5 out of 5 starsThis is a beautiful photo. It arrived just as pictured, packed well for protection during shipment. I framed it immediately and can’t wait to hang it on my wall.

5 out of 5 starsI recently returned from a trip from the Vail Eagle area. After seeing many photos of aspen trees at local art fairs and galleries, I knew I wanted a small photo that would capture the trip. Everything was too big and expensive, so when I found this photo, I was thrilled. Looks perfect!

5 out of 5 starsMy husband ordered six masks in three different fabric patterns. He chose these for the adjustable strings and masculine fabric. He wears them all day at work over a full beard and he says they are comfortable. He is going to order more!

5 out of 5 starsI adore my mushroom print mask. It fits wonderfully over my face. Plus the straps are sturdy and secure. I may order another from this creator. Thank you so much 🖤🍄

5 out of 5 starsSorry my photo does NOT do justice to this beautiful picture I received. We recently redid our office and I love birch/aspen trees. The monochromatic photo really pops against the light green walls. I also purchased 3 smaller photos to place on other walls. Love them!

5 out of 5 starsI ordered 4 black and white photos from Melissa (TheBlondeDutchGirl) and I love them! Super responsive to messages and my order arrived faster than anticipated. I did think one of my 8x10 would be printed vertically like the other photos I ordered, but it came horizontal, which turned out to be fine. Please consider buying from this shop!
About TheBlondeDutchGirl
The Blonde Dutch Girl always thought she'd be a veterinarian. Until she got into vet school 7 times and all she could think about was being creative.
Once, while on a medical trip to Costa Rica and Nicaragua, a man said to me, "You're the only blonde on this trip! Are you Swedish or Norwegian?" I said, "Nope! I'm Dutch" He sighed, smiled, and said, "Ahh, the blonde Dutch girl..." And that's where The Blonde Dutch Girl was first established!
I grew up in a small town in Wisconsin, surrounded by farmers and cornfields and dairy cows - pretty black and white dairy cows - and lots and lots of Dutch people whose names started with "Van" and "Ten" and other variations of typically Dutch names. And our own little "urban farmette" where we raised puppies, kittens, bunnies, fish, gerbils, and any stray animal that crossed my path. So I figured (and was told) I would be a veterinarian. But, God planted a seed in me for justice, compassion, creativity, and an insatiable curiosity about science and life. And so my story begins.
A Kindergarten art teacher told me, "Blonde Dutch Girl, you're so good at painting and drawing. You're a great artist!" So I did the logical thing. I studied pre-Vet Biology in college. And then, my brain needed creativity to balance out the facts, figures, and details of Biochemistry, Physics, and Organic. So I started taking art classes and an art professor said, "Blonde Dutch Girl, have you ever considered being an artist? You're great!" But, since I always thought I would be a veterinarian, I got into vet school...seven times! But each acceptance letter made my stomach drop. But I really wanted to work with children, global health, photography, and design.
So I finished my Masters in Public Health, told the vet schools, "No, thank you!" and now work as a freelance photographer, designer, marketer, and public health aficionado, traveling around the world on medical missions, meeting beautiful children all around the globe, and serving and loving God's people locally. I'm passionate about the local Church, the sanctity of human life, urban development, and community outreach, and love to serve in ministry by engaging culture and loving people. Ahh, I feel so blessed to do what I love doing and bring photos of the world to your home.
Welcome to my world!

Returns and exchanges
I don't accept returns, exchanges, or cancellations
Returns and exchange details
SALES: All sales are final. Since these are printed at the time of your order, I do not warehouse or have a retail store in which I sell the prints and canvases.
UPGRADE/EXCHANGE: All of my photos are printed on-demand meaning that I do not have a warehouse of photographic prints waiting to be sold. So that means that if you are hoping to get a different size print, you will need to purchase an additional photo.
NOT ARRIVED: If a package has not arrived, please let me know so I can make sure to contact the photo printer or remedy the missing item.
Shipping
I send vintage books via Media Mail with the USPS.
Photographs are sent directly to you from the printer or "drop shipped" from the photograph or canvas printer. They may send via USPS, FedEx, or UPS. I will send you a shipping/tracking notification as soon as I receive it from them so you can keep tabs on your order!
