Hi, I'm a 20 year old girl from the not so sunny Netherlands. You would probably recognize me with a camera in front of my eyes, taking photos of everything that she likes. Including my boyfriend, Tim. ♥

 27/365 - Capturing moments

 I have been thinking a lot, which way I want to go with this project. I think it might be a good idea to start taking analogue photos in this project as well. Although it's quite tricky I think.. I would love to know what you guys think. I would love to shoot more with my Zenit-11 again. It's definitely my favourite camera.

And today was a marvelous day! I got two packages! I finally got my print of Corinne Alexandra! I'm so happy and in love with it. She is one big inspiration for me and I feel so lucky that I had the chance to buy a print of hers.

+2 photos, my print from Corinne Alexandra and a super cheap ring from Ebay. I couldn't resist the cuteness! Too bad that it's way too small for my fingers.. I really have the weirdest vingers. :')

24/365 - Perfection the imperfection

This is kind of an experiment. I tried to capture my imperfections in a beautiful way. In my opinion my back/shoulders and my belly are my imperfections. I might have more, but these two are standing out and are making me insecure the most. I don't have a slim and feminine back with narrow shoulders. And it will stay this way, so I should embrace my body instead of hating it. Same for my belly, I always have had troubles with it, especially now because of my health problems. I have IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome) and I have trouble with eating food. My belly get swollen easily and it pretty much hurts every other day. It's also one of the places I always have felt insecure about because everyone wants a flat tummy right?

Anyway I made this because I want to change my mind. I want to get body positive. 

And I will warn you, I don't respect any creepy comments or creeps in general, I will block you!

20/365 - Beautiful Soul

Today I photographed my best friend, she is the loveliest person I know. She is so honest and truly stunning. Although she doesn't believe she is this gorgeous. Please tell her. 

+2 below, because she is beautiful and everybody should see her smile.

  365 update
I kind of have decided that I won't post every single photo here, every day. I think I will only post photos of the project that I think I should blog about or days where I have more photos to show or a bigger story to tell. It's just that it's too stressful for me to blog every day as well. I'm already behind with uploading all my photos, so it's just too much.. If you want to see all my photos please follow me at my flickr or my facebook page!

A quick update with two photos that I want to share.

Today I went shopping with a friend of mine so I didn't had much time to take any special photographs. And at this point I'm a bit disappointed with some photos. And I know I should let it go.. So this quote that I saw is pretty good for this situation and how I feel.

I didn't have enough energy left to edit and upload the photos yesterday.
I went thrifting with Tim and we visited a friend who has his own apartment right now with his girlfriend. Ugh, after seeing his place all finished, I can't wait till I get my own place with Tim.
So yesterday was a lazy day, I didn't feel like photographing anything special.

Today was a pretty good day, although I had a really bad mood. It's such a struggle to find a good place to photograph in Tim's house. The rooms are narrow, dark or there is simply too much stuff in it so that I can't put my tripod in it. I need to figure out what place is best to photograph and I should kick myself and go out more often. But now that Tim has work (yaaaay!), I have to do everything alone. And that shouldn't be a big problem, but I have to get used to it.

Sorry, another busy, boring day. I was at school today from 9.30 and I was home around 5 o'clock. So I made some photos at school. Yep, that's my school haha. They are in the middle of a move and today was the first day in the new building. It looked like one big construction site.


"John william Waterhouse - sorceress"

13/365
I was asked to photograph for a shoot with a theme for a school assignment. It was my first real photoshoot with styling and a model with people I had never met before. It was quite an experience and they were both so lovely! :)
About the photos, it's based on this painting. If I remember it correctly it's based on a women who is a sorceress and changes men into animals with magic. The first photo is the remake of the painting and the second one is the idea of taking the concept in the modern day life.

"Big adventures in a little world"

This idea didn't work out as I wanted it to. This project is starting to get really frustrating.. >__< Especially for a perfectionist like me.. I wish I could do it over or that we had some more light these days. Anyway I hope you guys like it.

Definition of the soul; the spirit or immaterial part of man, the seat of human personality, intellect, will, and emotions, regarded as an entity that survives the body after death.

The definition of the soul is something different for everybody, I think. I'm fascinated by it and that's why I wanted to make this. It's your soul that makes you, you. Not your body or your pretty face.


+1 below, same concept, different photo.

