Capture What You Love

A Personal Update!

This is something I’ve been meaning to share for a while.
After 20 years of Capture What You Love, 10 years in the Netherlands and 10 years here, I’ve decided it’s time to close this chapter.
This business has been such a big part of my life. I’ve met incredible people, been part of so many special moments, and captured memories that I will always carry with me.
I especially want to thank my Brookside Club friends. You were there for me right from the very beginning when I started here in the U.S., and the trust you gave me meant more than I can really put into words. You played a huge part in building this journey.
Over time, things have slowly changed for me. With some health challenges, and also just a feeling that it wasn’t quite right for me anymore, I realized I couldn’t keep doing it the same way.
Letting go of something you love is not easy, but I do feel that it’s time to make space and explore what’s next. I don’t fully know what that looks like yet, but I do feel excited about what’s ahead.
I’m very open to new opportunities. I bring experience from my early career before photography, combined with 20 years of entrepreneurship, along with everything I’ve learned over the years. So if something comes to mind, I would really appreciate you thinking of me.
And most of all, thank you. Whether I photographed you, worked with you, or you simply supported me along the way, it has meant more to me than I can really put into words.
Also, my email address [email protected] will be closing in a few weeks. You can reach me at [email protected].

THE POWER OF A GOOD HEADSHOT!

Your headshot is often the first impression you make, and it speaks volumes about your professionalism, personality, and attention to detail. That's why we aimed to create a professional, genuine, and engaging portrait in this session, ensuring every detail was right.

From well-chosen outfits to polished hair and makeup, we made sure to capture the best version of ourselves. When everything aligns—from wardrobe to expression—it's more than just a photo; it's a statement.

Why is a good headshot so important?
Professionalism: It shows you're serious and put effort into how you present yourself.
Personal Branding: A consistent look that matches your personal style adds credibility and connection.
Confidence: Feeling good in front of the camera translates into how others perceive you.
Trustworthiness: A genuine, warm smile or expression helps create a connection before any words are exchanged.

Ready for an upgrade? Whether you're revamping your LinkedIn, updating your website, or just looking for that confidence boost, investing in a quality headshot is the way to go. DM me today to schedule your session or ask any questions about preparing for the perfect shot. You deserve to look your best!

Are you tired of dull and boring headshots? Let me help you create headshots that showcase your unique personality!

I’ve got some tips to make your headshots stand out and capture the real you. First, bring along some props or accessories that reflect your interests or profession. This will add some of your personality to your photos and make them more interesting.

I’ll use my new eyelighter to create the most flattering light so that you look stunning in your photos. Trust me, you’ll be amazed by how good you can look with proper lighting!

Don’t worry about feeling uncomfortable or stiff during the shoot. Just relax and be yourself, and I’ll guide you through posing for the best shots. You can even bring your playlist, and we can play some of your favorite tunes.

Let’s create some engaging shots that show off the best version of you! With my fun and creative studio, we can capture photos that are uniquely you.

A little editing can enhance your headshots and make them look even better. I’ll make sure to edit your photos responsibly and keep your look natural.

If you’re ready to take the next step and book your headshot session, this is your sign to go for it! Let’s create some fantastic headshots together!
