Portrait Photography in the Netherlands
Soft , natural emotional present portraits
A portrait that feels like you
There’s a moment when you stop posing — and start being
And that is where true portrait photography begins
My sessions are not about perfection; they are about presence

Words from people I photographed
Kind reflections from clients who experienced these portrait sessions
— in Amsterdam, across the Netherlands and beyond.
“Our session felt more like a beautiful conversation than a photoshoot.
Manuela captured not only how we look together, but how we feel.
These images are now some of our most treasured memories.”
— Ana & Miguel, couple portrait in the Netherlands
“I didn’t expect to feel so calm and seen in front of the camera.
Manuela gently guided me without ever forcing a pose.
When I received the portraits, it felt like I was looking at a softer, truer version of myself.”
— Laura, portrait session in Amsterdam
