Utrecht Canal Pride Parade 2026 🌈📸

Another beautiful, lively Pride in Utrecht! I was lucky my partner was able to watch the parade from the beginning to the end this year, so I put my camera down for most of it and enjoyed the company.

Thanks for smiling at my camera, you gorgeous people!!

🌈

What a pleasure to capture the final month of E + A's first pregnancy - they were absolutely glowing with the morning golden hour and, despite this being their first time in front of the camera, they really came alive and were so natural with a few loving prompts. 🩵🥹

I love hearing how people meet. This is one question I will always ask my couples! 📸🫶🏻

❤️

The colors and textures of gorgeous Slovenia will be etched in my brain forever. 💚🩵💙

Solo travel, nature, slowing down and exploring like a child - I highly encourage all of the above.

Another wonderful family session with E+Z and their girls. The last time I shot with them was 2 years ago and they've added another feisty lady to their clan!

I'll always let your kids be themselves. The best photos are when they feel comfortable enough with me to relax and have a little fun. 🥹🩷

A sweet family session for these cuties visiting from the US 🩷 We had the perfect weather and enjoyed a little exploring with the littles 📸

"By existing you are planting softness in soil that has turned hard. There is no need to surrender your existence. You are doing just fine by existing at all." - Pillow Thoughts, Courtney Peppernell

I'm constantly inspired by the light, the seasons, the flowers and the trees. The way the shadows seep down. The way the shapes are shown in the light.

More of this in 2026! 💚🌳

"But I am so deeply lost in my own soul, how can I expect anyone else to understand me?" - Pillow Thoughts, Courtney Peppernell 🌻

I had an idea for nature portraits in some pretty unassuming areas near my house, so I asked the lovely to model for me. She seemed right at home among the golden hour sunlight and blooming flowers (like I knew she would), and it's amazing what the right angle and light can do for locations you wouldn't think would work so well. 📸

More to come 🌼

Throwback to this gorgeous autumn engagement with two of the most photogenic, lovestruck people I've ever photographed. 🥹💖

I really felt so blessed to be a part of their moment and wish nothing but the best to them both! What an honour to do what I do with the full trust of my clients.

This was a 1-hour session and we really did see so much in the time!

💍

More sun-peeking, moss-stepping, bird-chirping forest photoshoots in 2026, please! 💚🧡💛

We're already off to a good start 📸🌲
