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.

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!

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.
