Vacation Photography

When walking around Amsterdam, it’s impossible not to talk about its history, architecture, and the stories that shaped the city into what it is today. To truly understand the present, you need to look at the past. Everything here has a reason, a logic behind it.

This year, my Lifestyle Routes have grown even more! What started as a 3-hour experience has now expanded to 6 hours, with the option to add a boat tour during your photo session. I can hardly believe how much these experiences have evolved, but it’s all because there’s a real need to save you time while exploring.

If you cover all the basics in one day, you’ll know exactly what to dive deeper into the next. Plus, you’ll receive a map of Amsterdam’s best food and drink spots, which I keep updating with new openings. It’s a journey we embark on together, and I’m always happy to tailor it even more to what you’re looking for.

This photo session was taken in one of my favorite locations: the Canal Belt’s West side. That means we walked from Singel to Prinsengracht, staying close to Centraal Station, capturing the beauty of this charming area.

It was such a lovely family session for @flytographer, a platform that connects travelers with local photographers worldwide. I’ll be sharing a link to their site in today’s stories!

And here’s what this family had to say about their experience:

“Joanna provided nothing less than a FANTASTIC experience! She really got a sense of the types of photos we were most interested in and used her vast knowledge of the city to create an environment that was exactly what we were looking for. She also shared so much history about Amsterdam, making the experience feel even more fulfilling than a ‘standard’ photo shoot. Could not recommend her highly enough!”

See you soon for more adventures in Amsterdam or anywhere in The Netherlands! Photographer: 📸 @joannapantigoso
