Hi! I can't wait to get to know you......
But before we arrange a chat, I bet you just want to know if I am the right photographer for you. So let me tell you a little bit about myself and my family and why I think I am the perfect photographer to take your photos.
First and foremost I am a wife to a very patient Dutchman and a proud mum to a two kids of 7 and 10. You can see them featured in much of my work as I love using them as my models for all my new ideas!!!
My kids are as opposite as you can get but they are best friends and my absolutely favourite thing in the world is listening them laugh while playing with each other! It is the most perfect sound in the world!
I spend most photoshoots laughing a lot! Photography is my happy place so when I'm working and photographing people or things I relax and laugh a lot!!! I tend to find that that is why people feel so relaxed and confident in their photos. It's like being with a friend that you've known for ages (or that's what I aim it to be like!!!)
What is my why?
To know me is to get to know my why.... My why is the reason I am so passionate about photography and why I do what I do.
How did I get into photography? Pure and simple....My Gramps! He was a very passionate photographer, he had so many cameras and other truly amazing gadgets! When I was a teenager I was more into technology and gadgets more than fashion and make-up, so we used to go through everything and I learnt all about different types of cameras and used to spend hours looking through photo albums. Once I was older I used to tell him about the photos I'd taken and the new camera I just bought!
My Mum passed away when I was 23, when I look back through photo albums, I realise how few photos there are of myself and my Mum. She was always the one taking the photos. I was always the grumpy teenager who hated having their picture taken with their mum!!! How I wish I could go back in time and get a lot more photos. Photos that were of us having a laugh, of showing the bond we had together. I do have a couple and I treasure them always.

What's that I hear you say? You don't like your picture being taken?
Yeah me too!
I used to put off booking a photoshoot because I was 'too fat' or 'I don't know how to pose properly'. But you know what..... You Are You and that is what matters!!! Your family just want pictures of you having fun and your clients want to see who they are buying from now and not in a year or two!!! Can your business wait a year or two because you are not confident enough? Nope! And that's what I'm here to do - make you feel confident in your own body so that you can feel on top of the world!
My photos are natural and storytelling, no obvious posing at all, I will give you little prompts to make sure you look your best and to help you relax in front of the camera.
Photography is so important to me. Life passes by so quickly and our children grow up even faster. Now is the time to save time by asking for help with your business so that you can spend that extra time with your children. It's better that your children remember you for having fun than for working all hours.
