OVERALL WINNER 2018 & PEOPLE'S CHOICE WINNER 2018
I want to say a huge THANK YOU to the women from Birth Becomes Her for bringing so much awareness on birth and show women all over the world the options you have to consider when birthing new life into this world.
Secondly I am over the moon with winning this contest they organised and being both the OVERALL WINNER 2018 and PEOPLE'S CHOICE WINNER 2018 with this picture.. Thank you so much for everyone who voted for my photo and I bow to the incredible jury who are people I greatly respect and are great examples to me Jade Beall Photography, Monet Nicole - Birthing Stories,
You know, life hasn't always been easy on my, it's been challenging at times, but than isn't it challenging just te be a woman in many parts of the world today.. But just like the birth process once labour has started, there is no way back.. you have no other option than just KEEP GOING, no matter what .. and in the end, you are opened up to a kind of love ❤ you have never experienced before and you are in awe with your own strength and power 🙂
This has been pretty much the story of my life and building my business as a birth worker .. it's been tough, I have not always believed I could do it (building my own business whilst being a single mum of two children) but it has opened me up to a deep love and passion (for women, for the process of birth), to a life of service and .. hell yeah, it made me stronger!
Thank you to my dear colleagues from Geboortefotografen.com to be my back-up photographers if I can't make it to a birth myself sometimes, I truly couldn't do without you and your endless support ❤ (please check out our page and website www.geboortefotografen.com if you are located in Belgium or The Netherlands and you are looking for a PROFESSIONAL BIRTH PHOTOGRAPHER to capture the birth of your baby).
Thank you to all my clients who trust me to be with them during their birth processes, you inspire me endlessly with your strength, your love, your determination.. you are my true heroes! ❤ ❤ ❤
