Hi, my name is Shirley and I am a passionate portrait photographer based in the Netherlands. I love doing portraits whether it is of family's, children, happy couples or horses and dogs or a combination of all of them!

Winning photos

Lovely Valente with her sweet Welsh pony Sunny. The bond between them is so obvious in this picture, nothing but trust towards each other.

This lovely dog is Duco. I took this photo during a photography session of him and his owner for her business website. She owns a company in coaching people and their dogs with the help of Duco. Being and stay playful in your life is important and that's exactly what Duco is showing us!

This lovely couple stood in front of my camera a couple of weeks ago. The hottest 9th of June I can remember but what a nice photoshoot I had with them. The love they have for each other is so well felt in their photo reportage.

87th Collection

This lovely girl of 9 years old always wanted to make pictures with her absolute favorite horse breed: Friesians. So her mother arranged this photoshoot with me and the neigbours of her inlaws happened to have a Friesian horse. This is one of the results, they look so pretty together!

Having a photoshoot with your absolutely favorite pony of the riding school. That must be every horse girls' dream. This is Kit with her favorite pony Olaf. Such an intimate moment captured.

Beautiful Cumlaude in the forest in the February sun. It seems like it is Summer instead of a cold Winter day. She is such a gorgeous model!

Pretty mare 'La Fleur' with her also pretty owner 'Loïs' on the Vrouwenpolder beach in the Netherlands last Summer. In this picture the bond between them is so very well exposed. Love to make these kind of pictures!

81st Collection

Icelandic horses Örvi and Axel playing rougly together. Horses play just to have fun but also for define the pick order in the herd. It is very common although it sometimes looks a bit frightening when it is rough game like in this picture. Also, it often happens that they will have some wounds and bruices after playing but it all is part of the game.

81st Collection

This is beautiful mare 'La Fleur' and how lovely she is! And she knows it! This picture is taken on the Vrouwenpolder-beach in the Netherlands during last Summer.

79th Collection

These are my daughters of 8 and 6 years old. I wanted to shoot some photos in Autumn style but in a playful and fun way. I suggested to them that they would make lots of fun and that's it! I love that I was able to catch the late afternoon sun peeking through the leaves of the tree too.

79th Collection

How lovely these Border Collies are named Kyra, Djoni and Jora. They are best friends and very good at modelling too! This picture was taken in the Dutch dunes at the Vrouwenpolder beach last Summer.

Salvador and Nadine at the 'Vrouwenpolder' beach in the Netherlands during sunset. Salvador a mixture of Appaloosa and Friesian blood and Nadine a very pretty KWPN-horse. They are stable mates and friends. Nadine, just 4 years old and for the first time on the beach did so well because her more experienced friend Salvador was with her.
