About me
I am a photographer with a passion for capturing the genuine connections between children and families. What inspires me most is the authenticity that children bring to a shoot: the small, fleeting moments where something truly real happens.
I connect easily with kids of all ages and communicate fluently in Dutch, French, and English. My style is eclectic, dynamic, fun and honest. While I work digitally, my approach is as close to analog as possible: I aim to capture the authenticity of the moment and the natural play of light, both on location and in the studio. Post-production is minimal, usually limited to enhancing atmosphere through color and contrast, because I believe the essence is already there.
Whether working with studio lights or natural surroundings, I adapt quickly to unexpected situations and find creative solutions with very little. All I need is the trust of my clients, and together we create images that are sincere, vivid, and full of life.
