Capturing the Seasons: Why Every Time of Year Tells a Different Story

Blog

One of the most beautiful things about living and photographing in the Netherlands is how the seasons transform the landscape—and your photos. Whether it’s the soft pastels of spring or the golden glow of autumn, each time of year brings its own magic.

Here’s what I love about each season, and how you can make the most of it for your next photoshoot:

Spring Tulips, blossoms, and longer days—spring is all about colour and renewal. Perfect for romantic couple shoots, fresh family portraits, or maternity sessions. Think parks, gardens, and playful barefoot moments on the grass.

Summer Sun-soaked fields, glowing sunsets, and plenty of time in the golden hour. Summer is ideal for carefree outdoor sessions with kids, long walks along the river, or dreamy weddings in the countryside.

Autumn Leaves crunching underfoot, soft light, and deep, earthy tones. Autumn gives portraits a timeless, cosy feel. It’s great for family shoots, engagement sessions, and anyone who loves warm colour palettes.

Winter Quiet landscapes, soft fog, or even a dusting of snow. Winter brings calm and intimacy. Think quiet woods, bundled-up cuddles, or urban sessions with a seasonal twist. Shorter days just mean we aim for the best light.

No matter the month, there’s a perfect backdrop waiting. I always work with the season—not against it—to make sure your photos feel real, natural, and full of the moment.
