The colours here are just amazing. Now in Hoi An I can’t stop getting my camera out! Hoi An is this cute little vibrant place in the middle of ricefields. In the evening all streets are filled with lantarns in all colours and there are no other streetlights, very romantic!

This photoshoot is special. It makes me feel special and gives a big cherry on top of the year 2009 cake! Starting out with my own business Made by l e n n e b e l l e (jewellery) last year, this is the first ‘for real’ photoshoot and it all gives it a very professional look & feel! All this thanks to Sophia van den Hoek (remember this name!) I love the image and romantic, soft touch!

Besides Sophia I am very gratefull for my friend and agent Jane Craig from Jane Agents. Without her Made by l e n n e b e l l e would not be for sale in several beautifull shops in the Netherlands! It feels like a kick start! And soon I got my first press exposure! How exciting is all of this! Much more to come this year!

Love to hear from you what you think about this shoot and my work! Check out the shop & site www.lennebelle.com.

And when you are at it also take a look at this cute video of a dancing reindeer who can’t sleep! “IJmpie can’t sleep”

This is IJm’s interpetation of a christmas tree!

I just adore this photo! Jack, our little (big) monster shot with the vintage Leica we are trying to figure out. I will miss my hug buddy  so much when we will be traveling next year for 100 days.

Via one of my best friends I got to know Sophia. She is a dutch stylist with an amzing eye for beauty!

What she makes and does is totaly my cup of tea! The photos she makes are amazing and she does a lot of styling for magazines like Dutch Elle. Also her scrapbook is a joy to look at.

She recently started blogging as well so check out her inspiring blog; SoBinique. And take a look at her shoots and portfolio site here; Sophia van den Hoek.

The atelier where I have painting lessons is so inspirational! It is filled up with little things in every corner! So much to see. And this is just one site of the workshop.

Found this pretty blog ‘FROKEN O‘ via Mila from Loveology! Scrolling through all these amazing photos is addictive! I am longing for a house like this, one with different wallpaper in every room!

As promised here some photos from Garance Doré’s exposition at Foam from the Amsterdam Fashion Week. I asked Foam to send me some work but everything was also shown at Garance Doré’s blog! Check out this cute little film at her site!

This blog is addictive. Garanc Doré weblog; A fille comme moi, is all about fashion. She is a French fashion photographer / illustrator. I met her by accident last fashion week in Amsterdam at the Trash & Treasures where she was photographing for her exposition at dutch fotomuseum Foam. Unfortunaly I missed out on the expo so I just called to see if they could send me some work! Hopefull I can show some photos soon!

Get inspired by all the streetfashion in the big cities and fall in love with her girly illustrations!

I love polaroids! Unfortunately the polaroid is threatened to be extinct! ‘Was’ actualy cause the Impossible Project came to the rescue. The Impossible Project aims to re-start production of analog instant film for vintage Polaroid cameras in 2010! Yeah, can’t wait!

One of my daily reads is My polaroid blog! Also Jen is running out of stock! See some beautifull polaroids from Chloe Aftel (portfolio-fashion-polaroids) and see some of mine here.
