Why Bos en Lommer Is Perfect for Spring Family Sessions

Bos en Lommer offers a beautiful mix of urban character and leafy green spaces. In spring, crocuses, daffodils, and blossoming trees abound—creating a vibrant yet calm setting ideal for relaxed family photos. Unlike crowded city parks, this neighborhood feels intimate and authentic, giving your session a uniquely local vibe.

A Relaxed, Playful Family Experience

Tucked away, yet not too far from Amsterdam Centraal, is the quiet little neighborhood of Amsterdam West. Featuring main streets Jan van Galenstraat and Admiraal de Ruijterweg, the neighborhood is both quiet and a true picture of local life here in Bos en Lommer. This is where I live, and this is where I photograph most of my clients!

Families love these sessions because they’re fun, lighthearted, and child-led. We spend most of our time walking, playing, and letting authentic moments unfold naturally. There’s no rush—just laughter, connection, and a few gentle prompts that help your family shine on camera.

Spring Styling Tips for Bos en Lommer Sessions

Spring in Bos en Lommer brings a palette of pastel blooms, brick buildings, and fresh greenery. Here’s what to consider:

• Outfit palette: Soft creams, muted pinks, light blues, and gentle earth tones work beautifully. Try to avoid green, as there is already a lot of green in the parks.
• Layers for comfort: Light jackets or cardigans add cozy appeal and keep you warm in early-spring breezes.
• Fabric & movement: Think linen or gauzy textures—these look lovely when the wind picks up.

I’ve noticed that Spring in Bos en Lommer seems to arrive earlier than in other areas! Maybe it’s just all my wishful thinking finally paid off, but our cherry blossom trees bloomed a couple of weeks earlier than anywhere else!

I always advise my clients to wear pastels to their Spring photo session, and the white florals in this park made for the perfect background to their yellow and lavender outfits!

After the first set of cherry blossom trees fade, we get these beautiful white buds in the park garden.

When to Book Your Spring Family Session

Spring blooms in Bos en Lommer are typically at their peak between mid-April and early May. It’s best to reserve your session around March or early April, so you have the flexibility to choose a date based on bloom forecasts and weather conditions.
