Even so, letting go in front of a camera is… uncomfortable.
I’ve been where you are. The pressure to look perfect on camera can be crushing.
My modeling career taught me a thing or two about feeling awkward in front of a photographer.
My years of being on your side of the camera also gave me access to secrets used by the world’s top photographers and models.
When I traded in the glam squad for a camera of my own, I filed those supermodel secrets away.
Now, I get to share them with you. How’s that for good news?
I believe that perfection is boring, style is fluid, and authenticity is an art.
My goal is to make you forget there’s a camera around. I take photos of you in your natural rhythm. Unguarded moments make for photos that wow.

I fell in love with light in a makeshift darkroom in my childhood home in Holland. I’d make prints with my dad for hours, awestruck by how the image seemed to appear from nothing. It sparked a life of chasing art and imagery.
I moved to the US with a suitcase and $25, married the love of my life, and began a career as an international model with Elite New York.
During my time as a model, I lived in countless cities, including NYC, Miami, and Orlando. I worked on-location in at least 35 states and around the world in France, Germany, Holland, Spain, Italy, Switzerland, and more tropical islands than I know the names of.
I traveled constantly, working with some of the world’s most renowned models and photographers.
I closed that chapter of my life when I had my beautiful daughters, but the spark never dimmed.
Now I’m on the other side of the camera.
The lessons I learned during this exciting season of my life are the secrets I use to make anyone at ease in front of the camera.
