Creative Portraits in Amsterdam: A Flash Session for Fall Lovers

During the Gals That Brunch event in Amsterdam, I offered a limited number of flash sessions, quick, 15-minute portraits designed to capture personality and mood within a short window. One of those sessions stood out for how it turned into a beautiful collaboration celebrating creativity, autumn colors, and personal confidence.

“The session was great, and Joanna was able to guide me through it, even though I usually get very shy taking pictures of myself. But with her support in finding the right angle and what I wanted from the session, I ended up with AMAZING pictures to celebrate my love for fall in Amsterdam :) Highly recommend her work!”

What made this session special wasn’t just the light or the location, but the process of shaping something unique with someone who came in unsure and left glowing. These flash sessions may be brief, but they’re designed with intention, and always with the potential to turn into creative magic. As a result of this flash session, the client received three final pictures, and here let me show you her favourites.

Now, it's your turn:

I’m always looking to create more than just portraits. I’m open to creative collaborations, especially for personal projects with stock photography potential. If you're interested in exploring a concept together (and are okay signing a model release), let’s chat!

Until next photo session,
