Lots of thoughts are running through my mind tonight. I haven’t spoken publicly about what’s been happening these past years, but perhaps my silence and distance from the camera said enough.

This is a story about scars: the ones you see, and the ones you don’t. Today, a doctor told me I might have something that shouldn’t be left to grow. She did a biopsy, and now I wait for the results. Waiting is hard.

I’ve had keloids for years. The one on my ear took over almost everything, and even after the second surgery, it never really went away. Now the biopsy is on my face, and I can’t help but wonder what happens if it turns into a keloid. Last one grew fast.

Some of you, even family, have asked me to go out and enjoy these days in Lima. But the truth is, I’ve been hiding a bit, from fear, from uncertainty, and from the thought of starting all over again.

Still, writing helps. Maybe it’s nothing. Maybe it’s something. Maybe it’s just another scar that will teach me something new about patience, about healing, and about what it means to keep showing up.

Tiny art like this, with so much detail, feels rare and magical.

This free exhibition runs until October 31st in Lima, Peru. The artist, Ana Sofía Casaverde, has created such wonderful pieces, full of imagination and precision, that invite you to play, explore, and discover every little story inside.

Magnifying glasses are available so you can get closer, watch a short video about her process, and spot familiar artworks reimagined in miniature. It’s a unique experience, and I can’t recall seeing anything quite like it in Lima before.

If you’re visiting the city, even for a short stay, make time for the Ricardo Palma Cultural Centre in Larco Avenue. It’s free to enter and open until October 31st.

I’m on holiday in Lima for a few days and looking for more exhibitions or museums to visit, any recommendations? See you soon :)

Can’t wait to see this again in Spring.

Can you believe we’re already in October? As high season slows down, this is the month I use to organise all my personal photos, design, and print my vacation books.

These three sessions were captured by during some of my trips. I love relying on other photographers for my personal travel photos because they’re the experts in their locations. I always end up learning so much about the places we visit, and they’re incredible at managing crowds and weather changes. You can’t even tell it rained in Verona or how busy London and Prague were during our sessions. Also, the whole process is seamless. I love welcoming Flytographer clients in Amsterdam, and I equally enjoy becoming a customer myself when I travel.

These books will be printed in Europe and, hopefully, I will send the designs online next week so they’re ready when I return to Amsterdam. One more is already in process here in Lima, Peru.

Today, I want to share my Flytographer affiliate link with you. You’ll get a discount on your first session in any of their 350+ destinations across 80+ countries, or when purchasing a gift card. Gifting memories is one of my favourite things, and it’s my go-to present for weddings. I always hope to share some of the joy I feel every time I receive a new gallery.

To receive the link in your DMs, comment “Flydiscount”, or simply copy it here: https://flyto.co/JOANNA.

Keep in mind a small amount is added to my account when using my referral link, so thank you so much for supporting my journey.

These pieces were part of the exhibition at Onze Lieve Heer op Solder (Our Lord in the Attic Museum), which ended on September 7, 2025.

They tell the story of The Miracle of Amsterdam, an event that deeply marked the city’s history and faith.

In 1345, a man near death received the Holy Sacrament, but soon after, he vomited. The contents were thrown into the fire, yet the Host remained intact. Seen as a divine sign, it became one of Amsterdam’s most important pilgrimages, remembered every year through the Stille Omgang, a silent procession that continues to this day on March 15th.

One of the most important lessons for me as a photographer is to be in front of the camera.
To feel what my clients feel, the uncertainty, the shyness, the need to trust someone else’s direction. Every time I do, I’m reminded how much courage it takes to let go and just be.

That’s why I try to have my photos taken by another photographer at least once a year. It helps me remember how it feels to stand there, overwhelmed by what I call “the black box.” It’s humbling and grounding.

It reminds me that being photogenic is not about how you look, but how you feel.
Happiness, connection, and good direction make all the difference.

These pictures are not mine, two are for friends along the way but the other two are from in Santorini, Greece, and in Lima, Peru.
