For the shoot with Lieke, I used dried hydrangea flowers from my garden. Tiny spiders emerged from the flowers, which she didn’t particularly enjoy, yet she kept her gaze beautifully steady in front of the camera. With the elegant crown on her head, the result is a regal portrait.<br /> <br /> Model: Lieke<br /> Photo & edit: @estherbloemraad.fotografie
Masks have a rich and multifaceted meaning. They are used in many different contexts. As far back as ancient Greece, they were used to express characters and emotions. Masks can evoke questions or simply be used for their beauty and mystery.<br /> <br /> Model: Stan<br /> Photo & edit: @estherbloemraad.fotografie
Met Dayenka during a masterclass in portrait photography. Coincidentally, she was recently in the area and stopped by for a shoot with masks. The beautiful handmade crown also had to be used, and with the light background and my favorite lighting setup, this stunning fine art photo was created.<br /> <br /> Model: Dayenka<br /> Photo & edit: @estherbloemraad.fotografie
At the end of the holiday, these two wonderful brothers came in for a shoot. When photographing children, creating a relaxed atmosphere is key. Often, a bit of playful silliness is a great way to achieve this, leading to beautiful results. This lovely photo is one of them.<br /> <br /> Model: Tom en Max<br /> Photo & edit: @estherbloemraad.fotografie
A serene gaze, captured in light. A small experiment with rim lighting. Something I don’t usually use, but fun to try. Combined with the flash, it creates an atmosphere that is both intimate and powerful.<br /> <br /> Model: Evi<br /> Photo & edit: @estherbloemraad.fotografie
I've known Charity since she was seven or eight years old. Now, she’s a beautiful young lady of 16 years old. A few weeks ago we saw each other again in my studio. Charity was quite nervous and found it scary, as she had never really been in front of a camera before. This is one of the first photos we took during the shoot. A stunning result with my favorite Rembrandt lighting.<br /> <br /> Model: Charity<br /> Photo & edit: @estherbloemraad.fotografie
Jort was one of the first boys I did a photoshoot with three years ago. Now, three years later, he returned to the studio. It was so much fun to do another shoot with him! We recreated photos from three years ago and also captured many other beautiful shots. The block Jort is sitting on I sometimes use, and it fits perfectly with this photo!<br /> <br /> Model: Jort<br /> Photo & edit: @estherbloemraad.fotografie
When children come in for a photoshoot, the beginning is always a bit scary and unfamiliar. After the first few photos, the awkwardness fades, and they start to feel more comfortable in front of the camera. A photoshoot should be fun for children, and what’s more fun than taking silly pictures alongside the smiling ones? A little goofing around during the shoot is important. And when children say afterward, 'That was fun, we’d love to do this again!', that’s when I know the shoot was a success!<br /> <br /> Model: Saar en Huub<br /> Photo & edit: @estherbloemraad.fotografie
A Saturday afternoon somewhere in a park in Amsterdam making fairytale-esque pictures. Playing with light and shadow to make beautiful images.<br /> <br /> Model: Bella<br /> Photo & edit: @estherbloemraad.fotografie
Joury has been wanting shoot photos with me for forever. It has been so much fun to see how she brought her own ideas forward while doing the shoot. And especially wanting to have a photo together with her old bear. This stunning picture was created in my favourite Rembrandtlight.<br /> <br /> Model: Joury<br /> Photo & edit: @estherbloemraad.fotografie

In the silence of black and white, where time briefly stands still, a girl stands with her loyal companions before the endless horizon of the lake. They are connected by a bond unseen but felt by anyone who looks. Together, they face the unknown, gazing into the distance where the worlds of hopes and dreams meet. Three souls intertwined in their own harmony, in a world where words aren't needed, because their hearts speak for them.
This photograph captures the playful charm of autumn. The dogs, partially hidden in a sea of colorful leaves, watches the world with curious eyes.
In a world bathed in violet whispers, a loyal heart speaks without words. The gaze of a soul untouched by time, reflecting love, longing, and the quiet poetry of existence. In the stillness of nature’s embrace, we see not just a dog, but a storyteller of emotions—patient, unwavering, and profound. Let this moment remind us that true connection needs no language, only presence.
A joyful Shiba Inu sits proudly among the lush greenery of a forest, its smile radiating warmth and confidence.<br /> The soft natural light enhances the rich tones of its fur and the surrounding foliage.<br /> A perfect harmony between the dog’s poised expression and the serenity of nature.
A happy Border Collie peeks through lush ferns, its tongue out and eyes bright with curiosity.<br /> The deep green tones frame the dog beautifully, enhancing its striking coat and joyful personality.<br /> This portrait blends whimsy and wilderness in a single captivating moment.
A dynamic action shot capturing a Border Collie mid-leap, sand flying as it chases a toy with intense focus.<br /> The energy and motion are frozen in time, highlighting the breed's agility and spirit.<br /> The composition draws the eye to the dog’s expression of determination and playfulness.
A moment of calm in a sea of jasmine — the sweetest little explorer takes it all in.
This photograph captures a majestic horse in the stillness of a forest, where nature and animal have merged into one. Sunlight filters through the trees, gently touching the horse’s brown back, creating a sense of harmony between animal strength and the tranquility of the surrounding nature. This moment symbolizes freedom, power, and balance, which are integral to the natural world.
Stillness in Lavender. Amidst the fragrant calm of a lavender field, this Sheltie rests in perfect symmetry. The intense gaze, the contrast of dark fur against soft purple hues, and the quiet atmosphere capture a fleeting moment of stillness in nature — both wild and serene.
Silent Nobility: A portrait of quiet strength and timeless elegance. The Friesian horse stands still, wrapped in golden light and forest calm — a living sculpture of power and grace. No movement, no sound — just presence.

This is Dottie. My own faithful four-legged friend in a nice location that suited her very well.
Meet Laika, this 7 month old Siberian husky could pose very well at this young age. A beautiful location during the sunset.
