Why this location works so well
Iconic
The canals of Amsterdam are the heart and soul of the city — and one of the most iconic places you can choose for a portrait session. With charming arched bridges, historic canal houses, cobbled streets, and soft reflections on the water, every corner offers a naturally beautiful photo opportunity.
​
Convenient
The area is easy to explore on foot, quiet enough to shoot comfortably, and centrally located — making it ideal whether you're visiting for the first time or returning to a place you love.
​
Versatile
It’s a location that works beautifully for solo travellers and couples alike - offering both variety and that unmistakable Amsterdam feeling.
A bit of history...
The canals of Amsterdam are not only beautiful - they’re part of a UNESCO World Heritage site and one of the city’s most iconic features. Built in the 17th century during the Dutch Golden Age, the canal belt (Grachtengordel) was a masterfully planned expansion that shaped the Amsterdam we know today.
Your portrait session will begin near the Anne Frank House at Westermarkt, right on the edge of the historic Jordaan district - a charming neighborhood once home to working-class families and artists. From there, we’ll explore parts of the city’s most famous canals, including the Prinsengracht, Keizersgracht, Herengracht, and Singel — each with its own story, architecture, and atmosphere.
With their classic canal houses, arched bridges, and peaceful reflections, these spots offer the perfect blend of history, beauty, and that unmistakable Amsterdam feeling.
