Pretty Senna in my studio! How lovely she looks in this picture! I love black dogs on black backgrounds, I also love black horses on black backgrounds. I think it suits so well with their black shiny coat! Anyway, I think this is a very beautiful portrait which I definetely would give a place on my wall if it was my dog.

A girl and her pony, always a lovely connection I am able to capture. I love such photos!

Such a beautiful shot of these 2 sisters in my studio. I love their long blond hair against the black background.

A lovely studio shot of this little girl Yoé! I love the outcome of it because of her little ponytails and her true smile.

Eveliene and Mari Ana, what a lovely couple they are together. I always have a weakness for black Friesian horses, I think they are majestic and so graceful. Capturing these 2 was so nice to do!

Ivy with her lovely pony 'Doezel' or his nickname 'Pardoes'. Gosh, I have something with little girls and their ponies. They always show me unconditional love for their best friend. The amazing bond they have with each other is so lovely!

'Every horse horse deserves, at least once in his life, to be loved by a little girl'...
This hits me every time when I have the opportunity to have a girl and her pony in front of my camera. Unconditional love, always!

Energetic, happy and pretty Tica! She is full of energy, loves to work for her owner and gets never tired!

Beautiful Sanne with her white horse 'Mr. White'. Although she was just 2 weeks the new owner of Mr. White during the photoshoot, they were bonded very well in this picture!

Beautiful Sanne with her white horse 'Mr. White'. She was just a week the owner of Mr. White when this picture was made so they still had to get used to each other. However this was not very visible during the photo shoot. I was able to shoot so many pretty pictures of them!

Pretty Jeldau with her Icelandic horse 'Bragi'. I think this is such an adorable picture of them. Icelandic horses can be a bit stubborn and they are very strong but look at his sweet face and fluffy ears. Love all the photos of them together!

Family time. The bond between parents and their child is magical and I was lucky to capture that bond. The light at that moment was gorgeous and I love the not-posed, playful and sweet outcome.

Haflinger yearlings at the breeding farm in Austria. They are so adorable and curious.

I love it when pets join their family portraits. Of course there is always a moment for playing and action!

There is no such love as mother love.....

Every horse deserves, at least once in their lives, to be loved by a little girl'. Such a beautiful quote and indeed, it is true! Look at this little princess on her pony, aren't they lovely together?

Capturing the love and bond between human and animal is the most lovely thing to do!

This beautiful horse is called Milky Way and is an unique Cremello horse with green glass eyes. A combination that is very rare due to a DNA defect. What an unique opportunity to capture this beautiful animal!

This photo was taken during a jumping competition in the Netherlands. I like the power, strenght, force and action in this photo. Stunning achievement of horse and rider.

This little cute dog of my sister, Saartje. I had the chance to photograph her because my sister wanted a beautiful picture of her on the wall. What a magnificent model isn't she?
