Hi!
I am Maaike Manshanden, professional photographer for 7 years now and mum of Nyla (10Y) & Kyanu (7Y). Together we live in Alkmaar. Close to the city centre, where my photography studio is also located. Besides being a mum, I am also an entrepreneur, photographer, wife and most of all myself!
I enjoy the smallest and grandest things and most of all I love to capture the beauty of people and life!
Once I have you in front of my lens, I create the space to let you BE.
From this come the most pure, raw and emotional images.
In these, I add an artistic touch and edit the images in a light, natural and timeless (mostly b/w) way.
You will receive your images, full of pride and gratitude, and who knows, generations afterwards. I mean, how valuable is that!
And that is exactly why I love my work so much!
