One Hundred and Nineteenth Collection

Spring itself brings renewal.

For Merlin, it was her very first time in my studio to create beautiful photos. She absolutely had to try on the gigantic pink tulle dress, of course. Just to feel like she was floating inside a pink bubble for a moment. The result is stunning.

A photo of this beautiful Border Collie. When I said 'There's the cat!', he looked me straight in the eye, ready to go after her!

Calm, depth and honesty — a portrait that speaks for itself.

Tulips really bring that spring feeling. Just a little longer and the fields around our village will be in full bloom again. With this bouquet, Lynn and I have already brought into the studio a touch of spring!

Sometimes during a shoot you get a very specific request for a photo. Evi knew exactly what she wanted. It’s so wonderful to see how making photos truly becomes a shared creation.

Guus came to my studio with his dearest little Aapie, the cuddly toy he’s had since birth. Having his photo taken felt quite exciting and a little overwhelming, but with Aapie by his side, he found the courage. It’s so beautiful to see how much safety and comfort a birth cuddle can give.

Fenne came to my studio on a rainy Saturday afternoon. We wanted to create portraits in the style of the old masters. For the series of portraits with birth cuddly toys, she also brought along her dear, cherished rabbit.

We made this photo in the studio, but I also have some images from the Dullstroom bird rescue centre... the wings are from a photo I took there. This composite was made in post production.

“Elegance in shadows. A timeless portrait where light gently traces the contours of grace, revealing beauty in silence and mystery in darkness. The soft satin drape and delicate pose create a moment that feels both intimate and powerful.”
Thank you to my Muse @ohhhkerry

This is a picture of my son Tim. He is almost ten years old. I like the serious look and his beautiful blue eyes. It is so valuable to capture moments like this!

A Quiet Moment

Sometimes a portrait doesn’t need a dramatic landscape or a grand setting.

This image was taken during a simple walk in a city park. No forest, no wide heathland. Just a dog, a bit of grass, and the quiet rhythm of an ordinary afternoon.

Puur en uniek portret 🤎

A beautiful woman sits relaxed on an elegant sofa, the light highlighting her delicate features and calm expression. Behind her, on the wall, there is a large painting of a sheep, adding a surprising and artistic contrast to the scene.
