Services and Pricing

As a portrait photographer, fashion photographer or wedding photographer I offer several products and services. For example, you can come to my photo studio in The Hague, for a photo shoot or we could do a shoot at a location of your choice. Many is possible. Every shoot is tailor-made. If you share your thoughts with me, I will come up with a proposal. I'd love to hear from you.

On this page you will find the building blocks of the products and services I provide. The prices are based on the amount of time I need to provide you the high quality end result as you can see in my portfolio. It is not just about the time I spent on photography, but also on the preparation, post-processing and delivery. When the shoot is on location, I also charge travel expenses that include my travel time. In addition, it is possible that other costs must be incurred for the shoot. For example parking and entrance fees or for renting a location or special equipment. Of course we always decide on these matters together.

Below you can see that the hourly rate differs per type of shoot. This has to do with the amount of time I need for the preparation of the shoot and post-processing of the photos. Portrait photos taken in the studio usually require less post-processing time than portrait photos taken on location because in the studio I have more control over, for example, the light. A wedding photography generally requires the most preparation and post-processing time. This is partly due to the often changing circumstances during a wedding (for example changing scenes both indoors and outside, important moments in the day and the number of people present). To give you an idea, for a wedding shoot I spend 4 to 5 hours on post-processing for every hour of photography. For a number of services I charge a starting rate. These services can of course be perfectly combined and purchased together. I only charge one starting rate per invoice and always ensure that the total price is justified in respect to the time I invest and the end result you receive.

If you allow me to I use the photos for marketing purposes, I will give you your personal Forever Images Photo App (FIApp) as a favor in return. Within this app your photos are securely available for you anywhere you have access to the internet. This enables you to display your photos on your device with just one single click. You no longer need to scroll through your gallery with all kinds of photos (in the presence of others), looking for the specific photos you want to show. The FIApp is offered to you free of charge and you don’t need to register for it. It is easy to use and your privacy is fully respected because the FIApp does not collect location data, contact data or other information from or about you. The FIApp also does not get access to, for example, the camera, microphone or files on your device. It’s practical, easy and safe and delivers a professional presentation of your photos.

A couple of times a year I like to I offer my services, possibly including my studio on a TFP bases (Time for Print / Time for Portfolio). In this way I would like to meet other creative (starting) professionals that I would otherwise never have met. If you are you an experienced or starting fashion designer, model, makeup artist, MUA, MUAH or stylist, feel free to contact me.

If you have any questions or remarks, please let me know!


Studio shoot

The studio shoot will take place in my own photo studio. Depending on the duration of the shoot I also provide something to eat and drink. The shoot consists of taking the photos and the photo selection on the computer. The price includes the digital photos.

Photoshoot on location

Photo shoot on a location of your choice. It is possible to make an appointment after the shoot to make the photo selection on the computer. Another option is that you receive a number of photos with a low resolution and a watermark which you can use to make the final selection yourself. If you choose to include the mobile studio in your shoot the shoot will potentially take two hours longer to set it up and dismantle. This depends on the location and how we will use the mobile studio. The price includes the digital photos.

Wedding shoot

A wedding shoot is always unique and it’s always an honor for me to be asked as wedding photographer. I believe it is important that there is a good connection between us and to be well prepared. To achieve this I think it’s key that we have met at least once before the wedding day. If you want, you can read more about how I work as a wedding photographer. I do wedding shoot with a duration of 4 to 12 hours. The price includes the digital photos. If you choose to order a wedding album as well, the Dutch VAT rate of the entire invoice will be 9% instead of 21%. A nice 12% discount! Please let me know if you would like more information or want to meet me in person.

Only wedding photos

Do you only want a professional photographer for the wedding photos? No problem. We can do just the bridal shoot for a maximum of 3 hours. The advantage is that you can limit costs and still have professional wedding photos. Even if we only do the bridal shoot, I still believe it is important that there is a good connection between us and to be well prepared for this shoot. To achieve this I think it’s key that we have met at least once before the wedding day. If you want, you can read more about how I work as a wedding photographer.

Bridal Prime Package

The Bridal Prime Package consists of a couples shoot 2 to 4 months before the wedding and photographing the dressing of the bride (and groom) and the bridal shoot on the wedding day. This package is interesting if you want to have professional photos of the three most beautiful moments for a charming price. Each of the three components takes a maximum of 2 hours. We do the couples shoot well before the wedding. We can do this at a location of your choice or in my studio. Maybe this is the last serious photo shoot you do before you get married. During the couples shoot we get to know each other better and you can see this as a kind of rehearsal for the bridal shoot. The couples shoot will give you some beautiful photos that you can use for the invitations. Getting dressed on the day of the wedding is often a very special moment. It can be both exciting and serene at the same time. Intimate, with just a few of your most dear ones, but without your future spouse. A moment of reflection and rejoicing. In my eyes, pearls of images are hidden here, poems for which there are no words. And then the bridal shoot. Photos of the two of you, together, in your wedding dress and suit, on perhaps the most beautiful day of your life. Photos that you want to enjoy and admire for the rest of your life. In an album, on the wall, on your bedside table or in a piece of jewelry. The three most beautiful moments together in the Bridal Prime Package. If you want, you can read more about how I work as a wedding photographer. The price includes the digital photos. If you choose to order a wedding album as well, the Dutch VAT rate of the entire invoice will be 9% instead of 21%. A nice 12% discount! Please let me know if you would like more information or want to meet me in person.

Workshop

You will be taught the intricacies of the course during the two-hour or four-hour workshop. We start with the theory about what shutter speed, aperture and ISO are, how you can set them on your camera and what the effect of different settings is on your photo. After the theory you will explore your camera and you will practice changing these settings. We then do a number of simple but amusing exercises that will enable you to make some really creative photos. During the exercises, aspects such as composition, lighting and contrast will be further explained. The workshop is ideal if you have a digital camera and want to be able to do more with it. An easy first. The workshop can be great for teambuilding, a bachelor party or birthday present for someone who already has everything. It is fun and creative and you’ll enjoy what you have learned for the rest of your life. Because I like to give enough attention to each participant, the maximum group size is 12 people.

Time for Print

Time for Portfolio

As a portrait photographer and fashion photographer I occasionally like to do a shoot based on TFP (Time for Print / Time for Portfolio). In my photo studio in The Hague or somewhere else. I deliver the photos digitally with a watermark (see the photos on my website). Under special conditions the photos can be delivered without a watermark. If you are a model, make-up artist, MUA, MUAH or stylist, please feel free to contact me for the possibilities.



Post-processing

If you want to have your photos extra edited, just let me know. For additional post-processing the following rates apply:

Prints

A physical print of your photo can be astonishing. Whether it is a photo print or print on wood, canvas, or for example plexiglass, it is all possible. For this printing service I create special files from your photos which I send to the supplier. These files are optimized for the specific printing technique and the material used for your print. Depending on the type of print and your preference, I have prints produced by either Profotonet or GalleryColor because in my opinion they deliver the best quality. For the highest quality printing of your images I charge a starting rate plus a percentage of the total invoice amount of the supplier. We can specify your print together or you can choose your specifications on the supplier's website, the type of material, size and various other options. Here you can also see the prices. I will place the order with the supplier and pay for it. You only receive a specified invoice from Forever Images and the prints are sent directly to you by the supplier. I only provide this service for photos that I have made myself.
