Goddess Photography

Goddess Photography Photographer based in the Netherlands, but travelling the world to capture the sacredness of women. Of women's work, circles, retreats and festivals.

But also one on one in a private session. Capturing both beauty and rawness is where my heart truly lies.

In a few weeks I will be showing this photograph at a small one day exhibition (not open to the public, sorry) so I just ordered a special larger print of this image.

Honestly, I think there's something about printing images in a larger format. Like, it's a good photo on a screen, but printed in a larger format (it will be 90 by 60 cm) it makes so much more impact.

Can't wait to unbox it when she comes in, which I suspect will be somewhere next week. Do you want me to share the unboxing?

This photo is part of my WITCH book by the way, in case you didn't know. It is in the chapter that comes after the witch, the free woman who is hunted and punished for just being free gets a new chance in the here and now. It's the reclaiming of our right to be free. And witches in so many ways.

And, because I haven't shared this yet but today is as good a day as any, I will be creating a new version of the book. I'm currently in the process of recreating the entire thing and she will be coming back even more strongly in this version, I'm sure!

When we get together with the tribe and everyone wears red, it does something with my photographs.

For between all the seriousness and the laughter, the rituals and the sisterhood, the way all those women in red look is just absolutely amazing. It's something else. And while I'm running around with my camera, it grabs me every single time.

What do you think about what it looks like when everyone is in red?

These last couple of weeks have been challenging in many ways. I have been sick and recovering while also trying to uphold myself in many ways.

It is a path in which I am very slowly finding my footing again.

I’m trying to work on the backlog of things but my brain feels very much fried so please remind me a couple of times if you need something. It’s not that I want to forget, the brain is simply not braining.

And I want some nice weather too please. That would be helpful for the pain in my body…

Ten years ago to the date I really stepped onto the path of sisterhood. I had dabbled my toes in it for years, but ten years ago Margo Awanata gave me that final full push by gifting me a course. And I dove. I plunged off the deep end.

In those ten years I have walked my own path but I was never actually alone. There was always a sister beside me. Always a hand on my back. A shoulder to lean on and someone to lay with me when I was on the floor. And trust me, there was a lot to be on the floor about, but I never had to truly do it all by myself.

And there were the times I was absolutely celebrated too. It wasn't just the bad times when I was seen, it was the good times too. The many ways I have felt seen over the last couple of years is what I would wish anyone to experience.

Does that mean that the last ten years have been easy? No. Quite the opposite actually. But they have absolutely been easier with an open hand beside me. With someone to hear me out. With an ear, a shoulder and a hug. With a helping hand when I asked for it.

It also came with responsibility though. It came with actually asking for what I needed. And even when I wasn't heard in the first place, actually talking about it. Confronting old pieces in myself and working with engrained old beliefs. Sitting in the dark and sometimes not being able to get up again.

The road is long and windy and I'm not saying I have it all figured out. Honestly I don't think any of us really do at any point. But I know that in a world where I actually ask for help, I know there's a sister that will step in and walk a few steps beside me. And that, ten years in, is something I wish I could say to my younger self.

The little girl that would have never believed where she would be years later from all that time she was bullied. From all those moments she had to work through all alone. And that her path has changed. Because I am holding that little girls hand now... I'm her shoulder to cry on because I have someone that holds me through that.

And in that knowledge, I am so proud of every step I have taken over the last ten years and I will keep walking this winding road as I love to see where she takes me next...

Currently I'm following a couple of classes on art and right now there's a big chunk that is about the use of colour in your art. I immediately thought about what colour would be most recognisable in my art and I didn't have to think about it long... It's simple. It's red.

Now that happens to be the colour of my hair, but it is also the colour that is most worn by priestesses in the tribe of women that I belong to. Red is our colour. Our sacred wild colour. And I truly love it when we're all wearing our red dresses, skirts and pants, because there's something magical about all those shades of red coming together.

Don't you agree?

