This is who I am,

I am Karin Miedema. I was born in the Netherlands. I was a midwife assistant and stayed in the family for ten days after the baby is born. To be a nurse for the mother and baby, teach them how to look after the new born, looked after other children in the family and some housework ( ‘Kraamverzorgster” this is called and for as far as I know only the Netherlands has this kind of care)

I  Emigrated to Canada in 1981 and married a Canadian. I have 2 sons and 2 daughters and 2 beautiful granddaughters. They love to be in my studio with all the props I have.

I have a dog she is a shepherd/collie mix. Very sweet and won’t hurt a fly.

I always had a strong interest in pictures and photography all my life.

I started with photography about 9 years ago. First nature (that I still do) and for the last 6 years I do photo shoots. I have a studio here at home, lots of props I can use if needed but will also go on location.

I specialize in maternity, new born and children. I worked with children from when I was very young and did have a job in this field.

But I also do other photo shoots, like family, couples, engagement and I do pets and events.

Have a look at my pictures.  If you have any questions, please email me at miedema.kg@rogers.com

For now enjoy the pictures and I hope to see you in the near future for a photo shoot.
