2015 has been the BEST.YEAR.EVER. Period.

It's year I truly start working as a full-time photographer, owning a business as a entrepreneur and documenting all the wonderfulness and love wholeheartedly. A direction I wasn't confident or strong enough to pursue until the beginning of 2015.

It wasn't easy - trust me. When you are acting as your own boss, secretary, marketer, customer support, accountant, and above all a photographer. The business side was overwhelming. My working time was around 80 hours per week and I wan't able to take my mind off it entirely.

Yet how should I put it... I'm literally living my dream everyday. When you are doing something you are enthusiastic about, it doesn't quite feel like work. The work I was able to accomplish and all the results it brought along are absolutely worth it. 20+ Weddings, 10+ Portrait sessions and 30+ Events/Projects - I'm enjoying each and every one of them. My job has allowed me to travel all around Netherlands from Groningen to Den Bosch, and then all the way down to Paris and Provence in France.The shooting aspects and creativity are definitely the best part.

It was magical getting to know all my lovely wedding couples, wonderful collaborators like Swan Market, working with talented vendors like Naturae Design, and amazing models for personal project.

I was also able to integrate film photography into commissioned works and to give a clear definition to my style: romantic, natural and filled with genuine emotions. These are the elements that inspire me; hopefully also shine through every image and make a connection with the moment. I can't thank my clients enough for believing in my vision and allowing me to create something creatively fulfilling.
