Oh heeeeey. You scanned the photographer.
So I’m guessing you either saw me running around Switzerland with a camera… or you were just curious enough to see where this QR code goes. Either way, hi.
I’m Maaike.
I photograph people who want beautiful photos without spending an hour awkwardly wondering what to do with their hands.
So… what are we celebrating?
I just want some damn good photos.
Solo, couple or family portraits around Montreux & the Swiss Riviera.
I'm planning to ask 'the' question.
Surprise proposals in the Swiss Riviera and across Switzerland — with help planning the whole thing so you don't have to figure it out alone.
I want photos, but make it a Swiss adventure.
A couple of hours, a full day or even multiple days enjoying somewhere beautiful in the Swiss Alps.
We're getting married our way.
Intimate elopements for couples who'd rather celebrate somewhere incredible than follow somebody else's wedding rulebook.

Most people tell me the same thing before their session…
and this is what they say after.
We felt completely at ease… and it shows in the photos. We felt supported from the very beginning, which allowed us to be natural throughout the session. It was a truly special moment — full of laughter, connection, and surrounded by nature.
Laeticia & Gilles
I didn’t know how to pose… but I didn’t need to.
It felt so calm and natural — I could just enjoy the moment while being gently guided. Maaike’s energy made everything feel relaxed and fun, and the photos truly reflect that.
Raquel
Even if it’s out of your comfort zone… she’s got you.
I’m not someone who knows how to pose, but Maaike gave simple guidance that made it easy. The whole experience felt relaxed, and the photos turned out incredible — beyond what I expected.
Simran
It felt like more than a photoshoot — it was a real experience.
Maaike made me feel comfortable from start to finish with her kindness and positive energy. The whole session felt relaxed and enjoyable, and I’m so grateful for the experience.
