Photograph Spring in the Netherlands
Join Our 2026 Workshop!
Andrea and I are thrilled to share that we are organizing a unique and inspiring photography workshop in the Netherlands from April 13 – 18, 2026, with a welcome dinner on April 12th, and we’d love to know if you might be interested in joining us!
This inspiring journey will take place during peak tulip season in the Netherlands and is designed for photographers who want to capture not only iconic scenes, but also hidden beauty, vibrant color, and artistic abstraction.
What to Expect:
- Multiple days at the Keukenhof Gardens, not only to capture the world-famous tulip displays, but also to explore Andrea’s personal favorite areas, where wild bulb flowers bloom in soft light and shade.
- A day trip to Kinderdijk, home to the Netherlands’ iconic windmills – perfect for atmospheric landscapes and storytelling images.
- A visit to the bustling flower auction, offering endless inspiration in movement, color, and composition.
- Opportunities to photograph the vibrant tulip fields, with their graphic patterns and bold colors.
- A photo review and editing session in a private conference room – a chance to reflect on your work, get feedback, and learn from each other.
- And to top it off, our week concludes with a magical canal tour through Amsterdam, including dinner on board – the perfect finale to our creative journey.
Getting There & Starting Off
We’ll begin with a welcome dinner on April 12 at the Hyatt Hotel, located very close to Amsterdam Schiphol Airport – easy to reach for all international arrivals. This relaxed evening will be a chance to meet each other, go over the plan, and get excited for the days ahead.
We’d Love to Know If You're Interested
At this point, we are not taking bookings yet. We are simply reaching out to see who might be interested in joining us.
Once we have finalized the price and details, we will contact everyone who expressed interest. If you're still excited to participate at that point, we will begin taking confirmed bookings in the order we received replies.
There is no obligation at this stage– just let us know you're interested, and we’ll keep you in the loop.
We can’t wait to share this colorful, creative adventure with you!
Warmly,
Jackie & Andrea

Suggested Gear & Other Info...
Camera: Participants are expected to know how to operate their equipment. If you have any new gear, it is important to become acquainted with it BEFOREHAND to get the most from the workshop.
Lenses: Telephoto zoom (100 - 500mm equivalent) will allow you to photograph the flowers from a distance or at a fairly close range. This reach is ideal for shoot-throughs. Macro lenses and a wide angle zoom (24 - 70mm) (or iphone) for landscape or wider scenic images.
Tripods/Monopods: A sturdy tripod will be helpful if you need assistance holding your camera for a long period of time.
Software: Jackie & Andrea will share post-processing techniques with you and will offer feedback on your images throughout the workshop. Editing demos will range from basic image adjustments to more advanced Photoshop techniques with emphasis on removing distractions and cleaning up images. We will focus on obtaining a variety of compositions so you don't leave anything on the proverbial table.
Pre & Post-workshop Zooms: An overview and orientation will be held online prior to the workshop. Post-workshop Zoom will consist of image reviews of fully edited images, although feedback will be shared in the field and in a review session during the workshop.
