It feels like yesterday the day Renate and Michiel came home to talk about their wedding! Now it is almost their big day!
It promises to be a beautiful special wedding, with a great location and a couple in love with each other!! Can I wait? đ
Renate & Michiel, once again thanks for the nice meeting and we see each other soon!

An absolutely beautiful day and a perfect one to get married! Willie & Jens were radiant, top to bottom!!
There was so much love throughout the day that it was contagious… one moment in the church I felt my heart so big it would’ve exploded! Family, friends, sunshine day! To end up, a great party at the Josef with – of course – the Volendammers Wensen, my favorite part of all may I say it (and not posted yet as I have so many good pics).
Willie & Jens, how amazing to see your love and to witness this great celebration! It was an honor! I wish you happiness and joy!
See you soon,
xoxoxo,

What to say about love… about two lovely people in love with each other? Difficult to express in words. So I will do it with photographs đ
Laura & Henk, and the whole family! I cannot thank you enough for sharing so much with us! For letting us register such precious moments of your lives! Many times I felt really emotional and looking once more to the photos those feelings come along – there are only appreciation and a deep desire you will have a happy life together! You guys rock!
We see each other soon!

After 46 years of an unconditional committed work  to his family business, Henk Kras has passed his baton to the next generation!
To celebrate it, an unforgettable evening party was prepared and done last Friday at the Kras Stadion in Volendam – a celebration with family, friends and co-workers. Many  thankful words, videos and a delightful buffet was served – not to forget the fantastic presentations by Volendams Operakoor, and Jan Smit to close the night!
The company possesses the expertise to manage companyâs waste streams more effectively, also been designed with sustainability in mind. Great values passed through generations. For more information, check out their website Kras-Recycling.
Mr Kras, a pleasure to see you again! A deep admiration to your character, to your family values and for what you have done for the city!
Dora, thanks again for the invitation and opportunity!
xoxoxo, Helen
Here and there people ask me and tell me about photographers who try to copy my style, and if I get bother with it.
Personally this fact really flatters me, as I find it nice someone is using my photos as a reference. So I take it as a big compliment and it gives me a huge smile on my face!
If you aim to be a professional photographer, of just like to make beautiful photos as a hobby, using photos as a reference will give you some inspiration or even orientation to what you are aiming for. I do it with my clients too â I show photos of other photographers, and they also show me what they are looking for. It is a great help to know their likes and dislikes, and to know if we are a real match!
However my advice will be to find your own style, once it will be your âtrue selfâ imprinted on the photos. Let’s remember that photography is a strong media of communication, and your photographs should also say something about yourself â rather than only coping what others are âcommunicatingâ.
If you really want to follow a photographer career, go deep and go to school!!! There is a world of information behind and inside the camera. Knowledge will make all difference between someone with just a good camera and someone capable to deliver good quality photographs. And believe me, clients look for your portfolio and all the courses you have done!
Some does and donâts:
Many kisses and much love to you all!