It was so foggy and I didn't really came up with an exact idea for today. So when Tim and I headed back to my home we stopped nearby a forest and I took some photos there. And we actually saw a real deer! Obviously with my 50 mm lens I couldn't really capture it, it was way too far away too see properly on a photo. (close-up unedited photo) So we got really lucky to see a wild deer, but I'm just unlucky that I didn't have the right lens haha.
Anyway I got inspired to do something with a deer involved the picture. And I had to think of Harry Potter and the whole patronus stuff. :) I'm pretty happy with the result although the original photo is just pretty crappy and it's more photoshop than anything else and I want to focus more on photography. Well, tomorrow is another day. :)

"Blowing the cold wind through you"

Today was uhm.. let me say.. quite an experience haha. I went to Tim's family and I had to take a picture somewhere nearby outside. I found this pretty awesome loacation with a stable with horses. Of course I wanted to see if there was a house nearby from who this area was, but the surroundings weren't locked or anything and there wasn't a house nearby. So Tim convinced me to go and make my photos here. And guess what? After a few minutes a car stopped and a man came out of the car who was pretty angry because I was taking pictures and he thought that I was doing something bad I guess? I tried to explain what I was doing and I apologized and out of nothing he went off. It was so weird and I got a bit scared haha. I'm not good with dealing with angry people. Anyway I guess it was worth it.

 When nature and wisdom comes together

A really busy and frustrating day. I'm at Tim's house so it was quite troubling to get some ideas of what I wanted to photograph today. I don't have all my stuff with me, so I found some things here that I love, like the mirror and that book that I found at the attic. Next time I should plan ahead. Also my tripod is falling apart so I didn't dare to take it with me. T__T Hopefully I will come up with better photos tomorrow because I'm not really glad with the results of today. I just practiced freelensing again. Tonight I will have sort of a family dinner, I hope it will be fun. See you tomorrow! <3

+2 extra photos from today. I'm the worst at making decisions.

“Happiness can be found in the darkest of times, if one only remembers to turn on the light.” - Albus Dumbledore

Today was a struggle to choose one photo and I ended up with these two. (Plus two outtakes) But I quite like the outcome to be honest. :)

  365 project and more
Hello people! As you might have noticed my blog is near death. And if you follow my facebook page you know that I started a new project: 365 days project. Also, that I have created a new flickr account. I will share some photos of my 365 with you as I'm on day three now:

1/365 - 365
2/365 - Cloud collector
3/365 - I deerly love photography

I think it's a fun, but challenging project. I have to figure out how I'm going to complete this at the days that I've planned something, for example, school. It's getting dark really early these days so it will be tricky. I really hope I can finish this and finish it proudly. It's going to be a learning experience. I hope the few readers that read my blog will follow me, it would mean a lot to me if you will! <3

Also, I kind of have a photography wishlist. Things that I'm going to search for, for photo shoots.
- smoke bombs (coloured)
- astrostar lamp
- vintage clothing, especially hats and other accessories.
- flowers
- blankets
- candles
- toys
- feathers
- models hahaha
and probably much more stuff. I also still need a new tripod, mine is falling apart. >__<

Anyway I hope I will see you guys on my facebook page or new flickr account! :)

Much love, xoxo

  52 weeks of instax: week 32 - 39

week 32: This week was not really special. We visited Tim's grandma who has a gorgeous garden. <3 And we some got ice cream when we were heading back home.
week 33: This week was pretty awesome, we had a weird but awesome friday night. We went to a concert from one of our friends with his band: PAUW.
week 34: Boring, boring, boring week. I can't even remember what I did. The only two positive things this week were that I got my Lush and H&M order. Oh and now I know, after this week I got broke! xD
week 35: FINALLY! Tim and I went to the cinema to see Brave! When I heard of the concept I really wanted to see the movie, but I always procrastinate.. XD I'm so glad that I saw the movie. And the best thing was that we had the whole cinema for ourself! :D

week 36: This week was pretty interesting. Tim and I lived on our own this week because his parents were on vacation. And on friday night we went to a concert and there seemed to be a festival in the town called "gogbot". Which seemed pretty awesome, just look at the picture. One big gigant pink blob next to the church, wtf.
week 37: My week began good, my little sister turned 14 years old! I made a nutella-oreo cake (I made a post about it) and in the middle of the week I got a throat infection, yay. I've seen and drunk lots and lots of tea with honey.
week 38: This week was my first Saturday that I had school. On the photo you can see the entrance of the school. They made 3 walls with all kinds of paper drawings from students, made with charcoal and/or chalk.
week 39: Excuse me for my bitchface! lol. We were just awake for 5 min. (I was in a hurry because I almost forgot to make a photo for this week and I had to go to school that day) I wanted to take a photo of us together because we were 5 years together that Thursday! And Tim got a new job this week! Double yay! And believe me, I was a lot happier than it shows on that photo! :D

Finally an update again, I know, I know.. I'm lazy. I should update this more often. I almost forgot to make a photo this week, oops. Well, I need to buy more film and I really need to finish this project! :) I hope you guys have a nice day. xo
