Quick Amsterdam Photoshoot

Looking for a quick photoshoot in Amsterdam? When you’re visiting a new city, sometimes you don’t want to carve out two hours for a photoshoot. That’s why I offer a 40 minute session, available only upon request, and photographed in a specific location in the city. The price of the Petite Photoshoot is €400 and you receive 10 edited images out of your gallery..

This Amsterdam Canal photoshoot package is best for maternity, couples, or families with children older than ten years old, as younger children may need a little longer to warm up during a photoshoot. When you book, you will receive a PDF with outfit guidance as well as the specific address of the photoshoot location.

My full photoshoots are €550 and can last up to 2 hours, full gallery set at 50+ images, and come with personalized outfit consultations and wall art consultations.

Tips for a scheduling your quick Amsterdam photoshoot:

Don’t book on the last day of your trip.

If you have a spur of the moment urge to book a session and can schedule it before you leave, absolutely do so! But Amsterdam is notorious for rain, so if you already know you want to book a photoshoot, you should schedule it for earlier in your trip, so if it is pouring rain, you have time to reschedule. Or bring an umbrella!

Bring a lightweight dress for photos.

I have a small client closet for full sessions, but if you’re booking a shorter tourist package, then you’ll need bring something from home or shop in Amsterdam!

My tips for choosing outfits:

-Longer skirts look dreamy in photoshoots because they create leading lines and are easier to bend down in if you have toddlers.

-Choose texture over patterns. Smaller, contrasting patterns are distracting from your face, but textures will add warmth and depth to your gallery.

-Opt for light colors or neutrals. Some people opt for red because of that gorgeous pop it provides, but the majority of my clients wear neutrals and pastels because it gives you gorgeous skin tones. View another red dress session at the famous Bloesempark here.

Don’t be spooked by drizzling.

I got soaked on the way to this session, and it was still sprinkling when they walked up. But Amsterdam is nothing if not rainy. Thankfully, it stopped during this session, but I’ve had sessions where it didn’t stop before and the only thing to do was to play in the rain and enjoy the full Amsterdam experience.

If it’s absolutely pouring, don’t worry, we can reschedule. You can either retreat to a nearby cafe and wait out the rain, or we can try another day.

I’m a wife, mom, artist, and incessant daydreamer. Ill-advised baking challenges are my favorite things to tackle on a Sunday morning, and I truly think pastries are best enjoyed warm, sitting on the floor by the oven.
Seeing and appreciating motherhood for the emotional and physical work it is is the "why" behind Sim Sawyers Photography, and I hope you'll invite me to document yours.
