A search for the power of women
What actually is the power of women?
With all her softness and tenderness, her creativity, her round shapes and sensuality, her love,...
Will the power of women conquer the world or could feminine powers bring more balance to daily life?
My search for women who want to share their story with me has started...
How it started...
My search for what a power woman actually is started with myself.
At the beginning of 2021, I was asked to speak on International Women's Day as a power woman, about everything I had achieved up to that point.
With the thoughts behind it that it is instructive where I came from (no longer being able to participate in society due to a fixed burnout), how I have now worked my way up to the woman I am now, with my own business, who is can participate in society in her own way and level and who has now managed to build a strong network around herself again...
However, when I was asked, I was at a point in my life where despair was nigh... The second lockdown had been in force for months and I felt anything but in my strength at that moment.
I did start the preliminary discussions, but I dropped out here. If I were to participate in a power talk, I would want to be fully in my power!
This got me thinking...
When am I actually in my power? What exactly is my strength?
Because the powerful choices I made during a difficult period in my life are extremely brave, of course, but that didn't mean I was there yet...
I was still discovering and building up my strengths, and did/do this, among other things, through my own company.
Almost a year later, I dare to say YES! I stand in my strength! I know what I want and know my worth and where I want to go.
Empowering people through my photography.
My strength is living from love. Being able to go for something with passion. Giving everything and then being completely exhausted and at the same time full of love, wonder and joy. My strength is positivity, creative power, being able to see the beauty of the smallest things. My strength is using my senses, my strength is sensuality. My strength is softness and mildness and my round soft shapes. My strength is my gray/blue eyes that change color according to my mood. My passionate side also includes a bit of a fierce temperament, which is only a small part of me as long as my inner peace is cherished.
I find my strength in seeking my inner peace. By consciously being 'in the moment', I find that inner peace.

Sometimes a project stops at a certain point...
Are women in our own Spijkenisse so modest?
Or did I achieve what I was supposed to achieve with the project?
Or did I achieve what I was supposed to achieve with the project?
Since completing my photography training, I have put this project on hold.
I came to the conclusion that the gap between what I could do when I started and now that I am a professional photographer is very large.
Too big to bridge in terms of photography.
My reason for saying "It's been nice, time for a new project"
I didn't quite know where I wanted to go with this project, but I notice that I have a desire for more social projects. There is more room for this in our municipality to exhibit in various places!
I learned from Power Women in Image that every woman has her own insecurities as well as her strengths.
Where I used to like to avoid women, I now like to seek them out and really enjoy working with women,
also in front of my camera.
Beautiful self-confident people full of soft beauty that only women can have.
Men have their own beauty, often a bit tougher and a bit rawer. Also beautiful! And very masculine.
The project no longer saw any new ladies who joined these power women,
but I certainly won't stop photographing women.
On the contrary!
Would you also like a powerful and feminine portrait of yourself?
Then I am ready for you!
