Dear Luna,

I never imagined this day would come so soon. Eight and a half years with you will never feel like enough, but I know every one of them was a blessing.

I’ll never forget the day we met. We had chosen another puppy from the pictures, but when I arrived, you walked away from the others and came straight to me.

You chose me. And I will forever be grateful that you did.

You became our gentle giant, our teddy bear, our family. You taught me a kind of love I had never known before how to protect, nurture, worry, and love another being unconditionally.

You were there for so many chapters of our lives. You loved Leah, welcomed Senna, and filled our ordinary days with memories that today feel more precious than ever.

Now, you’re teaching me one final lesson: sometimes loving someone deeply also means having the courage to let them go.

As I told Leah, today you went to the stars. And whenever we look at the night sky, there will always be one star shining a little differently.

That one will be you, Luna. ✨

Thank you for choosing us. Thank you for every adventure, every cuddle, every ordinary day, and every beautiful memory.

Love like this doesn’t disappear. It simply changes form.

Go peacefully, my girl. You will always be part of us.

I love you. I love you. I love you. ♥️🐕‍🦺⭐️

A cerca de 30 minutos de Amsterdam, existe um lugar que parece ter saído de outra época. 🌸🏰

O Castelo de Keukenhof e seus jardins já seriam lindos por si só. Mas durante a temporada das dálias, tudo ganha ainda mais cor, textura e vida.

E enquanto você caminha por ali, começa a perceber quantos cantinhos existem para criar fotografias completamente diferentes: entre as flores, pelos caminhos, com o castelo ao fundo, na luz do fim da tarde…

E talvez seja justamente aí que a ideia muda.

Porque você não precisa estar comemorando alguma coisa para viver uma experiência assim.

Pode ser só você.
Vocês dois.
A sua família.
Uma barriga que cresce.
Ou simplesmente uma fase da sua vida que, daqui a alguns anos, você vai gostar de poder revisitar.

A temporada das dálias acontece por poucas semanas, e os ensaios já estão abertos.

🌸 Retratos • Casais • Famílias • Gestantes

Comente DÁLIAS e eu te envio as datas disponíveis para reservar o seu ensaio.

Talvez a fase que você vai sentir mais saudade daqui a alguns anos seja justamente aquela que hoje parece tão comum. 🌸

Não precisa existir aniversário, pedido de casamento, gravidez ou uma grande comemoração para que o momento que você está vivendo mereça ser registrado.

Porque a vida não avisa quando uma fase está prestes a mudar.

E talvez seja exatamente por isso que fotografar o agora tenha tanto valor: você não registra apenas como você estava, mas quem você era, quem estava ao seu lado e como aquela parte da sua história fazia você se sentir.

E durante algumas semanas, os jardins do Castelo de Keukenhof ganham ainda mais cor com a temporada das dálias — criando um cenário lindo para transformar o que você está vivendo hoje em memória.

🌸 Temporada das Dálias 2026
Retratos • Casais • Famílias • Gestantes

A agenda está aberta.

Comente DÁLIAS e eu te envio as datas disponíveis para reservar o seu ensaio.

Some journeys change you.
Some become part of your story.
And some deserve to be remembered exactly as they felt.

If you’re coming to Amsterdam for Pride, you’re already celebrating something beautiful. Love. Freedom. Being exactly who you are.

Long after the music fades and the streets become quiet again, these moments deserve more than a place in your camera roll.

They deserve photographs that bring you back to the laughter, the excitement, the way you looked at each other, and the feeling of walking through Amsterdam knowing you belonged.

My goal isn’t to make you pose.

It’s to capture your connection naturally, so that years from now you’ll remember not only how your trip looked, but how it felt.

✨ Amsterdam Pride sessions are now open.
Availability during Pride week is limited.

Send me a message and let’s create something you’ll treasure for a lifetime.

🏳️‍🌈 Everyone is welcome.
📍 Amsterdam, The Netherlands

Há alguns meses, eu tomei uma das decisões mais importantes da minha vida.

Deixei para trás uma carreira sólida para seguir aquilo que, durante muito tempo, parecia apenas um sonho.

E sabe o que descobri?

Que a vida responde quando nós respondemos primeiro.

