What I find most interesting about siblings is how different their personalities are. And I want my pictures to show exactly that: the unique character of every child. When the parents look at the pictures from this day in their life, I want them to laugh and say "This is so typically her/him!".

I took these pictures during a kids birthday party at Farmer Gows. When the staff let the pigs out, they were running around, squeaking in excitement. The little blond girl simply put her fingers in her ears and wasn't bothered at all. While her older sister screamed in pure panic and tried to get as far away from them as possible. Going to the next room, she was scared of which animal would appear next (it was cute little chicks!). Her little sister stroked her arm and later even passed the little soft toy on to her. And guess what: Once the animals were gone, it didn't take long for her to be all confident and cheeky again.

This little girl's dad lives in the US, while she is living in the UK with the rest of the family. That day, it was her older sister's birthday party. And dad came to the UK as a surprise.

I was there to document the birthday party. I knew about the families story and the little time they get to spend together. So I also focused on capturing those moments between daughter and dad, that show their affection for one another - knowing how rare they are.

My husband and I have lived in two different countries for almost two years. I have taken lots of pictures of us during that time. Looking at them always made me feel close to him in those times when we were not together.

When was the last time you got really excited? So excited, that you stopped doing what you were doing? And just wanted to share your joy?

This little girl had just spotted a plane in the sky. And immediately forgot about riding the tractor. All she wanted was everyone else to look at the plane too. Sharing her joy and excitement about something flying so fast and high up in the sky.

This moment reminded me of my time as an au-pair. We loved sitting in the backyard, staring in the sky, watching out for planes and wondering where they were going.

As a child, everything in the world around us is so exciting. But these moments of pure excitement seem to get more and more rare the older we grow. Which is what makes me love documenting them in pictures even more.
