Special Diary | Miss World Nederland bridal & kimono shoot

13/04/2021 | Reageer

Currently, I am in the Miss World Netherlands journey for 9 months already, and I also enjoy creating online diaries about the journey after a certain amount of time within it. Last October I went to Selsela (Weddingwear Selsela) in Haarlem for a fitting appointment for a wedding dress. A cool bridal shoot was planned, but it took place a few weeks ago (while respecting the corona regulations), because we went into lockdown for months back in October. I took a nice photo with my phone of the beautiful dress during the fitting appointment, which we started shooting months later. Side note – I always bring my camera with me to take pics behind the scenes.
Inmiddels zit ik al 9 maanden in het Miss World Nederland traject, en vind ik het ook leuk hier online dagboekjes van te maken om de x aantal tijd van het traject. Afgelopen Oktober mocht ik naar Selsela (Weddingwear Selsela) in Haarlem voor de doorpas van een bruidsjurk. Er stond een gave bruidsshoot op de planning, maar deze heeft pas plaatsgevonden enkele weken terug met het respecteren van de RIVM regels, omdat we maanden lang in lockdown gingen. Van de doorpas heb ik met mijn telefoon nog een mooie foto gemaakt van de prachtige jurk, die we maanden later zijn gaan shooten. Side note – Ik neem altijd mijn camera met me mee om behind the scenes foto’s te maken.
After my Stewardess Recurrent, where I followed various training sessions early in the morning and where I took and passed my annual exam, I drove straight from Schiphol to Alkmaar for the shoot. I was scheduled to be the last model of the shoot. The shoot was devided into multiple days to respect the corona rules and regulations. Lovely and fully planned day without a break! I trusted that, in addition to going to work with my own make-up in advance myself, dear Latife (Looks by Latife), would transform me beautifully with a new lovely make-up look as always. I also like to trust her with my appearance.

The shoot took place at Grand Hotel Alkmaar, a very nice hotel where we had a number of shoots or would be made up in various rooms. I had never been to Alkmaar before, but the city quickly seemed very pleasant to me! Although I was mainly inside the hotel. Shoot day started with make-up and hair by Latife. After a lot of fun chatting with her, it was time to shoot. A (shoot) day like this really feels like a present, especially in times of Corona! Photographer Wop van Eis started with shoot 1, the Kimono shoot. Here I went to take pictures in Kimono with my name on it and with make-up products used for the shoot, one on the bath rim and one on the bed with a pillow fight. Kimono shop: Badjasparadijs.

Na mijn Stewardess Recurrent, waar ik vroeg in de ochtend diverse trainingen heb gevolgd en mijn jaarlijkse examen heb gemaakt en behaald, reed ik vanaf Schiphol gelijk door naar Alkmaar voor de shoot. Ik was ingepland als het laatste model van de shoot. De shoot was verspreid over meerdere dagen om de corona regels te respecteren. Leuk en vol dagje dus zonder pauze! Ik vertrouwde er op dat, naast ik zelf al van te voren opgemaakt naar mijn werk ging, lieve Latife (Looks by Latife), mij zoals altijd mooi om zou toveren. Ik vertrouw mijn uiterlijk ook graag aan haar toe.

De shoot vond plaats in Grand Hotel Alkmaar, een heel mooi hotel waar we in diverse kamers een aantal shoots hadden of opgemaakt zouden worden. Ik was nooit eerder in Alkmaar geweest, maar de stad kwam al snel erg gezellig op mij over! Al was ik vooral binnen in het hotel. De shootdag begon met make-up en haar door Latife. Na veel gezellig geklets met haar, was het tijd om op de foto te gaan. Een (shoot) dag als deze voelt echt als een cadeautje trouwens, vooral in tijden van Corona! Fotograaf Wop van Eis begon met shoot 1, de Kimono shoot. Hier ging ik foto’s maken in Kimono met  mijn naam er op en make-up die voor de shoot is gebruikt, een op de badrand en een op bed met een kussengevecht. Kimono is overigens van Badjasparadijs.