Desde então, tenho trabalhado menos horas, com mais presença, mais propósito e muito mais liberdade. Conheci pessoas incríveis, vivi experiências que antes pareciam impossíveis e, pela primeira vez, senti que a minha vida começou a refletir quem eu realmente sou.

Mas isso nunca foi apenas sobre fotografia.

A fotografia foi o veículo. A verdadeira transformação aconteceu dentro de mim.

Foi quando mudei a forma como enxergava o mundo, deixei de viver guiada pelo medo e comecei a fazer escolhas alinhadas com quem eu queria me tornar.

Hoje, tenho a honra de acompanhar outras pessoas nesse mesmo processo.

Não para lhes dizer qual caminho seguir, mas para ajudá-las a enxergar aquilo que sempre esteve diante delas.

Porque, quando você muda a forma como percebe a realidade, a própria realidade começa a responder de maneira diferente.

Talvez você tenha chegado até este post por um motivo.

E talvez a vida esteja apenas esperando pela decisão que, um dia, você inevitavelmente vai tomar.

Quando esse momento chegar, saiba que você não precisa caminhar sozinho(a). Eu posso te ajudar ✨

Some seasons leave more than beautiful photographs behind.

Over the past few days, I’ve watched people walk into this sunflower field for completely different reasons.

To celebrate a pregnancy.
To celebrate love.
To celebrate a personal milestone.
Or simply because something inside them whispered, “Don’t let this moment pass.”

What they all had in common was this:

They didn’t come because of the flowers.

They came to preserve a chapter of their lives.

Years from now, these photographs won’t remind them how the sunflowers looked.

They’ll remind them who they were.
How they felt.
And the version of themselves that existed only in that fleeting moment.

The sunflowers are now at their peak, and if nature follows its own rhythm, they may only stay this beautiful until next Sunday.

Maybe a little longer.
Maybe not.

That’s the magic of seasons…
They never wait for us.

If you’ve been thinking about creating your own memories here, this might be your moment.

🌻 Sunflower Sessions 2026
📍 Vijfhuizen, near Amsterdam

Send me a message for the remaining available dates.

09/07/2026

Close your eyes for a moment.

Picture yourself arriving among the sunflowers and seeing that golden colour all around you. At first, you notice the height, the light and the flowers stretching into the distance. Then, little by little, you stop thinking about the camera.

That is when the most beautiful photographs begin.

Perhaps it will be just you, celebrating the woman you are becoming. Perhaps it will be the two of you, laughing together without anyone asking you to pose. Maybe it will be your child discovering the flowers, your whole family in one frame, or even the four-legged member who is part of every chapter.

The session adapts to your story, not the other way around. You only need to arrive and live the moment. I will gently guide everything else.

And years from now, these photographs will become your way back to the warmth, the laughter and the people who were beside you during this brief season.

The sunflowers bloom for only a short time, and availability is limited.

Comment SUNFLOWER to receive the available dates and reserve your photoshoot among the sunflowers. 🌻

Family photos are not only about today.

They are about preserving the way your child still reaches for your hand. The way everyone fits together in this chapter. The expressions, gestures and connections that feel ordinary now, but will one day mean everything.

A family session is not about forcing perfection. It is about creating space for you to be together while I gently guide you and photograph what naturally unfolds.

Because time moves quickly. And although a photograph cannot stop it, it can bring you back to the way this season felt.

When you are ready to preserve this chapter of your family’s story, send me the word FAMILY by DM, and I will help you choose the setting and experience that suit your family best. 🤍

Some moments do not wait for us.

In the final days of July, the sunflowers begin to bloom in the Netherlands and, for a brief period, everything changes: the landscape, the light, and the feeling of being surrounded by flowers that seem to go on forever. 🌻

And perhaps, as you look through these photographs, you can already imagine your own story unfolding among the sunflowers.

It could be you celebrating a new chapter.
The two of you.
Your children discovering every flower.
A growing baby bump.
A day with friends.
Or that four-legged member of the family who also deserves to be part of your memories.

There is no single way to experience it. There is only the story you want to preserve now, before this chapter passes too.

The flowers remain at their best for only a few days, and the sessions depend on the exact moment when the sunflowers are open and looking their most beautiful. That is why the dates have not yet been released, and those on the priority list will receive the details first.

Comment SUNFLOWER, and when the dates open, you will be among the first to know. 🌻
