One Hundred and Ninth Collection


This woman left a deep mark on me. Gentle, radiant, filled with peaceful and glowing energy. As a yoga teacher, she embodied presence, fully connected to herself and to each moment. I was moved by the tenderness and love she offered to the child growing within her. Every second of her pregnancy felt sacred, cherished like a precious breath. Her tattoos told a story, her own, and beautifully enhanced her presence as a mother-to-be. Through her, I felt this truth deeply: we must live every moment as if it were our last.

They weren’t just posing. They were being. Aslan stood by Annemayke like he’s always known her. No pressure, no rush — just quiet, gentle connection. That’s the kind of magic you can’t fake.


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.

Deborah and Siem, I captured this sweet moment between the two during a warm summer evening. I just love everything about this photo.

Dutch beauty in the colours white and blue. The same colours the Netherlands is known for 'Blue from Delft'.


This joyful boy chose C-mine in Genk for his Communion shoot. Turned out to be an excellent choice: the location perfectly fitted his inner and outer self.

The way Aslan responded to Annemayke’s presence — calm, grounded, and so full of trust — it was like watching two souls speak without words.


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.
