This photo is taken to try out a couple portrait. I used best friends of mine! I love the way he looks at the camera, strong! She trust en believes him and you can feel because of here closed eyes. <br /> <br /> Model: @josuafitnessjourney @marjoriekarto<br /> Photographer & Lightroom edit: @iamshootingportraits<br /> www.iamshootingportraits.nl
Strong woman hiding her chin underneath her sweater. Her eyes are amazing and i loved that she came to my studio for portrait photos! Her portraits are one of my favorites. <br /> <br /> Photographer & Lightroom edit: @iamshootingportraits<br /> www.iamshootingportraits.nl
Here she is again, my little daughter Lena. People are smiling and making portrait shoot bookings because the summer is coming! And it starts with spring with everywhere beautiful flowers in every color. I picked some flower nearby my house and used them to create some new portrait work with Lena. <br /> <br /> Model: Lena <br /> Photographer & Lightroom edit: @iamshootingportraits<br /> www.iamshootingportraits.nl
I love to use my fan to create wind! This girl with blond beach hair, bright eyes and great eyebrows was a perfect mix to use this type of style! I love to show one eye and hide the other one behind the hair. You can see more of this style in my portfolio. <br /> <br /> Photographer & Lightroom edit: @iamshootingportraits<br /> www.iamshootingportraits.nl
This pretty cute girl with her beautiful skin and big eyes was a perfect model to make this portrait. I used warm colors and a high contrast to create this edit. <br /> <br /> Model: Lillyen ????<br /> Photographer & Lightroom edit: @iamshootingportraits<br /> www.iamshootingportraits.nl
I love to have kids in my studio with red hair. It makes the colors so beautiful and strong with the black background. Her bright eyes has a red/orange spot that makes the contrast with the hair so much stronger. <br /> <br /> Photographer & Lightroom edit: @iamshootingportraits<br /> www.iamshootingportraits.nl
I love the way how kids react and playing with their hands while making the photo. Just asking them things, showing them animals or play the game "Kiekeboo". <br /> <br /> Model: Geovane <br /> Photographer & Lightroom edit: @iamshootingportraits<br /> www.iamshootingportraits.nl
This photo is from a handsome young boy Jay that i made in my studio in Montfoort. I don't get a lot of young boys in my studio so i love this shoot. He was so photogenic with his brown bright eyes. <br /> <br /> Model: Jay<br /> Photographer & Lightroom edit: @iamshootingportraits<br /> www.iamshootingportraits.nl
Meet our dutch Pocahontas Jula! One of my favorite way to create portraits with girls is to use the fan and make the portrait come to live. <br /> <br /> Model: Jula<br /> Photographer & Lightroom edit: @iamshootingportraits<br /> www.iamshootingportraits.nl
During my portraits shoot every week, this baby-boy of one year came by. I felt in love with this picture because he look so good and serious to the camera. <br /> <br /> Model: Lowen<br /> Photographer & Lightroom edit: @iamshootingportraits<br /> www.iamshootingportraits.nl

First shooting with Flutra in May this year. We took full advantage of one of the first nice and warm days and this is a result of it.
This is one of my favourite pictures from the first shoot with Flutra.<br /> This photo was taken at a special Lostplace in Switzerland.<br /> I only used natural light.
This picture of Flavia was taken on a warm summer day at a pool shoot in 2020.<br /> We photographed various outfits and the results were great, thanks to the model for this beautiful day.
My first sports outfit shoot and the first shoot with Flutra. We had a lot of fun together and were able to create a lot of great pictures.
We took the whole day for this shoot. We drove to different locations and finally we visited the beautiful Ebenalp in Switzerland. An absolute dream backdrop for a photo shoot. Many thanks to Stefanie for this wonderful, eventful day.
Desire and I went to this beautiful lost place and took a lot of great pictures. Thank you for the great cooperation and your trust.
Lostplace combined with colored lights. <br /> Sometimes you just have to try it, the result is usually better than expected!<br /> It was the same with this shoot and the various sets.
It was so much fun to shoot with this fitness model. Flutra is very talented and did a great job. I'm already looking forward to the next shoot with her.
First photo shoot with Rebekka. It was a new experience to shoot indoor in a hotel and it was a lot of fun. We are planning our second shoot together soon.
