Questions and answers
Booking deposit
The booking (date and time slot for your photoshoot) is confirmed only after I receive your deposit.
For the most type of photoshoots the deposit is 40% of the photoshoot price. You can pay it via Stripe payment link (I will send it to you) or Tikkie.
The rest of money you need to pay right after the photoshoot (cash, Stripe or Tikkie).

Planning the photoshoot
Once the date is booked it’s time to plan our photoshoot.
1. Please be open with me, don’t hesitate to share your expectations and fears.
Ex. "I like the photos to look spontaneous, I don’t like standing still."
Or "I’m 8 months pregnant and I like the shooting to be calm and relaxed."
Or "I’ve never done the photoshoot before, don’t I know what to do."
Or "I like to be in front of camera but my partner is shy."
Don’t worry, there’s a solution for every situation 😉.
2. I made a few beautiful routes for the photo walks in Amsterdam. But if you have some places in mind, or some places you know about and don’t want to miss, please let me know about it.
3. It’s also possible to take photos in other cities (Haarlem, Utrecht, Zaanse Schans, Hilversum etc) or locations (dunes, beach, flower fields and farms l). For several types of shooting (LinkedIn, personal branding, product, family) it’s a good idea to take photos at your place or book a photo studio or use my home studio.
4. I’m always more than happy to help you to choose the clothes for the photoshoot. I’m not the “fashion police” and I always respect your personal style. But sometimes the outfits may look good in real life, but they don’t look not so good on the photos. And, of course, It is always better to fix it before we meet and start taking photos. It also easier for me to know what you’re going to wear when I plan the activities for the photoshoot.
5. I’ll help you with posing, if you need it.

The deposit is non-refundable.
However, you can change the date of the shooting. You can do it only ONCE.
In this case you don’t lose your deposit.

What if it’s raining?
The weather in the Netherlands is unpredictable - it makes things hard to plan. But don't worry, I got it covered!
While booking a photoshoot I always suggest to choose the alternative date. Usually, it's the next day after our main date or a few days after.
I will check the weather the evening before photoshoot and we will decide if we want to reschedule it.
Usually, we don't need to use our “alternative date option”, because sometimes rescheduling just for 1-2 hours within one day it’s enough to have good weather.
Anyway, I have nice transparent umbrellas for you in case if you prefer rainy photos (these photos are beautiful!) or you can't reschedule the date.

Editing
In 3-4 weeks (5 weeks for weddings and busy times like tulip season or Christmas) after shooting I’ll send you the link with your digital pictures.
I don’t do sneak peeks.
You’ll get 40+ photos (according to a photoshoot type of your choice) with retouching.
I do the color toning and some light and natural skin retouching for portraits.
The editing style of your photos will be similar to the other series in my portfolio, but may very due to weather conditions or indoor/outdoor locations.
I stick to my editing style because it reflects my artistic vision, which I have developed through my years of experience. I don't change it upon request.
If you have any questions or requests about the color toning please let me know before you book a photoshoot.
I don’t change already edited photos.
The link to the gallery will be available for 1 month. Please don’t forget to download the photos or let me know if you need more time.
If you want all original photos - please choose "Premium" plan
