Kind Words
“She will make you look amazing in your photos.”
Sandra is a super good photographer and she will make you look amazing in your photos. I booked shooting to get some photos for updating my LinkedIn, social media and I was impressed. She is very kind and will make you feel really comfortable during the shooting. I really recommend and you will be really satisfied with the result.

“Sandra made sure everyone feels comfortable.”
Our company chose Sandra for LinkedIn Headshots in the office. She is a very quick responder, and everything since the beginning of the process was arranged very well. During the photoshoot, Sandra made sure everyone feels comfortable, and of course, made sure that everyone liked their photos. The final photos turned out great! She is a very sweet person and a great photographer. I would definitely recommend choosing her services! 🙂

“De shoot zelf ging als een speer!”
Ik was al een tijdje op zoek naar een fotograaf in Nederland en ik ben heel blij dat ik Sandra heb gevonden. Sandra's outfitaanbevelingen waren goed en ze had passende locatie-ideeën voor elke voorgestelde set. De shoot zelf ging als een speer! Ik voelde me snel op mijn gemak en ze is leuk om mee te kletsen tussen de locaties door. Ik ben nu mijn foto's aan het selecteren en ze zijn precies waar ik op hoopte. Zeker aanbevolen!

“She prepared every detail… so we know exactly what we had to do.”
I had a wonderful creative collaboration with Sandra Herrero Photography. We have worked on a business and lifestyle Photoshoot in Amsterdam. It was great to work with Sandra, she prepared every detail, the moodboard shootlocations, styling/ clothes, so we know exactly what we had to do. It was so easy to shoot with Sandra, she’s professional , creative and besides that, it’s a pleasure to work with! Looking forward to more collaborations in future. Thanks!

Portfolio FAQs
Studio Fee
This applies when clients are interested in shooting at a studio. Once the booking is confirmed, we provide curated options for studio rentals. In the Netherlands, prices typically range from 70€ per hour to 250€ for 2 hours on average.
Additional retouched photos
28€ each (excl. VAT) –Professional Retouching
Additional hours shooting
75€ for each additional 30 minutes of shooting (excl. VAT).
150€ for each additional 1 hour of shooting (excl. VAT).
Weekends & Public Holidays
I typically do not schedule sessions on public holidays, though exceptions may occasionally be made depending on availability and project type.
Weekends are reserved to maintain a healthy work-life balance and ensure the highest quality for each session. However, I may accommodate weekend bookings for clients who are unable to schedule during weekdays.
Weekend sessions (Saturday and Sunday) include a 75€ surcharge (excluding VAT). This fee is automatically applied when selecting a weekend date in the booking calendar.
I recommend scheduling weekend sessions early in the morning to avoid crowds and ensure optimal lighting conditions, especially at popular locations.
Priority Retouching
An additional fee of 150€ (excluding VAT) applies for our 3-working-day turnaround service. Your edited images will be delivered within three business days once selections and payment are confirmed.
Kindly inform us before booking this option to ensure availability in our schedule.
Privacy Protection
For clients who require complete confidentiality, a privacy protection option is available for an additional 60€ (excluding VAT).
When selected, your images will remain private and will not be used for portfolio, social media, advertising, or any promotional purposes — online or offline. The photographer retains full copyright of the images but agrees not to publish or use them for marketing purposes.
Travel fee
Extra fees may apply outside Amsterdam, Utrecht, and Hilversum.
Outside the Netherlands – to be determined.
Outdoor
I specialize in offering a carefully curated selection of stunning locations across Amsterdam and the Netherlands, specifically tailored for your LinkedIn sessions. The booklet showcases a diverse range of settings, from the bustling streets of Amsterdam to modern cityscapes, tranquil parks and forests, picturesque beaches, dunes, and more.
