The Bakker family by the sea
An hour of wind, shells and low light on the beach.
The Bakker family didn’t want photos of everyone standing neatly side by side. They wanted the sea, the wind and the children as they really are: Wout, six, who can’t sit still, and Jip, three, who wants to see everything.
We met at a quarter to seven at the beach entrance. First looking for shells, then running from the waves. Only at the very end, when the children sat tired on a lap, did I take the photo for above the sofa.
The wind blew Jip’s hair in every direction. That exact picture now hangs in their hallway.
The day by the clock





What I remember
Jip asking afterwards if I’d come again next week. With the shells, of course.
