A new book cover: classic Spanish poetry in Greek translation 📖

Dear friends,
I am happy to invite you to the new exposition of the Sehnsucht artists. This time in the historical Rhoon Castle, and with the Castle as our theme!

Exposition in the Rhoon Castle New exhibition by the Sehnsucht photographic artists

More snow! Here are some impressions I received from the current EXISTENTIA exposition in Muzeon (Gorky Park, Moscow). I like the idea of my work hanging next to the Tretyakov Gallery :))
The amount of snow right now is impressive both in Moscow and in Rotterdam ❄️❄️❄️

Happy to be part of this exposition, especially with my love for philosophy!
It opens tomorrow and runs for one month.

Dear friends, mothers and children, enjoy this beautiful day!

It has been a hectic time for many of us, and I had little time for social media. Now that exhibitions and client sessions get postponed, I will try to find more time for posts.

There are photo sessions and travel inspiration still waiting for blog features!
Today I am sharing a photo session with 4 wonderful children. Their father made a great present for his wife's birthday.

It is almost spring again. Saying goodbye to the winter we did not have ❄️☃️

Sneeuwnostalgie Wintersprookje in Moskou

I am back from a trip to Moscow. The climate change is drastic, and I haven't seen much snow. Just a little moment of blizzard to share for old-fashioned winter mood.

Special issue: my friends Karen and Marcel are 25 years together! Wow! Take a look at their romantic walk in Rotterdam.

This blog post features a children's photo session in the historic center of Delft. Take a look: the atmosphere is just magical!

What do you see? Karen & Marcel travel in time to old Rotterdam :)

Next blog post will feature a children's photo session in Delft. It's magical!

Travel and nature are among my sources of inspiration. In September I had a wonderful trip to Italy. There was so much beauty, I need to share a few moments. ✨

Did you know I also offer gift certificates?
Photo session is such a special present.
It starts with excitement and fun experience and is customised for that very person or family. And it delivers something that will remain. ✨

Can little children keep secret to surprise their parents?

My experience had been very positive with children as young as 2 years old. This cool little guy, Floris, had already turned five. You can see from his gaze he is very self-conscious. So secrets were safe with him (and with his elder brothers and sister, of course). Their mother's special birthday present (a gallery of children's portraits) remained a surprise. Oh, I love such projects!

The mask is actually a greeting card Floris got earlier.

50% off all Blurb photography books through 2 December. My "Portals" book including.

Portals Entryways to other universes appear in our mind as we invent and invite them. “Portals” is a journey through a labyrinth of imagined realities, space and time dislocations. Ultimately, the book explores the realm of subconscious.

The time before the holiday season is so busy I cannot find enough time to blog or even to post updates. But I am going to work on it! This cute little guy will be on the next blog!

My dear friends Karen and Marcel are together for 25 years! We had a great day in Rotterdam, and I will be sharing some photos soon!

To complete my previous post on music in the garden: featuring lovely Maaike. 🎼
