There is something that happens in the room when the photographer is also a woman. I notice it in the way sessions move. Certain things simply do not need explaining. You already know what I mean when I say the camera can feel like a judgement. I know it too.

Being seen in this way, with very little between you and the camera, is a specific kind of exposure. It has nothing to do with finding the right angle or knowing what to do with your hands. I have thought about what it means to be looked at carefully and recorded and I bring that into how I work. I am not observing you from a distance. I am paying attention in a way that I hope feels like it is on your side.

If you want to have that conversation before you decide anything, my inbox is open.

There is a specific quality to the light in my studio in June and July that I genuinely look forward to every year. The attic windows face both the street and the garden side and in summer the light arrives at an angle that creates something softer and more directional than what I have in the darker months.

Sessions feel different in this light. Warmer, slightly slower, less studio and more something else.

I am in Brussels until mid July. If you have been sitting with the idea of booking, there are still a few spots before I leave. Get in touch and we can find a date.

The difference between a photo that feels exposing and one that feels like a revelation is often just the quality and direction of light.

My attic studio has natural light coming from both sides of the roof and it behaves completely differently depending on the time of day and the season. I also work with softboxes when I need more control. But the decision is never purely technical.

Some women open up under soft, diffused light. Others need a little more contrast, a little more shadow, something to settle into. Reading that is part of my job and it starts before the first frame. What this particular person needs in order to feel held, that is what I am thinking about.

If you are curious what the light would do for you, you are welcome to get in touch.

When you receive your preview gallery, you choose your own photos. And almost every single time you pick something I would not have picked myself.

Not a worse photo, just a different one. One where something caught your eye that I had moved past. Maybe the expression, maybe there is something in the way you are sitting that reads differently to you than it does to me. I genuinely do not always know what it is.

What I do know is that it happens every time without exception. You see something in yourself that I cannot fully see from where I am standing. And that photo, the one you stopped at for reasons you cannot quite explain, that tends to be the one that matters most to you in the end.

Your preview gallery is ready within a few days of your session. If you want to know more about how the whole process works, just send me a message.

Privacy in this kind of work needs to be built into the process from the start, not confirmed at the end of it. Because if you are sitting with even a small doubt about who might see these photos, that doubt will follow you into the session and show up in the photos.

The way I work: you own your photos fully. I ask for permission before sharing. Some clients become part of my portfolio. Others have photos that will never appear anywhere outside a private gallery that only they can access. That second option is just as valid and just as welcome.

If privacy is one of the things holding you back from booking, it is worth a conversation before you decide anything. You can reach me directly and ask whatever you need to ask.

Most of the fear around a bo***ir session is about the moment you step in front of the camera.

What very few of you expect is that we are in no rush to get there.

The session starts with something ordinary, coffee, conversation, the makeup artist doing her work, you settling into the space at your own pace. I am already paying attention, but the camera is not involved yet. By the time we actually start shooting, most of the tension has already left the room on its own. That is not an accident. That is the whole design of it.

If you have been wondering what a session actually looks like from the beginning, feel free to ask. I am happy to walk you through it.

The first frame is almost always tense. The last one is almost always the one you keep.

Nobody arrives relaxed. Most people arrive managing something, your expression, your angle, the version of yourself you decided to bring. That is completely normal. The camera is strange and I am a stranger.

But at some point during a session, something changes. The managing stops. I cannot always tell you exactly when it happens or what causes it. Sometimes it is twenty minutes in, sometimes it takes longer. But it always happens.

The last frames look different not because the light changed or because I asked for something specific. They look different because you started just standing there.

That photo tends to be the one you did not expect.
