December ’25 & January ’26 Recap

4–6 minutes

The first month of the year is coming to an end, 2026 is really in full swing. Time for another biweekly recap in which I update you on the shoots I’ve done the past two months.

December and January were quite peculiar months. December is full of holidays and festivities of course, and I took a shoot break. Part of that was fully planned by me, but part of it was involuntary – I just didn’t get any paid bookings in the entire months of December and January. Unfortunately this has been happening more and more, and it’s been stressful and difficult to keep the business afloat.

Perhaps you’ve noticed my website looks different. It’s much more simplified, entire pages like the Closet are removed, and the entire site is in English again. That’s because big changes are coming for Swan’s Seduction, and I had to downgrade my plan to reduce costs, as well as other personal circumstances that cause a need to restructure a lot. More about that another time.

Now first let’s get into these 7 shoots I did, they’ve been very creative and fun! I am proud to share them with you today:


01.12.25 | Miss Mew

This was a short and sweet shoot with just one photoset. Mew wanted some Christmass-y pin-up images and an excuse to spend a relaxed afternoon together. And of course I was 100% in.

We created some lovely photos in about thirty minutes, and then settled in for afternoon tea with far too many sweet treats (we both definitely overestimated how much we’d eat). A simple shoot, a cosy vibe, and a very enjoyable afternoon.


04.12.25 | Marouschka & Franklin

I had posted a model call to recreate a marble statue I’d seen, so I was specifically looking for a couple who’d be open to holding that exact pose, nude. When Marouschka and Franklin replied, I was instantly excited as not only did they have the right build, but their tattoos added a modern twist that completely transformed the classical reference.

I’m so glad I chose them, because the result turned out beautifully. And since they were already in the studio, we decided to keep going and shoot some additional sexy/kinky couple images as well.


07.12.25 | InZeyn

This was my first time working with InZeyn. I discovered her through Instagram and was immediately drawn to her playful styling, artistic outfits, and strong visual identity (and yes, she’s absolutely stunning too!). So when she accepted my invitation to shoot together, I was very excited.

She arrived at the studio with what felt like a million outfit options and a wonderfully neurospicy energy that turned the session into pure creative chaos – in the best way. We clicked instantly, shared ideas, drank a bit of wine during the shoot, and honestly, it barely felt like work at all. A collaboration like this is exactly where I thrive.


11.12.25 | Flora Gattina

Flora is a well-known artist in the Dutch burlesque scene, so when she asked if I could bring my backdrops and lights to her dance studio, Rasalila, for a photoshoot, I couldn’t say yes fast enough.

She was an absolute joy to work with. I loved her costumes, our conversations, and the way she moves in front of the camera. Her stage experience clearly shines through. Not just in her control of her body, but in how confidently she connects with the camera and holds poses that translate into truly stunning images.


19.12.25 | Caro Bones

This was such a fun shoot! She came all the way from the other side of the Netherlands, and brought her fiancé along with her. He gets along well with my boyfriend Manos so they went on their merry way while Caro and I shot some amazing pictures! We started with a quite minimalist photoset, just a plain white backdrop and a Mugler-like mesh+velvet bodysuit moment. Then we shot a second photoset inspired by self-love, featuring mirrors.

Afterwards the boys came back and we all ate pizza together, before they had to make the 2.5+ hour long journey back to the German border.


16.01.26 | Zizi Zinnona

Hurray, a new stunning face in front of my camera! I’ve been lucky enough to witness her on stage twice before though, and I was immediately enamored. The scheduling took a while (which was mainly my bad) but I’m so happy we made it happen.

The results are absolutely gorgeous but the process was also an enormous joy. I loved getting to know her and felt immediately comfortable working with Zizi – and I got the impression she felt the same. All in all, a lovely collaboration with tons of stunning images as a result.


21.01.26 | Anna Dee

Finally, some latex again… I’ve been getting some feedback I’ve been mainly shooting lingerie and burlesque outfits nowadays, and you guys were missing the more kinky stylings… Aren’t we lucky that Anna Dee arranged FOUR amazing latex outfits for our shoot?!

She made a beautiful burgundy bolero to go with a burgundy dress, and she even handmade a bra with neon orange trims. Anna inspired me to purchase a blacklight for this photoset. It totally worked and adds a lot of dimension and contrast to the images! We also shot two gorgeous looks from Liquid Disco Latex, one of which is pictured here in the middle for a “Cupid shot me down” photoseries for Valentine’s Day.
