about me
I’m a colorful photographer in Amsterdam.
My name is Nadine and I live with my partner, Stefan, our daughter Mia and our two cats: Buffy and Fluffy in a terraced house overlooking a park. On warm days, we swim in the nearby lake (not the cats, for obvious reasons). In the winter we spend our evenings on the couch, catching up on movies. If we’re not at home, were lazing about a campsite somewhere in Europe (or a nearby playground)
Snacks, Cats, and Weekend Maps
🌲 Camping Connoisseur – Pro at pitching tents, starting fires (the legal kind), and identifying which berries not to eat.
📺 Netflix Binger – Professional “just one more episode” champion.
🍕 Food Lover – Will travel for snacks. Actually, will just snack. No travel required.
🚗 Weekend Tripper – Master of spontaneous getaways. If it’s within a tank of petrol, I’m there.
📜 History Buff – I like my stories old, dramatic, and full of questionable decisions.
👶 Toddler Devotee – Current hobbies include chasing, cleaning up after, and marveling at the chaos caused by one tiny human.
🐱 Cat Whisperer in Training – I’m on a mission to convince my cats that my lap is the place to be. Progress is... slow.
I believe that every single person is photogenic. Bringing that out in their photos is what gives me the most joy in photography.
I’ve always had a desire to make people feel good about themselves,
especially if they feel insecure and shy, which is how I felt most of my life. I was (and still am) an introvert and spent most of my angsty teenage years daydreaming about being the next vampire slayer or happily married to Dean Winchester from Supernatural (I still dream about marrying Dean Winchester).
Even though I’m an introvert,
I can totally bring the fun when I need to! I really enjoy doing this while I'm shooting, but always keeping a mind that I need to sprint home and get under a blanket with my cats afterwards.
If you feel that you might not be good enough, or pretty enough, or thin enough,
I hope that some of the photos here on my website inspire you to do a photoshoot. I want to show you that it's O.K. to be your truest, most authentic self and to be proud of who you are. You are good enough to have an amazing photoshoot, regardless of experience or awkwardness.
