such a vibrant place. Click below to see more!We decided to escape the rain in Koh Kho Khao where we were staying and pay a visit to the beautiful Phan-Nga bay.  We had an amazing boat trip around it. It's totally magical even in cloudy weather. We also had the chance to go to the Island called "James Bond". The name is due to a duel scene of the movie " the man with a golden gun" between Christopher Lee and Roger Moore. We did some canoeing and more boat ride.We also went to a fishing village that was originally built by Indonesian immigrants. So much life in there. Such an experience for the kids.The cafe they go to before heading fishing:We also visited a school there, they have a football pitch on pilotis!Last part of our trip was for visiting a temple with a giant buddha. I can safely say this was a full on day:Of course, there will be a part 3 to this trip. An amazing experience overall.I hope this gives you a bit of warmth on these cold days!

A little more of Thailand - part 1

January 10, 2017

We are having  a terrific time in Thailand despite the (very) unpredictable weather for the season. I had already posted some picture in my last 52 project post.  So here is a little more.  There will be a 3rd part coming soon.If you care to check, you can click below.I have a thing for long tail boats and you will see many pictures of it.We went on a trip to an Island called Pha. The tiniest thing you have ever seen. It was entirely devastated by the Tsunami 12 years ago. But they managed to use it touristically anyway. You go snorkelling first and then you have lunch on the island.  And we had the Island almost for ourselves:A lot of fishermen around. Kids went fishing with us while we were snorkelling. Different priorities.Always with a book in his hands.He recently read the entire French series called Manoir: And we also went to a busy market in Khao LakWe stayed on an Island called Koh Kho Khao. Ideal, if you ask me. It's quiet. It has beautiful beaches. But still a lot to do around if you wish so.The beach near our hotel was almost for ourselves every day. I'm dreading recommending it as it might spoil the place. I'm therefore hiding the name of our hotel from this blog, haha.We didn't have much sun in fairness. Especially for the season. But when it came, it was quite a party!To be continued...

Hamburg 2015

Little pit stop in Hamburg

August 2, 2015

On our way to the North, we often stopped here in Hamburg before but never actually went to see the city. It was about time we put our nose outside as we say in French. It was very short but still worth it.

Mons 2015

Mons European Capital of Culture 2015

July 3, 2015

We took a family trip to Mons 2015 (European Capital of Culture) the other day. It was surprising to see how beautiful this city has become. I remembered it as dull and grey but in fact it has a cosy, charming and old style.The events and artistic creations set up for the cultural capital are spread all over town. You can take young children with you and walk around. You will always bump into something special such as Sloths hanging above your head. The children were a bit puzzled. Were these real?
