A Good Year

3 min read
Wow, it has been so long since I've posted here! I just didn't have any time to even visit DeviantART, but I hope that'll change during the coming months. A lot has changed, I no longer work at an office but started pursuing my dreams and became a successful wedding photographer. And... it's great!!
But! I still would like to paint more, cause making a living from painting is even a bigger dream. So I started a little project, writing and illustrating a book for my daughter Mare. The progress can be followed on Facebook: www.facebook.com/prentenboek

Life's been good to me and it's only getting better. Some of the keywords of this year are:

- Weddings!
- Photography fun
- Two rascals
- A bit more sleep at night...
- Bangkok trip
- Princess Mare project

Love to you all, hope you're all doing well!

My daughter Evi

1 min read

I'm sorry I haven't been very active on DA recently and I probably won't be for a while. Last week on December 8th I gave birth to my second daughter: Evi.

She's a really sweet and content little girl and I'm totally in love!



I hope I'll be able to get back in action soon.

Heya everyone! I hope everyone is doing alright :aww:

I'm almost 32 weeks pregnant now, so the countdown has started. I'm not having the easiest pregnancy, but I'll get to the finish line eventually!

I've been pretty busy these days starting up my own photo studio together with my partner. It's a lot of fun, but hard work (especially in the state I'm in). Anyone who's on Facebook would do me a great pleasure by liking my studio's page: www.facebook.com/pages/Fotostu…
I'd really really appreciate it!

Last but not least, for all the Dutch readers: an interview with little old me can be found in this month's Photoshop Creative magazine, check it out in store!

Take care everyone :hug:

Today one of my dreams came true, I got an e-mail from Ballistic Publishing saying my work got selected for Exotique 7. It's such an honor to have my work featured with the works of all those amazing artists out there. I'm a bit speechless...

The work they'll publish is Collector of Souvenirs...



I'd like to thank all the people who gave me some great feedback :hug:
