As my all-time favourite author wrote: “You can be whatever you want to in life, as long as you don’t become a critic! Not of other people, and not of yourself. It’s so easy to be a critic, any coward can do that. But art doesn’t need critics, art has enemies enough already. Art needs friends…You’re an artist if you create something! You’re an artist if you don’t see the world the way it is, if you hate white walls! No one else decides what art is, no one can stop you loving whatever you like, the cynics and critics can have control of all the other stuff on the planet, but they can’t decide how hard your heart beats! Become whatever you want but don’t become one of them. Art is a fragile enough light as it is. It can’t be blown out by a single sigh. Art needs friends, with our bodies against the wind and our hands cupped around the flame, until it is strong enough to burn with its own power. Until its an inferno. Unstoppable.” — Fredrik Backman

This collaboration was pure magic, everyone bringing their unique energy and creative power. We spent four hours creating freely, playing with space, light and fabric. A vision I had brought to life, made possible by incredible artists.

Thank you

Sometimes I find it difficult to voice the fact that I see photography as my calling (and not sounding conceited or overly philosophical). Photography found me. It helped me grow as a human, and taught me to see. It drives me completely crazy sometimes, but as soon as I start with a shoot I lose myself in the people, the light, the details. Those who’ve had a shoot with me will contest to my overly excited yelps when something just WORKS! It’s like magic.

I also see it as a calling (and not a job) because I get to serve people, and give them something deeply meaningful in return for their trust and vulnerability. It’s a responsibility I do not take lightly. I keep pushing myself to work on my skills and to improve my craft. How lucky am I to say that I LOVE my job??

Een familieshoot in de Hortus Botanicus in Leiden. Dit is ECHT een van mijn favoriete plekjes voor een shoot. Er is altijd wat te zien - zoveel verschillende mooie hoekjes, bloemen, bomen, mijn hart zingt een lied!

Dit kleine meisje is omringd met zoveel liefde. Nu voor altijd vastgelegd!

Just know: if you book me as your photographer, there will be many black and white photos in your gallery! I love how these photos turned out. They bring attention to the details, facial expressions, and emotions.

Do you love black and white photos, or prefer colour?

Over een paar kleine maandjes mag ik de bruiloft van dit mooie stel vastleggen. En hoe fijn dat ik ze nu al heb ontmoet voor een pre-weddingshoot? Je trouwdag is zo’n intieme dag waar ik overal bij ben! Dus wel fijn als je elkaar dan al een beetje kent. Dat geeft een stuk vertrouwe en rust.

En kijk ze stralen in dit licht!

Altijd een liefhebber voor een contrasterend zwart-wit moment. Het grijpt je, het leidt je oog, het stelt scherp. Verhalend, veelzeggend, indringend.