At the moment I'm working on learning a whole bunch of new skills while also trying to keep it all together. It's all part of the plan I'm working on and I'm not ready to share all about it yet, but will you please hold me while I'm doing this?

It is either going to be totally epic or a total flop. And only time will tell!

Today I was reminded again about the why when I started my photography adventure that is Goddess Photography.

I don't remember the exact moment when I moved from my standard work as a portrait, festival and wedding photographer to what I have moved into: A photographer working with almost exclusively women (even though I truly believe many men could benefit from the way I work, I just don't advertise with that really). But I remember the shift.

So here's the lowdown about the big WHY. Earlier today I was scrolling through some old photo's of myself and I saw how very slowly along that period of time I allowed myself to shine. To let go. To no longer listen to the imprinted voices and actually believe (even if just for a moment) that I was worth it.

Because when I was younger, I was bullied. A lot. And I was told I wasn't good enough. Too small, too big, too quiet, too much, too little. It was never enough. And for the longest of time I believed those voices. But looking back through those old pictures I saw the shift.

Maybe it was in working with women like Wild and Sacred Women - Margo Awanata that I was able to see more of myself. Maybe it was in the letting go of old patterns. Maybe it was in the friendships that I developed in that period of time and maybe it was slowly letting go of all of those ingrained trains of thought. But probably it was all of the above and more.

And I realised that I want other women to have that experience. To see themselves in the light that I saw myself. And to have that experience captured and solidified in photographs so they can always tap back into those moments, especially in those times when they are needed the most.

That's why I'm currently working on a new offering. On an experience rather than just a photoshoot. And I was wondering, in order for you to have it feel like an experience, what would you need? Let me know.

[Added photo's of Merel who helped me run a test shoot for the basic plans for this kind of experience]

Another late night behind my computer and I just had another happy recipient of my work.

There's still so much to work on, but I'm really making quick progress in these hours!

Next up: Finishing two weddings!

When the world has turned quiet and the kid has gone to sleep, I love working on photographs. Some of them are done in no time, some of them require some more of my time and attention, but by the time I'm finished with a photograph there's always that little bit of dopamine.

In the quiet of the late evening (and sometimes in the night, even though lately that hasn't happened much as with the kid being home for the holidays I'm spent by the evening...) I usually get to do some of my best work. There's very little distractions left and I can enjoy that moment of hyperfocus. That little bit of total concentration. And it works.

This is my favourite time of day to spend on my work. Truly. And maybe it's my undiagnosed ADHD, maybe it's something else, but the magic of the late evening and night just gives me that little bit extra to add to photographs I think...

Do you have favourite moments in a day?

After checking my calendar I realised I have one more free Saturday evening this month and I think it would be lovely to allow you to work with me one on one. Now in order to keep it affordable for as many people as I can, this will be an evening of mini sessions.

So... The photoshoot slots are going to be thirty minutes each and there's very limited availability. Especially if you want that special golden hour light, you're going to have to book it quickly!

The mini shoots will be held in a beautiful location just outside of Apeldoorn with different backgrounds in close surroundings and plenty of options for a diverse range of photos within the timeframe of half an hour. This location is impossible to reach with public transport so you'll need a car (or someone to drive you there).

Furthermore I will bring a handful of my client closet dresses that you can use for 'extra drama' (like the one pictured in the photo that's attached) but you can also wear your own clothes of course.

What you will get is thirty minutes of my undivided photography attention. Yes, that means we will laugh, dance, giggle and roll around in the sand, and trust me, those will be the best of photos. Afterwards I will send you a link with the option to choose three of your favourite images which you will receive digitally in high quality. In case you want to order more photos, that's also possible for an extra surcharge.

And of course now you are wondering what it will cost you to roll around in the sand, right? The price for this minishoot, including three images in high resolution will be €85.

So are you ready for fun, laughter and some beautiful photographs of you? Don't hesitate to quickly book your slot!
