I'm Sandra, a photographer based in Amsterdam and full-time since 2018. I built my business on creativity, client experience and storytelling, and I've photographed 1,500+ clients from 75 countries along the way.

What students say
★★★★★ Real student reviews
“Sandra has always surprised us; she is creative, fun, and a lovely girl!”
If you're looking for a photo experience in Amsterdam, this is the place to go! Sandra is super welcoming and friendly, knows the city well and will accompany you for a tour and a unique experience in the city. The experience was full of interesting discussions along the way. Tell her what you're looking for in photography, and she has the answers. I'm not a professional photographer myself; the main purpose of the tour was to understand the basics of photography and take beautiful photos while visiting Amsterdam. Mission accomplished.
I booked it with my friends, and they also ended up really happy to have had this experience, as well as the other two services, the new photo shoot and the daily photo shoot. Sandra has always surprised us; she is creative, fun, and a lovely girl! I highly recommend it to anyone looking for any level of photographic experience. Thanks so much for making our trip to Amsterdam unique!

“It was absolutely AMAZING! 100% recommended!”
We book Sandra for a class session for my dad, and it was absolutely AMAZING! besides being a super talented photographer she makes the session a whole experience, she was so dedicated and patient, she took us on a tour of the city center of Amsterdam in which while the class was happening she was giving us some fun facts about the city (I live in Amsterdam and it was like my first time here). We will do it again when my dad returns!!! 100% recommended!!!
