forever my love

She doesn’t need to speak loudly to be unforgettable.

She followed the quiet light,
trusting that even the smallest glow
can lead to a beautiful story.

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!

Tishara in Portrait

Byoux and Danique in the photo studio of The Smederij, Epe

Cozy in teh fall

Where the tall grass dances with the wind,
dreams feel a little closer.

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.

Souls in harmony

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.

Longing for spring beneath a wintered

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.”
