I’m a portrait photographer and a life long animal lover.

I find beauty in everyone and almost anything and help my clients see and experience that magic too.

My positive, calm and gentle demeanor uniquely suits subjects who do not immediately feel at ease in front of the camera; be it human or animal. I patiently help my clients find their comfort zone and direct with clear instructions to capture each person’s unique personality. You’ll see, we’ll breeze through the session and together we can create beautiful images.

I live near Portland, Oregon and was born and raised in The Netherlands. My work is driven by simplicity and minimalism resulting in timeless works of art.

Hi, I’m Pauline

The Studio

We take photos as a return ticket to a moment otherwise gone

Make it stand out

It all begins with an idea. Maybe you want to capture the beauty of your child before everything changes, celebrate the special bond with your dog or document the majesty of your horse.

Maybe you want to launch a business or turn a hobby into something more. Then you’d want a great photo of yourself in which you look beautiful, natural and confident to share with the world that you’re ready for the next step.

Whatever it is, it’s important that it’s done right.

Now you need to find the right person you’ll connect with, who will set it all up, prep you and create a great experience to bring your idea to life.

If my images speak to you: reach out and I’ll be happy to talk with you.

Photo sessions are tailored to each client for a personalized and unique experience.

The process

1. Begin with the end in mind.

You know you want beautiful images but not sure how to go about it. No problem. In our discovery call, we’ll go over everything and discuss the different options available to you. During our pre-session talk, we discuss your vision and decorating style as well as how and where you’d like to display your new portraits.

2. The discovery call

We connect via phone, Zoom or in person. I’d like to hear your story, your motivation, vision for the photo shoot and what makes your bond so special. Understanding the dynamics allows me to capture the beauty and personality so you end up with beautiful images to display in your home. Also, all your questions will be answered, plus you’ll have a full understanding of the cost.

3. The shoot

Everything is geared to make this a great experience for everyone. My subjects do not always cooperate, but there is nothing to worry about. I’ve been a photographer for 15 years and have encountered all kinds of personalities and mastered all sorts of challenges. I am blessed with the patience of an angel, so there is no need to get frustrated when things don’t go as easy as you’d wish. I’m never in a hurry and continue to photograph until I am certain to have a good amount of beautiful images.

4. The viewing and ordering session

A viewing/ordering session date will be arranged at your convenience, but no later than 3 weeks after the photoshoot. We’ll review the best images we’ve created and you can make your choice and place your order. I will guide you every step of the way using your goals to achieve your vision for your portraits.

5. Delivery

Your order will be ready about 4-5 weeks after it was placed.

Gift Cards available
