She works for several Dutch magazines (Elle, Marie-Claire, Jackie and Linda) and is also known for her work on Haute Couture collections from several designers.
In 1996 Verbruggen joined forces with Ferry Drenthem Soesman. Together they have found the perfect synergy between concept, photography and digital art. Their specialties are fashion stories and portraits of celebrities, with their work being exhibited both in The Netherlands and abroad.
In 2001 Carin Verbruggen & Ferry Drenthem Soesman met Marlies Dekkers, an internationally-renowned lingerie designer. This meeting resulted in a close collaboration, with Verbruggen & Drenthem Soesman being responsible for the art direction and photography of all Dekkers’ printed campaign imagery.
