Documentary-style portraits

The focus is on the person, not the pose

I completely understand if you’re not a professional model. In fact, my specialty is working with people who say they “hate” being in front of the camera.

My portraits move away from stiff, traditional poses. My goal is for you to look at the final result and not only see a great photo, but recognize yourself: feeling fresh, natural and truly like yourself.

Why it works

What makes my portrait sessions different

01

Goodbye to camera anxiety

You don’t need to know what to do with your hands or how to smile. I guide you every step of the way, so the pressure simply disappears.

02

A documentary eye

I capture real gestures and natural light, for images that tell a story and create a genuine connection.

03

Styling & strategy

Styling advice before the session and tips on how to use your images to shine online, for personal or professional platforms.

04

Warmth and connection

Luminous, approachable results that turn the classic headshot into a powerful tool for building trust.

Who are these sessions for?

Portrait sessions in Haarlem are for anyone who wants beautiful, natural photos of themselves:

  • Anyone who wants a keepsake that shows who they are today

Sessions take place outdoors in Haarlem (the historic centre, the parks, the dunes or the beach) or at a location that means something to you.

FAQ

Questions, answered

I’m not photogenic. Will this work for me?

Yes. Most of my clients say exactly that before we start. I guide you through every moment, from where to stand to what to do with your hands, so you can relax and just be yourself.

What should I wear?

Something you feel comfortable and confident in. Before the session I’ll send you styling tips on colours, textures and what works best on camera.

Where do portrait sessions take place?

In and around Haarlem: the historic centre, parks, dunes or the beach. I also travel to Amsterdam and other cities in Noord-Holland.

What’s the difference with a personal branding session?

Portraits focus on you as a person, for a profile photo, a headshot or a keepsake. Personal branding sessions are designed for entrepreneurs and include your work, space and products, plus reels and strategy.
