New life & motherhood

While being pregnant of my second baby, I realize more and more how much I enjoy doing belly and newborn shoots. Growing new life and becoming a mother is so special and magical. It is also the biggest and most challenging transformation for a woman. And I love to give it the attention it deserves, to recognize it and capture the beauty of it. 

Due of my second baby beginning of May, I am now on maternity leave and will take the time to get to know my little baby. From August on, I will be ready to take new assignments and capture beautiful bellies, sweet little babies, naughty toddlers, blossoming teenagers and of course their exhausted, I mean caring, parents.

2017 Nikon NOOR Academy

In February this year I participated in the 2017 Nikon NOOR Academy in Amsterdam, a masterclass in visual storytelling. And it was amazing! I learned a lot from the great masters of NOOR, Pep Bonet, Sebastian Liste and Yuri Kozyrev. More than ever I want to take this further and fight hard to tell important stories. During the workshop, I was firmly interrogated about my autism project. The story was pulled apart and together we put it back together. Here is the result. Uncle Rob is the first story of a future series on autism.
