Family Photo Session in Amsterdam

When families ask me about the best location for photos, I always start by asking a few simple questions:

• Have you seen any pictures you love?

• Where are you staying: near the canals, Amstel river, or museums?

This lovely family was staying near Prinsengracht, just a short walk from our meeting point. From there, we explored the canal belt together, one of my favorite areas to photograph.

Hi! I’m Joanna, a vacation photographer based in Amsterdam, also covering Zaanse Schans and Haarlem. On my Instagram and website, you’ll find guides and tips for photo sessions and family-friendly walking routes. I love combining storytelling with beautiful photos, especially for family trips with curious little explorers!

In the next posts, I’ll be sharing the time and locations it took to bring each photo to life. This session took 90 minutes, we walked a little extra because they had a clear vision in mind, and it was totally worth it. This session was captured with love for @flytographer on a Custom Route.
