Hi, I’m Sandra
I became a full-time photographer in Amsterdam in 2018. Since then, I’ve photographed 1,500+ happy clients from 75 countries along these canals. I speak Spanish, English, French and Dutch, so you feel at ease from the first minute.
Amsterdam is perfect for surprise proposals, engagements, honeymoons, couples, solo travellers and families. Think the Dancing Houses on the Damrak, the Seven Bridges or a quiet street in the Jordaan.
Of course, no modelling experience is needed. I guide you the whole time, so your photos feel relaxed and natural.

“For anyone looking for an engagement photographer in Amsterdam, Sandra is your girl.”
Had a lovely time getting our engagement couple photos with Sandra. I did a lot of research looking for the right photographer and chose Sandra because I liked the laid back yet romantic quality of her photos. I didn't want something that felt too staged or stiff. She was the perfect fit for us. We immediately felt very comfortable and had a lot of fun shooting around my neighbourhood with her. For anyone looking for an engagement photographer in Amsterdam, Sandra is your girl.
“Sandra was simply amazing.”
Sandra was simply amazing. An awesome human being, a passion-driven photographer. She valued our preferences and was a passionate storyteller and apart from photos helped me to know more about culture and life in Amsterdam. As a photographer, she had an excellent sense of 'angle' and 'frame' which was combined with passion, resulting in an excellent image. Towards the end of the shooting, it was no longer apparent that we were meeting for the first time. Sandra, thank you so much for helping make this Amsterdam photography experience happen for us!
“Has sido la guinda del pastel de un viaje inolvidable!”
Es muy difícil explicar lo gratificante, bonita y divertida que fue para mi pareja y para mi la experiencia que vivimos con Sandra. No podemos definirla como experiencia fotográfica exclusivamente, ni como experiencia turística; ella supo hacernos sentir entre amigas. Su carácter, profesionalidad y personalidad nos hicieron pasar uno de los ratos que jamás olvidaremos de Amsterdam y que, gracias a su trabajo, nos llevamos inmortalizado para el recuerdo. Gracias por las risas, las historias y los consejos. Has sido la guinda del pastel de un viaje inolvidable!
“Ses belles photos nous permettent de repartir avec des souvenirs intemporels.”
Nous avons beaucoup apprécié cette expérience. Sandra a réussi facilement à nous mettre à l'aise pour notre photoshoot. Très sympathique et professionnelle, elle nous a emmenés dans des endroits charmants et nous a raconté en français et anglais quelques anecdotes sur Amsterdam. Nous n'avons pas vu le temps passer et avons passé un très bon moment en sa compagnie. Ses belles photos nous permettent de repartir avec des souvenirs intemporels. Merci encore pour cette expérience photographique!
“Sandra é uma profissional incrível, amei as fotos que fiz com ela.”
Sandra é uma profissional incrível, amei as fotos que fiz com ela, Querida, simpática fiz a melhor escolha...ela é dedicada e soube entender o que eu queria... Ela conhecia muito sobre a cidade, fatos históricos, curiosidades sobre a cidade, arquitetura e estilo de vida que fizeram tudo ser mais especial. Ela foi muito atenciosa desde antes do encontro (nas direções até o ponto de encontro), durante as fotos, que alem de apenas um ensaio foram um verdadeiro tour por Amsterdā. Recomendo muito...

It is always a great idea to bring flowers, especially tulips! In the Netherlands, these are iconic and make stunning accessories for photos. You can also use a hat, jewellery, scarf, foulard, Amsterdam map, or vintage camera as props.
There are a lot of photogenic spots located in city centre where you can take breathtaking pictures of Amsterdam’s architecture, from hidden streets, beautiful bridges and docks with views of the majestic 17th century Dutch canal houses.
Here is a short list with some of the best photo spots in Amsterdam that you can use for your photoshoot:
You can choose your favourite Amsterdam canal for your photographs, such as Brouwersgracht, Prinsengracht, Herengracht, or Singel canal.
Magere Brug, also known as Skinny Bridge or Love Lock Bridge, is the most famous bridge in the Dutch capital. Another nearby location to visit for more photos with a Parisian vibe can be found at the Blauwbrug and the docks at Amstel river.
We have a partnership with private boat providers so that you can enjoy a canal cruise while having your photo session. There is a high demand for romantic boat photoshoots for couples, proposals, engagements, and weddings. By photographing from a canal cruise, you can obtain different perspectives than if you were taking pictures from the street.
We highly recommend visiting the Red Light District at night. If you are wondering, it is unfortunately not possible to take photos in this street in Amsterdam. Keeping the sex workers’ privacy is important, but we can offer a stunning night photography experience where you can capture the city lights, Amsterdam night life and have cool photographs with red neon lights.
It is also possible to shoot at the iconic Dam Square, Central Station, or at the famous Bloemenmarkt, however these locations are always crowded, we will be glad to suggest the best spots and times for you to shoot.
The Begijnhof and NDSM Wharf are other great photo locations that we can choose to visit for your shoot.
During winter season, there’s a cute street called the Nine Streets in Amsterdam, where you can get pictures with Christmas lights at night.
Outdoor locations in Amsterdam are better for photos. However, you can also take some photos in a coffee place or terrace, there is nothing more fancy than enjoying a glass of wine next to a beautiful canal or a coffee. Inside your Client Portal you will find a booklet with indoor locations where we can shoot, such as coffee shops, hotels rooftops, etc.
Amsterdam’s canals are waiting for you. Pick your package, choose your day and time in my calendar and book online in a few minutes. Once you’ve booked, I’ll guide you through everything in your Client Portal, from what to wear to the best locations.
