Meet our dutch Pocahontas Jula! One of my favorite way to create portraits with girls is to use the fan and make the portrait come to live.

This photo is from a handsome young boy Jay that i made in my studio in Montfoort. I don't get a lot of young boys in my studio so i love this shoot. He was so photogenic with his brown bright eyes.

I love the way how kids react and playing with their hands while making the photo. Just asking them things, showing them animals or play the game "Kiekeboo".

I love to have kids in my studio with red hair. It makes the colors so beautiful and strong with the black background. Her bright eyes has a red/orange spot that makes the contrast with the hair so much stronger.

This pretty cute girl with her beautiful skin and big eyes was a perfect model to make this portrait. I used warm colors and a high contrast to create this edit.

I love to use my fan to create wind! This girl with blond beach hair, bright eyes and great eyebrows was a perfect mix to use this type of style! I love to show one eye and hide the other one behind the hair. You can see more of this style in my portfolio.

I ask a good friend of mine to take a photo of her pretty child. This boy has great bright eyes and beautifull blond hair. He was sitting on the chair and looking outside of the window. This is one of my first edit where i choose to use a more gold effect.

Sharyn is one of my favorites models i work with. This photo was taken in front of a window and her hair is moving because the fan is turned on softly.

Another photo of my lovely daughter Lena with her amazing big eyes. For this portrait i used a fan and natural light. Normally i take photos with a dark background. For this photo i chose to use a white background for this photo so her hair can dance with the wind and not disappear with the background.

The freckles, red hair and beautiful bright eyes makes this portrait so strong. This portrait of Sarah is created with Natural light. I played with the saturation so it feels like a painting.

Jalisa, this is one of my favorite black and white potraits. Normally I focus on the eyes in most of my portraits, but for this picture i choose to keep them closed. Why? Because her hands, face, hair, hightlights and great lips falling into one perfect piece!

My favorite portrait of my daughter. My oldest daughter love to help me out and sit in my studio so i can try out some portrait ideas. With this portrait i tried to make the focus on the face and hide her hair underneath underneath the blanket. It was just something to try out and on Instagram it's featured a couple of times already! Feeling blessed i can create these picture for her and see here crow!