The second shoot was with the beautiful dress from Selsela (Weddingwear), I really love this dress. The dress itself is a “sweetheart” dress made of a beautiful white fabric, without frills, very “pure”. That appealed to me about this dress. Also at the waist a beautiful long lace veil that has been added and a beautiful long veil on my head. The photos were taken by Oz Veld photography. After the end of the shoot I drove back as fast as possible to Den Bosch, racing against the curfew time after a busy but fun day.
De tweede shoot was met de prachtige jurk van Selsela (Weddingwear), ik ben echt gek op deze jurk. De jurk zelf is een ‘sweetheart’ dress van een prachtige witte stof, zonder tierelantijntjes, heel ‘puur’. Dat sprak me aan aan deze jurk. Verder in de taille een prachtige lange kanten sleep die er los aan toe is gevoegd en prachtige lange sluier. De foto’s zijn gemaakt door Oz Veld fotografie. Na het einde van de shoot ben ik met gierende banden terug naar Den Bosch gereden, in race tegen de avondklok na een drukke, maar leuke dag.
Shoot results by Oz Veld & Wop van Eis.

Guatemala, one of the most heartwarming places I’ve experienced so far. A destination that still crosses my mind almost daily. And now in my top 5 favorites.

After being lucky enough to solo travel to so many beautiful places around the world, Guatemala instantly became one of the places that touched me the most.

The people, the atmosphere, the volcanoes, Lake Atitlán, the coffee, the food, UNESCO Antigua… this country has a soul that is difficult to describe unless you’ve experienced it yourself.

I met beautiful humans I still speak to from time to time, and I’m grateful to now call some incredible Guatemalans my friends.

I travelled here with my new camera, and I’m so thankful I was able to capture parts of this beautiful country through my own eyes, while also collaborating with amazing companies along the way.

I remember my eyes being teary while being on a boat at Lake Atitlan, and the moment I saw the Volcano erupt during the hike - one of the most challenging things I have ever done. 

Some places impress you.
Others stay with you.
Guatemala did both. 🌋🇬🇹

Pictures by me using my Sony Alpha A6100 + portrait lens, and @luzd_23 📸

Gracias @freecerveza for the awesome stay! 
& @lavatrails.gt for the AMAZING tour!

Wait for the end! ✈️ 
Some women wait for love to start living.
I booked the ticket anyway. 

Some of the most beautiful moments of my life happened because I stopped waiting, for permission, for certainty, for someone to come with me.

Solo travelling taught me that freedom can be lonely sometimes, but also deeply empowering. It gave me sunsets in countries I once only dreamed about, strangers that became memories, confidence I never learned at home, and versions of myself I would’ve never met if I stayed safe.

I may not have everything figured out yet, but I’ve lived. Deeply. Wildly. Internationally.
And honestly? That already makes me rich in life.

I know it’s not a possibility for every woman in the world to do this. Something travel also showed me over and over again.

Tulum, mi destino mágico 🌙🌴🌵
Some months ago I had the beautiful privilege to stay at @villa_hunab_ku multiple times - an absolute masterpiece and truly my aesthetic dream place in Tulum.

I remember sitting in the bathtub on the balcony of the master bedroom, the one I chose out of the five… in complete silence. Just looking out into the trees, feeling the warmth, and realizing how incredibly grateful I felt in that moment.

Grateful to be able to create a life where I get to travel, experience places like this, and even work with them. Something that once felt far away, and now feels like something I’ve slowly built for myself - step by step, by staying true to who I am and not letting other people’s opinions define me or hold me back.

At this villa, everything felt calm.
Safe. Peaceful. Grounded.

Waking up slowly, biking through Aldea Zamá to Nimenõ for my favorite coffee and breakfast just a few minutes away… those simple moments that end up meaning the most.

This villa is perfect for a group trip or something like a bachelorette, but I also loved experiencing it in my own way. Having the space to myself, inviting friends over sometimes, and just enjoying the balance between connection and stillness.

That balance felt very aligned with me.

Gracias en todos, @villa_hunab_ku 🤍

Something that once felt far away, and now feels like something I’ve slowly built for myself - step by step, by staying true to who I am and not letting other people’s opinions define me or hold me back. At this villa, everything felt calm. Safe. Peaceful. Grounded. Waking up slowly, biking through Aldea Zamá to Nimenõ for my favorite coffee and breakfast just a few minutes away… those simple moments that end up meaning the most. This villa is perfect for a group trip or something like a bachelorette, but I also loved experiencing it in my own way. Having the space to myself, inviting friends over sometimes, and just enjoying the balance between connection and stillness. That balance felt very aligned with me. Gracias en todos, @villa_hunab_ku 🤍 Pictures taken with my own camera 📸 (This post has been scheduled ⏳) Had to repost some of these images and videos as Instagram affected the quality of some of my older content - still too beautiful not to share again ❤️‍🩹 #tulum #tuluminati #aldeazama #mexico
