Elisabeth Sanders (1982) is a Dutch photographer who captures the quiet poetry of everyday life. With a background as a child psychologist, she brings a deep sensitivity to the way she observes human connection — especially the nuanced, emotional world of motherhood.

Rather than focusing on perfect poses or moments, her work is about atmosphere and emotion. She photographs what is felt rather than just what is seen. Through her lens, ordinary moments become poetic, imbued with depth and meaning.

Elisabeth’s photography reflects her belief that beauty lies not in perfection, but in presence and feeling. Her images invite you to pause, to reflect, and to experience the emotional essence of a fleeting moment.
