Amsterdam, Netherlands

Hi! I’m Sarah, born in 1980 and mother to three wonderful, now grown-up daughters. Photography became an important part of my life after the great loss of a loved one. It made me realize how valuable a photo can be—a lasting memory that brings so much comfort in times of grief. When working with children, I love their pure spontaneity. When they feel free in front of the camera, something magical happens. Capturing that uninhibited joy is truly special. Young people radiate energy and playfulness, sometimes with a hint of insecurity. I help them relax so they dare to show their true selves—whether it’s a spontaneous laugh or a dreamy gaze. That’s when their personality really shines. Adults are often critical of themselves, but I show them how beautiful they are just as they are. In a relaxed atmosphere, with subtle guidance, a strong and natural portrait emerges. I make sure you look your best while staying true to yourself. Seniors carry so many stories within them. Every wrinkle tells a tale, every glance radiates warmth. I capture them with pride and tenderness—sometimes with a mischievous sparkle in their eyes.

Bij Odetfotografie draait alles om échte, pure en liefdevolle momenten. Ik ben Odet, een gepassioneerde fotograaf die houdt van het vastleggen van herinneringen zoals jullie écht zijn. Geen stijve poses, maar spontane lachjes, warme knuffels en oprechte emoties. Mijn specialiteit? Het fotograferen van gezinnen, zwangere mama’s met hun partner of gezin, pasgeboren baby’s en natuurlijk bruiloften. Of het nu gaat om de tederheid van een pasgeboren kindje, de connectie tussen geliefden of de vrolijke chaos van een gezin – ik zorg ervoor dat deze kostbare momenten voor altijd bewaard blijven. Mijn stijl is warm, tijdloos en natuurlijk. Ik werk vooral met natuurlijk licht en een ontspannen sfeer, zodat iedereen zich op zijn gemak voelt. Het resultaat? Foto’s waarin jullie jezelf herkennen en die je keer op keer met een glimlach bekijkt. Bij Odetfotografie draait het niet alleen om foto’s, maar om het vertellen van jullie verhaal. Een herinnering om voor altijd te koesteren.

Menasha, The United States Also serving: Green Bay (The United States)

As a seasoned photographer with over 30 years of experience in portrait photography I have embraced a photography movement that is gaining momentum—"Empowerment Photography.” It goes beyond capturing pretty images and instead seeks to tell stories, elevate confidence, and spark empowerment. I strive to empower women of every age, shape, and size, fostering a celebration of beauty that transforms and helps each individual feel beautiful in her own skin. I want to photograph the woman who’s ever looked at a picture of herself and not felt beautiful or felt that she is not photogenic. I want to photograph the woman who says she’ll get her picture taken when she loses a few pounds, the mother who looks through her family albums and sees she is missing because she avoids the camera.

Amsterdam, Netherlands

I am a passionate photographer specializing in child portraits, based in a beautiful daylight studio in Amsterdam. My love for capturing the moments of childhood drives my work, as I strive to help parents preserve these precious memories for a lifetime. Children grow so quickly, and through my photography, I freeze those moments in time, allowing families to hold on to them forever. Photography, to me, is more than just taking pictures. It’s about capturing the essence of a moment, the emotions, and the energy of a child. Every child is unique, and I aim to reflect their personality and spirit in each portrait. Whether it’s a joyful smile, a curious look, or a quiet moment of wonder, I focus on capturing real, authentic emotions. My daylight studio in Amsterdam provides the perfect natural light for creating warm portraits. The light enhances the beauty of every moment, ensuring that each image is as unique and special as the child being photographed. I work closely with families to understand their vision and make sure each session is relaxed and enjoyable, resulting in timeless portraits they’ll treasure for years to come. It’s incredibly rewarding to know that the photos I create will be cherished by families for generations. Helping parents collect memories of their children’s early years is a true privilege, and I am grateful to be a part of their journey in preserving these moments for the future. I'm very grateful to be able to do what i love!
