FAmily photoshoots in amsterdam

There’s something magical about pressing pause on everyday life and stepping in front of the camera with the people you love most. My Amsterdam family photoshoots are easy, relaxed, and even fun—yes, really! More than just beautiful portraits, these sessions help your children see themselves as part of a story full of connection, love, and belonging. It’s not just about how you look, but how it felt to be together in that moment.

Common Questions about your family Session

Q

&

A

Absolutely! Just let me know before your session so I can make sure we visit a pet-friendly location and so we can coordinate your outfits with your pet's fur! 

can we bring pets to our family shoot?

The session lasts as long as you'd like. The truth is that the adults aren't leading the session, the kids are. I can shoot a full session in 30 minutes if I need to, but generally kids last for 2 hours and then they're done.

How long does the session last?

Absolutely! I do not charge extra for more family members, so please bring along anyone you want in your family photos. 

Can we bring grandparents?

I do love to use "golden hour," but I understand if that's not compatible with your family's schedule, as sunset in the Netherlands in the summer can be as late as 23:00. Luckily I am able to shoot outside of golden hours and we can schedule a session during the day.

What time do you schedule sessions?

I have an outfit guide I send you when you book that walks you through colors, patterns, and textures, and I have a small client closet you're welcome to borrow from.

What do we wear?!

Because they need you in the photos too

My sessions are relaxed and child-led, allowing your family’s real connection to shine. I focus on gentle direction and natural movement—resulting in portraits that feel joyful, unforced, and honest. You can expect swinging, running, jumping, dancing, and, of course, lots of snuggles.
