Mother Daughter Photoshoot
We listen to the radio in the studio and hear the news that Rachel Hazes wants to forbid André Hazes Jr. to use his father's name as an artist. Ridiculous of course, the addition Jr is the only difference between the old and new Hazes. Apart from the fact that one is alive, and the other is not. And that they make different music, and have a different voice….
In my opinion, the argument here is not just about money, but perhaps even more about recognition. Fortunately, I do not know the ins and outs of the Hazes family, but I do know that the 'system of recognition' plays a major role within every family. During my training as a Family Constellation facilitator, this came up in many constellations. Children who did not feel recognized, parents who did not feel recognized, men/women who did not recognize each other. It sounds a bit vague, but it comes down to the fact that every person simply wants to be SEEN.
And to bridge the gap to my super fun job: that is exactly what I can provide. A photo shoot is dé manier om je kind de boodschap te geven: ik zie jou graag. Op het forum “how about mom” zeggen ze er dit over: Familiefoto’s aan de muur kunnen het gevoel van emotionele veiligheid en verbondenheid vergroten. Regelmatig herinnerd worden aan familiebanden zorgt voor continuïteit en stabiliteit, iets wat een belangrijke rol speelt bij de emotionele ontwikkeling van kinderen.
Strengthen your bond with a relaxing experience
And because I am a mother who loves her children very much, I once started with mother/daughter shoots. In recent years I have seen many duos pass by. Mothers with daughters, fathers with sons and vice versa. The nice thing is that not everyone felt an equally strong bond with the other. But through the photo shoot they always come closer together. It is never the intention to build a forced relationship between the generations, but it is always nice to gain more understanding for each other.
How do we do that? Disclaimer: we don't have a golden formula for that. No, we are just ourselves and we like to talk to people. We like to hear what your thoughts are, what you feel, who you want to be and what choices you make. And in the meantime we take photos that touch. That show exactly who you are. And what you mean to each other. Photo shoots are not an uncomfortable event with us: you will experience it as a relaxing day out.
Klinkt nog steeds vaag misschien…. Maar neem van mij aan dat een fotoshoot bij ons meer is dan een paar plaatjes schieten. Het is een ervaring waar je nog wat langer over nadenkt, die je aanzet tot positiever denken. Over jezelf, maar ook over anderen. En het mooiste is: het resultaat kun je levensgroot aan je muur hangen. Om nog jaren van te genieten, naar te kijken, en je te helpen herinneren aan het prachtige mens op de foto. Of je dat nou zelf bent of niet ❤️
