A couple session (\u20ac250) gives two people an hour for each other. Think of an anniversary, an engagement or simply a day together in the city. A family session (\u20ac300) brings parents, children or several generations together. A portrait session (\u20ac200) is for one person, such as a friend, a relative or a colleague.<\/p><figure class=\"rpb-col\"><img class=\"wp-image-54019\" src=\"https:\/\/media.rudenko-photography.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/dutch-family-photoshoot-17.jpg\" width=\"1500\" height=\"1125\" alt=\"Family in a close group hug laughing on an anniversary walk for the parents, the father holding the dog in the sunlight\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 767px) 100vw, 700px\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/media.rudenko-photography.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/dutch-family-photoshoot-17.jpg 1500w, https:\/\/media.rudenko-photography.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/dutch-family-photoshoot-17-500x375.jpg 500w\" \/><figcaption>Five of them and a terrier, on the parents&#8217; anniversary<\/figcaption><\/figure><p>Each one lasts an hour, and all the photos arrive in the recipient&#8217;s gallery within 7 days.

Any travel costs or location surcharges are part of the total, and they see it before paying.<\/p><\/div><p>After booking, they get a link to My Photoshoot with the meeting point and the moodboard. I plan the route, so there is nothing to prepare. Lisa and Nicole&#8217;s friends ordered their gift card from the States.

At checkout, the gift card&#8217;s value comes off the total. So if the recipient adds an extra hour or an add-on, they only pay the difference. An extra hour costs \u20ac125 for a couple, \u20ac150 for a family and \u20ac100 for a portrait. It comes with more downloads, too.<\/p><p>There are three add-ons. Analog Photofilm (\u20ac150) adds analog film to the digital photos, with 10 more downloads. Extended Gallery (\u20ac50) keeps the gallery online for a year instead of a month. Priority Delivery (\u20ac50) brings the digital gallery within one day instead of seven.<\/p><figure class=\"rpb-col\"><img class=\"wp-image-30008\" src=\"https:\/\/media.rudenko-photography.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/lousiamother-18.jpg\" width=\"1500\" height=\"1125\" alt=\"Daughter laughing on the wet sand while her barefoot mother waves one arm in the shallow surf, a moment from a gift photoshoot by the sea\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 767px) 100vw, 700px\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/media.rudenko-photography.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/lousiamother-18.jpg 1500w, https:\/\/media.rudenko-photography.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/lousiamother-18-500x375.jpg 500w, https:\/\/media.rudenko-photography.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/lousiamother-18-70x53.jpg 70w\" \/><\/figure><h2 id=\"what-if-the-gift-card-isn-t-used\">What If the Gift Card Isn&#8217;t Used?<\/h2><p>Then you can get your money back. An unused gift card is refundable during its validity. The money goes back to the original payment method, so to the person who bought it. Once the recipient books with it, the Cancellation and Rescheduling Policy applies. A free reschedule is possible within 24 hours of booking or at least 14 days before the session, and then everything the gift card covered moves to the new date. A later change needs a new \u20ac50 payment, as <a href=\"https:\/\/rudenko-photography.com\/en\/faq\/\">my FAQ<\/a> explains.<\/p><figure class=\"rpb-col\"><img class=\"wp-image-54004\" src=\"https:\/\/media.rudenko-photography.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/dutch-family-photoshoot-12.jpg\" width=\"1500\" height=\"1125\" alt=\"Three grown children laughing arm in arm by the canal, an afternoon given as a gift for the anniversary of their parents\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 767px) 100vw, 700px\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/media.rudenko-photography.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/dutch-family-photoshoot-12.jpg 1500w, https:\/\/media.rudenko-photography.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/dutch-family-photoshoot-12-500x375.jpg 500w\" \/><\/figure><h2 id=\"when-to-give-a-photoshoot-as-a-gift\">When to Give a Photoshoot as a Gift<\/h2><p>Whenever a day deserves more than a present: a milestone birthday, a wedding anniversary, an engagement, Valentine&#8217;s Day or Christmas.
