It was so lovely to do some free work. Capturing plants together with Esther, who is also a super talented photographer. We decided to go to the Old Hortus. Witch is a unique University garden and greenhouse build in 1907. If you visit Utrecht don't forget about this little green yam.

A few weeks ago I decided that it would be nice to do a completely different shoot than what I'm used to. Something that would trigger my creativity on a new level. As I planned a trip to Marrakech I loved doing something with the Moroccan culture and style. So I asked my dear friend Bahareh if she would be up for a fine art shoot. She immediately sad yes and two weeks later we shot this amazing inspirational shoot.
Thanks Netanya Luschen for the beautiful make up. Neckless from Sanne Hakkaart.

The first of Januari 2015, me and my hubby decided to just jump in the car and drive to Paris. This gorgeous city stole my heart. We cycled trough little streets, saw all the big attractions and enjoyed little restaurants where we could stay forever. Some city's are just that special that you have the feeling you could live their. And Paris is definitely one of them. The friendly people, gorgeous buildings, city vibe and beautiful parks. Two days of cycling and simply enjoying each others company. Will be visiting you again Paris.

The past three weeks I enjoyed a lovely holiday in Cuba. It is an amazing country with beautiful cities and such friendly people! While I was leying on my beach bed at Maria La Gorda, I saw Candice walking on the beach, I immediately thought what if I could photograph her? She looks amazing! And before I know it, I'm walking towards her and asked her if she would be interested in a photo shoot. She is so excited about it and loves to de a shoot, after talking a bit we are all ready to start the shoot. It was so much fun! Thanks Candice Xx.

Even though I’ve been to Italy a few times already, this was by far the most memorable experience of them all. The wondrous country with its striking architecture, delicious wine, and friendly locals makes it hard not to fall in love with the South European gem, over and over again. Walking along the cobblestone streets you are soon overtaken by the beauty of historic buildings, rich culture and true Italian flair, and when stepping outside the ancient city streets and into the the green countryside, surrounded by vineyards and olive groves, it is clear why Italy is such a popular travel destination.
We embraced the authentic Italian style and decided to explore the country in a cute little Fiat 500, and what a blast we had! We made use of Air B&B and stayed with a wonderful family in Florence, which were so helpful in planning our day trips. In gorgeous Valdirose just a few minutes drive away, I met up with talented photographer, Nadia Meli, for a glass of wine and good chat. It was great to share some stories with a fellow traveler and industry acquaintance in a such a beautiful spot.
In the famous Chianti wine area we stayed in Hotel Radda and enjoyed a fantastic wine tasting at Castellp D’albola winery. We also visited the picturesque Monteriggioni comune, famous for its Renaissance influenced architecture and enclosed walls. One of the highlights of our trip was staying with an old lady on their family farm. She treated us to a true al fresco dinner with the Tuscan sunset setting the mood for a delightful evening. This gave us a glimpse into the real Italian lifestyle.
Even though it might sound like we visited Italy just for leisure, the main reason for our stay was to photograph a gorgeous wedding in Montecatini Therme. This is indeed a luxurious town, centred around its natural spa, perfect for a relaxing wedding weekend. It was such a pleasure to capture the charming couple and their loved ones against the breathtaking Italian landscapes, and it certainly didn’t feel like work.
