Meet Mariska in Ghent

Growing up in the Dutch countryside, I became an honest and down-to-earth person. Traveling the world, marrying my French partner, and embracing the romance of the French lifestyle shaped me into a unique mix, perfect for multicultural life in Belgium. As a portrait and love story photographer, I thrive on natural light and capturing those special moments. I specialize in those who embrace nostalgia and do things differently. Inspired by romanticism, I use dramatic lighting to evoke deep emotions in my subjects. Vintage music, clothing, records, and handwritten letters fuel my love for the past, influencing my work and editing style.
