Vacation Photography

Can you imagine turning your visit to Zaanse Schans into a beautiful photo session opportunity? I know you are planning your trip to Amsterdam, and visiting the beautiful windmills nearby is part of the plans; what if I tell you it is possible to combine both of them? You can even reduce the time you spend on this trip, making it a great way to optimize your time visiting Amsterdam.

This family decided to make their photo session with the fabulous background of the Zaanse Schans windmills, so we met there and started photographing right away. The setting was perfect—beautiful windmills, lush greenery, and a peaceful environment that made every shot special.

After capturing their memories at Zaanse Schans, we headed back to Amsterdam to continue the photo session. The city’s historic buildings, narrow streets, and beautiful bridges provided the best contrast to the windmills, offering the family a diverse range of images. We wrapped up just in time for them to return to their hotel, check out, and head to the airport for their afternoon flight.

In just three hours, they managed to capture the essence of both the charming countryside and the vibrant city life of Amsterdam, turning their short trip into a memorable visual story.
