Capturing the beauty of life abroad — one story at a time
Pascalle & Chris
With my husband being English and myself Dutch, we had a mix of English and Dutch guests. This was no problem for Amy as she speaks both fluently. This was particularly helpful during the taking of group photos.
I cannot recommend Amy enough! We hired her to be our photographer for our autumn wedding.
Not a tourist with a camera — this is about connection, not just taking photos in pretty places.
Not detached from Dutch culture — true expat photography comes from immersion and understanding.
Not a hobbyist taking pictures abroad — this is a professional craft rooted in story and experience.
Not a one-style-fits-all photographer — every expat story and family deserves a unique approach.
Not unaware of the emotions behind moving countries — your experience is layered, and your photos should be too.
An expat photographer is not...
Understands what it’s like to build a life abroad — capturing the feeling of belonging wherever home happens to be.
Helps internationals feel comfortable in front of the camera — guiding you through unfamiliar Dutch light and surroundings.
Deeply connects to the expat experience — fluent in cross-cultural communication and life between languages.
Focuses on storytelling, not stiff posing — your session reflects your story, not an unrealistic picture.
Offers a calm, reassuring presence for families far from home — helping you feel relaxed, confident, and seen.

Some favorite behind-the-scenes moments
Emily & Sidney
Had a amazing engagement photoshoot with Amy at Keukenhof. She effectively communicated with us up until the event and even helped move up our time to miss a large storm. Amy was so fun to work with and found all the best spots guiding us through thousands of people. The pictures turned out beautiful and captured the love and fun my our relationship! I would highly recommend Amy for all your photography needs!
I photograph weddings, engagements, families, & events anywhere across the Netherlands and northern Belgium — from iconic landmarks to quiet, personal spots — tailored to your story.
Which areas do you cover as a photographer?
I combine fine-art storytelling with local knowledge and hidden gems across the Netherlands and northern Belgium — delivering a smooth, fun, stress-free photography experience.
What makes your work different from other photographers?
Absolutely! Whether a one-hour elopement or a family photography session with children needing extra patience, I adapt to make everyone comfortable — pets are welcome too.
Can you handle short timelines or special circumstances?
I focus on real connections, laughter, and emotion, so your wedding, engagement, or family photography gallery in the Netherlands or Belgium reflects your personality — not stiff poses.
