Born and raised in the picturesque Netherlands, I discovered my passion for photography while traveling around the globe, camera in hand. Along the way, I found more than just stunning landscapes—I found my soulmate, Robert.  In 2016, I packed up my life and traded windmills for palm trees, moving to sunny South Florida to start our adventure together.

Fast forward to today, we’re the proud parents of two little rays of sunshine, Zach and Abby. When we’re not busy creating memories behind the lens or chasing after the kiddos, you can find us on our boat soaking up the Florida sunshine, trying out new restaurants, strolling through the park, or hitting the open road for our next family adventure.

With a background in Cruise Operations Management and Real Estate Photography, I eventually found my true calling in wedding photography. There’s nothing quite like capturing the raw emotion, joy, and love of a wedding day—it’s what makes me truly light up. After photographing around 100 weddings, I’m still as excited as ever to help you create memories that will last a lifetime.
