You might have some questions?
What type of shoot do I need?
Based on the required content for posting, we calculate what type of shoot is needed for content creation. The benefits from shooting longer and more often is the ability to shoot more diverse content and at a variety of locations.
Why do you always work with models?
Using models for social media photoshoots is important because they bring social proof, professionalism, and brand representation. Their presence helps convey your brand's identity and message effectively, attracts attention and engagement, and can lead to a more consistent and visually appealing social media presence.
Do you assist in finding invite models?
Yes, we provide assistance in locating models for your needs. Our service includes working with volunteers and we charge an hourly rate for the time dedicated to this task. You'll greatly benefit from Nora Maria's extensive network of highly engaged followers, whom we frequently invite to participate in projects.
How many models do I need?
Depending on your brand and product, the number of models differs. Though always keep in mind that we usually use the front and back of the models. We often ask models to dress in a way that can be changed, like a sweater, jacket or coat to take off. We prevent having very distinct colors and clothes so that it will be less visible that we “recycle” models.
What is engagement?
An engagement score on Instagram is crucial as it gauges the strength of your content's connection with your audience, forming a vibrant community. This score not only boosts content visibility within the algorithm but also offers insights for refining your strategy based on audience preferences. High engagement enhances profile credibility, attracting potential collaborators and influencing partnerships. It serves as a practical tool for evaluating goal success and optimizing advertising strategies for businesses using Instagram ads. Additionally, the comments and interactions contributing to the score provide direct feedback, aiding in understanding audience preferences and addressing concerns.
How to increase engagement?
To increase your Instagram engagement, we focus on sharing high-quality, visually appealing content tailored to your audience's interests. We craft engaging captions and maintain a consistent posting schedule to keep your audience informed. We utilize Instagram features like Stories and Reels for variety, and actively engage with your followers by responding to comments. We use strategic hashtags to enhance discoverability, and consider hosting contests or giveaways to encourage participation. You can collaborate with others for a wider reach, and post at optimal times when your audience is most active. We monitor your analytics through Instagram Insights to track performance, and encourage shares and saves by creating shareable content. Additionally, consider hosting Q&A sessions in your Stories and promoting user-generated content to foster a sense of community involvement.
Why should we work with influencers?
Using influencers for social media marketing can be highly beneficial for several reasons. Influencers often have a dedicated and engaged following, which can help you reach a targeted and receptive audience. They also bring authenticity and credibility to your brand or product recommendations, as their followers trust their opinions and expertise. Influencers create “free” content which can be requested and reused for your brand's Instagram.
What are giveaways? What impact can giveaways have?
Running an Instagram giveaway can significantly benefit your account by boosting engagement, expanding your reach, and fostering a sense of community. Encouraging participants to like, comment, and share your post increases visibility and attracts a broader audience. Giveaways can contribute to follower growth, enhance brand awareness, and create a positive brand sentiment. Additionally, they may serve as a form of lead generation. User-generated content from the giveaway entries provides valuable material for your content strategy. The increased activity can also positively influence Instagram's algorithm, potentially improving overall post visibility. Thoughtful planning is crucial to ensure the giveaway aligns with your goals and attracts genuinely interested participants.
What is the purpose of posts and stories?
Posting on Instagram helps a business by expanding its online presence and brand recognition, fostering engagement and trust with its audience, promoting products or services, enabling storytelling and community-building, driving traffic and sales, and providing valuable insights for data-driven marketing strategies, all within a visually appealing and engaging platform that reaches a wide and diverse audience.
Stories enable users to share updates, behind-the-scenes glimpses, and spontaneous moments in a more casual format that disappears after 24 hours. The interactive elements, including polls, questions, and quizzes, facilitate engagement and community-building. Additionally, Stories provide a platform for creative expression with stickers, filters, and drawing tools. Businesses leverage Stories for promotion and marketing, utilizing features like Swipe-Up for direct links. The Highlights feature allows users to curate and save selected Stories on their profile, providing a lasting showcase of specific themes or important content. Overall, Stories contribute to increased visibility, fostering a more authentic and immediate connection between users and their followers.
What posting frequency would you recommend?
By posting at least one story per day you keep the account alive and visible to followers because you are always visible at the top of the home page. There will also be times when we post more than one story because there is more to share, without additional costs. Instagram Stories are live for 24 hours, while posts are evergreen, meaning they stay on a profile forever.
And Reels?!
Reels are an Instagram feature for users to create 15-second video clips set to music and share their stories, explore feed, and the new Reels tab on a user’s profile. They give the ability to reach a wider audience. When a user creates a Reel, it appears in a dedicated section where users can discover and engage with new content. When someone discovers a Reel they enjoy, they are likely to check out the rest of the content.
About Nora
My name is Nora, and I am a 30-year-old Amsterdam native with an insatiable love for this vibrant city. Growing up, I had the opportunity to experience different places, but it was the magnetic pull of Amsterdam that brought me back when I was 15.
Amsterdam
Love for Amsterdam
From that moment, I fell head over heels in love with the city's charm, its hidden corners, and its endless stories waiting to be captured.
My journey into the world of visual storytelling began during my time as an English teacher. It was then that I discovered my natural inclination for capturing the essence of Amsterdam through the lens of my phone. As I shared these snapshots on social media, something magical happened - a community started to form around my images, and people were captivated by the beauty I saw in everyday moments.

My commitment to my craft goes beyond just taking stunning photographs; it extends to curating meaningful experiences for businesses as a social media manager.

By creating captivating content and implementing strategic social media strategies, I aim to elevate your brand's visibility, foster genuine connections with your audience, and drive measurable results.
It is an honor and a privilege to have turned my passion into my profession, and I am grateful every day to pursue my creative calling in a city that continues to inspire me.
Back then
How it Started
Fuelled by this unexpected wave of appreciation, I took a leap of faith at the age of 23 and invested in an actual camera. Little did I know that this decision would shape my destiny. The art of photography became my passion, my driving force, and a medium through which I could convey the spirit and energy of Amsterdam to a broader audience.
As I continued to immerse myself in this creative journey, my online presence flourished. What started as a personal hobby quickly transformed into a thriving platform, attracting like-minded individuals who shared my love for Amsterdam's intricate details and hidden gems. The support and encouragement I received from this virtual community were invaluable, and it ignited a fire within me to pursue my dreams wholeheartedly.
