HELLO, I AM SASKIA
01
Beauty in the everyday
I have always been interested in other places, other cultures and other people. I studied Cultural Anthropology. Followed by a master in Documentary Filmmaking, so that I can tell peoples stories in a visual way.
Photos and films are the keepers of memories. I know first hand how important pictures are. When my dad died I was four years old. Those photographs of us together are my actual memories and I cherish them up until this day. You can read more about why I started my business here.



THIS IS YOU
You really cherish your children's photographs, but you don't have many pictures of yourself with the kids or as a family together.
You don't like posing, as you feel this will be awkward and make you and the whole family feel uncomfortable. You want the photoshoot to be a relaxed and fun experience.
You believe that there is beauty in the ordinary moments. When you see your pictures you want to look at real memories and adventures.
You are not interested in everyone looking perfect and pristine. What matters to you is what your family feels like. The connections, love, funny jokes, the emotions. You want the photos to show everyone's unique personality.

When I am not taking pictures or making films
My life sometimes feels pretty chaotic, but my aim is to see the beauty in all that it brings me. To accept myself and not mind how my body has changed after giving birth and as it gets older. I want to create meaningful relationships with the people around me and enjoy my time with the people I love.
Things that give me pleasure are: being at home in Bromley, London with a good book. Going on little outdoor adventures with my son to collect leaves and other treasures, or drinking hot chocolate with my friends. I also love to travel to The Netherlands to see my family and friends.
