Well, I was born and raised in the south of The Netherlands in a small town called Sittard. That’s where I also met my husband many years ago, we actually grew up not too far from each other. All of our family is in The Netherlands and we try to visit them at least once a year.
We love to travel and together we moved around a bit. We lived in Derry (Northern Ireland), Lincoln (Nebraska, US), Brandon (Manitoba, Canada), and now, since 2015, we’re in Wichita!
I’ve had several totally different jobs. For years I worked as a day nursery teacher, I worked as a secretary and an executive management assistant. Although I enjoyed all of them, none of these jobs make me as happy as I am when I get to photograph people.
Photography is something I have always valued, even as a kid. My dad used to develop prints in our attic and I was always curious about the prints coming out.
I…
..am fond of great friends and good wine, especially when enjoyed together.
..love a good cup of coffee.
..totally drive my husband nuts when I try new recipes when we have people over for dinner.
..still have a crush on my husband ;).
..am fascinated by people, their stories, and what moves and motivates them.
..think life is too short to take yourself too seriously.
..am not happy with spiders or mosquitoes.
..love to go camping and make a big campfire.
I believe that everybody has a story and my goal is to tell yours. I consider it a privilege when a family or individual allows me to enter their personal world and record who they are. For me, the idea behind photo sessions is not to be formal and stiff. It should be to capture your moments, to snap that time in your life. Let kids be kids, have fun and relax! But enough about me! I want to know about you.
