Photography

Photography, to me, is more than just taking a photo—it’s feeling, remembrance, a gateway into something deeper. My work intertwines the lens with the language of the body, blending somatic movement, energy, and intuitive artistry to reveal raw, unfiltered essence.

My work is a mix of analogue and digital photography. I work with women in 1:1 sessions, (mixed gender) group spaces, and sacred gatherings, capturing the depth of retreats, ceremonies, and rituals worldwide. Each frame is an invocation—a reflection of presence, power, and truth.

Sacred Space photography

Interior of a Moroccan-style room with decorative arches, a tiled pillar, and sunlight streaming across the floor, with cushions, a bowl of fruit, and candles arranged on the floor.

In the sacred container of retreat, ceremony, ritual or training where identities soften and the veils grow thin, I step into the field as both witness and weaver. I do not stand outside the experience, observing. I want to become part of the pulse, allowing the lens to be guided by something far greater than sight—a current of intelligent infinity moving through every breath, every glance, every silent release.

Tuning into the energetic architecture of the group field, I listen deeply. The photos are not designed. They arrive, naturally, as transmissions—alive with the essence of what unfolded, encoded with the frequency of transformation that took place.

This is sacred space photography.

What are you willing to reveal when you forget the camera is there? What parts of you are ready to be seen?

My work does not document your retreat or ceremony. It becomes part of its living memory.

    “ Beautiful woman, you have such a magical way of capturing exactly the right moments.

    I’m deeply grateful for the photos you took of me—through your lens, you revealed the muse within me so beautifully.

    Your images reflect the many women that live inside me: my strength, my vulnerability, my playfulness, and my self-love. The mirror you held up was an unforgettable, transformative experience.

    From the moment of surrender during the shoot to receiving the images—it was all incredibly valuable. You touched me on a deep level and helped me see myself with more love and power.” - Mirjam

    “ She is phenomenal. Many times women feel  like they need to pose for  “the male gaze”. This is a very different experience. Prepared to be stripped down. To your core.

    She’s going to capture you in your raw, feminine, authentic truth. I felt like I fully relaxed into my body when she took my photo’s. And she pulled out this deeply feminine, soft side of me that I don’t show too often - cries.”  - Tori

    “The session with Marieke truly felt like such a gift.

    From the beautiful visualisation that brought deep insights around femininity, to the cacao ritual and finally the photo session itself—it was a whole journey.

    Her warm, grounded presence made me feel completely at ease, allowing me to flow naturally with whatever wanted to unfold.

    At one point we spoke about one of my insecurities—my belly. Marieke gently invited me to give it love. She chose to highlight that part of me, with close-ups, flowers, and soft, affirming words. What surprised me most? How good that felt—and how much I loved the photos.

    I truly hope every woman who feels the call gives herself this experience. ” - Tjitske

    “I'm in such awe of what Marieke and I created during our ceremony. I've had many shoots before but never have I felt so calm and secure.

    She is phenomenal, pure and I'm grateful to have her as a sister. She truly captured the soft and feminine side of me and I can still barely fathom the results. I'm forever grateful.” - Demi
