I photographed Elise's sister Mies a few times at her work and she told me she had a beautiful sister that she thought would rock it in front of my camera. She told her sister Elise about my work and in the beginning she didn't do anything with it. She was all by her self, why would she do a photoshoot if it was just for her? Well she thought about it some more and read the words again that are on my website:
"People often buy clothes that are 100, 200 euro and some of these clothes are anly worn once. Photographs last a lifetime, they bring a smile on your face even after 20 years from now, they hold memories. Invest in your future memories through photography".
It hit a core with her. The last 3 years of Elise her life had been pretty hard and she finally feels that those days are in the past. She said she wanted to give this shoot to herself as a present to herself, to see how far she has come. An ending of a dark period in her life and the beginning of a sparkling new one.
It was a bright and sunny day and we wanted to capture different parts of her personality during the shoot. We had so much fun and Elise is such a vibrant and beautiful woman that photographing her was a breeze. Her smile can lit up any room as it is always there, no fake smiles from this woman, loved that!
She emailed me that she shed a little tear after seeing the photos for the first time and also her family was emotional and touched on how beautiful and happy she looked. Reaction like this always make my day, this is why I am a photographer.
Elise thank you for making me a part of the first steps in your new bright and happy future.
I am in love with this shot!
Stunningly beautiful! You would think she is a model right? well she isn't, but might need to think about it ;)
She plays the "trekzak" and she was pretty good at it I must say.
Woohoo!
