Check out the FAQ page to learn more about my approach, what to expect from your photo session, and practical information regarding cancellations and reschedules.
The booking calendar shows my current availability. Any time slot you can select is available to book.
Book your photoshoot in three simple steps:
1. Pick your date, time, and location.
2. Share your story and ideas.
3. Complete the checkout.
If I confirm that the weather makes the photoshoot impractical, you can reschedule without extra cost or move the photoshoot to a professional indoor venue. You arrange and pay for the venue.
Light rain is usually not a problem. A stylish umbrella can add a distinctly Dutch feel to the photos.
I’ll guide you with simple direction and movement throughout the photoshoot, so you can relax, be yourself, and feel natural in front of the camera.
I’ll suggest a beautiful area and route based on the light, atmosphere, and surroundings, using natural light and distinctive backdrops to create cinematic portraits. If you have another area in mind and we decide to shoot there, we’ll work with the conditions we find and adapt as we go.
Light changes throughout the day, and every type has its own character. Working with it is part of my craft, so I adapt to the available light to keep your portraits consistent with the quality and atmosphere you see throughout my portfolio.
I avoid crowded areas where possible, although Leiden’s streets are public and weekdays are usually quieter than weekends. For a one-hour photoshoot, we stay within one area, as moving between separate areas reduces the time available for photography.
I don’t photograph at residential locations, such as private homes or holiday rentals. Photoshoots take place outdoors or at professional venues.
To reschedule, book a new available time slot online. A €50 payment is required to secure it.
You can reschedule without extra cost within 24 hours of booking or at least 14 days before your photoshoot. In that case, any amount already paid or covered by a gift card carries over, and the additional €50 is refunded.
If you reschedule later, the original €50 deposit is nonrefundable. The new €50 payment becomes the deposit for the rescheduled booking. Any remaining amount already paid or covered by a gift card carries over.
