I have always had an artistic flare and started my creative journey in Swansea Metropolitan University where I achieved a BA honours in Fine Art. Since graduating from university I have travelled, married and raised an equally crazy pair of kids! I am a fully committed mother that believes family should always come first, but as my little mini me's slowly enter their teenage years I'm now ready for new challenges. I reconnected with my creative side at the beginning of lockdown when I started picking up my camera again! Although back then shooting in automatic *cringe* I signed myself up to a photography course at a local college, where I finally found out what all those buttons did and learnt all about the magical light triangle. I am now on a mission to capture your memories and make them look better than ever. With my artistic flair and slightly crazed personality get ready for a truly unique experience!

My photos are sensory. You have to feel them, smell them, taste them. The slight roughness of a lace dress, the smell of a warm summer day. When photographing, my attention is focused on the seemingly unimportant detail. My style lies between documentary and lifestyle. In my work I direct as little as possible and only intervene to remove disturbing elements that do not contribute to the story. I love photographing people. I believe that you can capture the most beautiful moments if you let a person do what they want and don't direct too much. I capture those moments in which you are yourself, in which there is real emotion. A beautiful photo cannot be forced, it comes naturally when someone feels comfortable. As also a family photographer I love weddings with kids. I graduated from the Fotoacademie in Amsterdam in 2021 and have 9+ years experience in the wedding industry.

Van kinds af aan ben ik gefascineerd door fotografie. Na de havo ben ik gaan studeren op de fotoacademie aan de prachtige Prinsengracht in Amsterdam. Toen nog met mijn (analoge) Minolta7000 was ik dagelijks op zoek naar mooie plaatjes en zo niet was ik te vinden in de doka om mijn films te ontwikkelen en af te drukken. Naast school had ik een bijbaantje bij Cameraland waar ik leerde beeld bewerken en het bedienen en onderhoud van machines in het lab. Na de Minolta 7000 ben ik over gestapt op de Nikon F90; tot heden nog mijn favoriete camera maar helaas niet meer van deze tijd. Het digitale tijdperk is aangebroken en de zoektocht naar mijn nieuwe favoriete (digitale) camera is nog in volle gang. Door mijn passie voor fotografie te combineren met mijn liefde voor muziek en concerten heb ik mijn persoonlijke stijl kunnen exploreren en verder ontwikkelen. Zo heb ik onder andere de kunst van het portret fotograferen eigen gemaakt.
