My story
I’ve been where you are
For over 15 years, I worked in the fast-paced world of digital marketing. I know exactly how much pressure there is to have a ‘perfect’ online presence. But I also noticed something: the most powerful brands weren’t the ones with the most polished, artificial photos. They were the ones that felt human.
When I moved to the Netherlands and made Haarlem my home, I decided to merge my two passions. I wanted to help women entrepreneurs and families bridge the gap between “professional” and “authentic”. I realised that the secret to a great photo isn’t a perfect pose; it’s feeling comfortable enough to let your guard down.
How I work
Making you feel seen, not just captured
I know the feeling of wanting to hide when a camera appears. That’s why my process is different: I don’t just show up and start shooting.
01
Your guide
I help you prepare, choose what to wear, and define what you want to communicate.
02
Your strategist
If we are working on your brand, I use my marketing background to make sure every image serves a purpose.
03
Your observer
If we are with your family, I disappear into the background to catch the honest moments that happen when nobody is watching.
What I do
How I can help you
Family photography
Relaxed, documentary sessions at home, on the beach or in the dunes around Haarlem.
I also work on fashion content and editorial projects. You can see it all in my portfolio.
