Not every photoshoot needs big styling.
Sometimes presence is enough.

What do you think? 1, 2 or 3? Which one is your favorite?

• HELLO 2026 •
Happy new year 💋

I‘ve been cocooning, healing, resting & preparing for this year, that just started 2 weeks ago (if you follow the Gregorian calendar… - ask me if you want to know more 😉).

2025 felt like a storm, a letting go, a shift, things changed, many of us had to go through some intense times (including me)

According to the Chinese lunisolar calendar, we’re still in the Year of the Snake until February! A time of shedding old skins & releasing what no longer serves us.

2026, the Year of the Horse, brings a very different energy:
movement, focus, courage, forward direction.
Clarity matters. So be clear of what you want! 😉

If you swipe through this post, you’ll find the lessons I’m carrying with me into 2026.

Not things I read somewhere.
Things my body, my work and my life taught me.

The more I trust myself, the calmer everything becomes. In life & with my work.

If you feel called to go deeper into rituals, reflections and inner work, you can join my broadcast channel where I share these practices more intimately 🤍

Save this for later.
Share it with someone who needs the reminder.

And tell me share with me, which lesson are you taking with you into 2026? 💋

• RECAP OF MY WORK 2009–2025 •

At the end of a year, I usually love to reflect on the past months.
But this time it felt right to zoom out a little more and look back at my modeling journey of the last 16 years. 😊

It all started with a job for TUI.
I flew to the Canary Islands, had the time of my life… and someone took pictures of me while I was just enjoying.
I remember thinking: Wait… this is a job? 😍📸
I was hooked. And honestly, I wanted to do this forever.

Over the years, I worked in so many different areas, fashion, commercial, runway, sports, hair, beauty…
And all over the world: Athens, Milan, Paris, Cape Town, Tel Aviv, Germany and many places in between.
So many brands, so many teams, so many memories… I’ve honestly lost count by now 😅

You might notice a little gap though…
2020 & 2021 I didn’t do any modeling jobs.
And 2022 only one, because I happened to spend summer in Germany 😅

Those years, my focus shifted completely.
I poured my heart into my online yoga studio, gave online classes, held women’s circles from places with beautiful backgrounds like the ocean & the jungle, from Mexico, Costa Rica, Guatemala and more…
A very different chapter. And a very important one!

In 2023, I slowly started again.
Starting over. 💪🏼
With more clarity, more trust, and a very different relationship to myself and this industry.

Choosing just one picture per year was honestly not easy 🙈
But looking at them now, I don’t just see jobs, I see chapters of becoming.

Some of the pictures from this year aren’t even out yet, as many jobs will be published next year. So keep following to see what I did this year 😊

💬 Would you like to see more from specific years?
I could share carousel posts for individual years if you’re curious 😊 I have so many pictures of each year 😅

Tell me which one you’d love to see.

This is your reminder to slow down… breathe…
and soften back into your feminine energy. 🤍✨

December has this funny way of making us believe we need to rush, finish, achieve, complete.
But you don’t have to “fix” the whole year before it ends.
You don’t need to cross off every to-do.
You don’t need to be everything for everyone.

Maybe you feel this too… this pressure that December somehow has to be ‘perfect’. But honestly? I’m letting that go this year. I choose softness instead of stress.

Let this message be your permission to soften now.
To enjoy what’s already here.
To feel the warmth of small moments, the calm in your body, the joy in the simple things.

Tell me…
What helps you slow down in December? ✨

One thing I love about modelling is stepping into different versions of myself.
Every shoot asks for another facet of me.
Sometimes strong, sometimes playful and sometimes soft & sensual. ✨

In this shoot with @patrick.canis I got to embody the version of me that feels both sensual and confident.
And honestly? Shooting by the ocean made it so much easier to step into that feeling. Something about the waves, the wind, the sand under my feet… it always brings me back into my body, feeling grounded, soft, fully present.

How about you?
✨ When do you feel the most sensual?
✨ The most confident?
And for the models here: what’s your favorite version of yourself to step into on set? 📸
