This is me.

Don’t try to sum me up in one sentence — I don’t like to fit in a box. Mother of three. Socially minded, socio educated. Highly interested in the beauty of nature and life, with an eye for serendipity and a good story. Always curious, in love with the mountains, seeking variety, open to the world. I find energy and creativity in close encounters.

Special thanks to Sven, who’s always saying YES to my plans and ideas — even when I’m still in doubt. And to my incredible children Aldo, Remi and Ada: thank you for challenging me, for teaching me and for making me laugh every day.

Being a true people lover, it breaks my heart to see so much human suffering in the world. Each year I donate 10% of the profits from print sales to charity.

Alongside photography, I host MONTI — a light, welcoming space in Gentbrugge near the Gentbrugse Meersen. It's where people gather: to meet, to learn, to exhibit, to say goodbye, to share a meal. You're warmly welcome. More at www.monti.gent.
