Aidy in Portrait
Aidy is 5 years old. We had so much fun while making portraits, which is my main goal when kids come to my portrait studio.
Canada 🇨🇦
When planning this session, I wanted to portray a dark and creepy woman with an empty baby carriage and a darkly lit sky, but the day of the session brought the most beautiful sunlight, shining down on us everywhere we turned. This is when I knew I had to change the concept. All I saw through my lens was a beautiful mother…in deep and profound grief and longing of a child that never came to be. Recovering from the loss of a child is a delicate, deeply personal process - one that is intertwined with sorrow and resilience. While the grief never fully disappears, recovery brings a quiet transformation, a shift from unbearable pain to a bittersweet acceptance filled with love, memory, and the strength to move forward. For a long time, joy may seem impossible, disloyal even. Life becomes fragile. It is a continuous journey of learning to live with loss while embracing life’s beauty again in the midst of all of the pain. And in that, there is a quiet and profound beauty. A reminder that, the sun will shine again

This photo was taken spontaneously after a shoot – a true behind-the-scenes moment. The model had no idea she was being photographed, and that natural authenticity makes the image so special. The scene and lighting immediately reminded me of Film Noir – mysterious, intense, and timeless."

The image showcases a young woman in an enchanting lavender gown adorned with delicate floral embellishments, standing in the middle of an urban street. Her flowing dress and cape billow dramatically, giving the scene a magical, fairy-tale quality. The warm, golden sunlight filters through the cityscape, illuminating her joyful expression as she holds a small bouquet of flowers. Leaves and petals swirl around her, adding to the whimsical atmosphere. The juxtaposition of her elegant, princess-like presence against the modern city buildings creates a striking contrast, blending fantasy with reality.

Het was zo tof om dit magische duo voor mijn lens te krijgen. Aslan is het verzog paard van Annemayke, maar aan alles zag je dat de band tussen deze twee magische en bovenal héél liefdevol was.

"Breathe No More"
In the heart of the forest, where time dissolves into mist and forgotten echoes linger, I sought to capture a world suspended between reality and myth. This image is a reflection of silence—of memories left unspoken, of dreams unraveling like fragile threads on a spinning wheel.
Inspired by dark fairytales and the ethereal beauty of decay, I wanted to craft a scene that feels like a lost story—a moment frozen in time, where shadows whisper and the past still breathes beneath the surface. The woman, draped in lace, is both the keeper and the prisoner of this realm, bound to a fate woven long ago.
Through storytelling in photography, I explore themes of nostalgia, longing, and the delicate line between beauty and melancholy. This image is an invitation to step into the unknown, to embrace the mystery, and to find wonder in the eerie and the forgotten.
