HOW TO BOOK A PHOTO SESSION?
Booking a session with me is simple and straightforward. To initiate the process, please reach out to me via contact form on my website or via email at olgavandenphoto@gmail.com. Along with your message, kindly provide a prepayment to secure your reservation.
I kindly request the prepayment to ensure the smooth reservation of your photo session. It's important to note that without the prepayment, I am unable to consider the session as officially booked. I appreciate your understanding in this matter as it helps me maintain an organized schedule.

WONDERING WHAT TO WEAR FOR YOUR SHOOT?
Don't worry, I'll be here to help you. When you book your shoot, I'll send you a brief "What to wear" guide, a kind of mood board for inspiration. No matter, what type of shoot you choose, you'll be looking your best.
For some sessions, like Maternity or Christmas sessions, I have a collection of long dresses, which you can use for our shooting.
WILL YOU TELL ME HOW TO POSE? I have no experience of being in front of the camera.
Yes, I always give clear directions and suggestions for the poses. No matter your body shape or size, the way you pose can really change how you look on camera and I can help to show you at your best, for both males and females. I like to shoot a mix of posed and candid, natural photos.
DO YOU HAVE A PHOTOGRAPHY GIFT CERTIFICATE?
Sure, a photography session is a perfect gift, combining a relaxed experience to enjoy and remember, with beautiful images to cherish for a lifetime. And if you have run out of gift ideas for that next engagement party you're going to, Mother's day, baby shower, or Christmas - this is a simple, but the thoughtful solution!
The Gift Voucher amount starts from 50 euro.

I USUALLY DON’T WEAR MAKEUP, SO WHAT IF I DON’T LIKE HOW I LOOK?
I usually don’t wear makeup what if I don’t like how I looks?
I work with professional makeup artist who are great listening to your preferences and creating exactly what you want. They know the perfect techniques to help you look great on camera, including turning up the volume of your makeup and adding beautiful definition to your eyes.
If there is anything you want to tweak before the shoot, we can always do that.

Professional make-up artist - from 70€
Assistance of a stylist - from 60€
Travel cost - 37 cent per km
Retouching of an additional photo - 10€ per photo
Photo session on week-ends and public holidays is for an additional fee 20 euro.
ARE UNEDITED/RAW IMAGES AVAILABLE?
No. I provide only the final finished product. Unedited/RAW images are not available for purchasing at any time. In rare individual cases, provision of files is possible at a cost of 100 euros.
As a photographer, consistency is key for my brand and my business. So, I can't have images that haven't been edited by me, floating around on the internet.
CAN I HAVE ONE MORE RETOUCHED PHOTO?
Yes, sure, you can have it. Every additional retouched photo is 10 euro.
HOW DO I RECEIVE MY IMAGES?
You will receive the edited images via an online gallery, which you can share with your family and friends.
They are available in high resolution (for printing) and low resolution (for online use) and will be without watermark.
What is your delivery time?
My delivery time is between 2 and 4 weeks. It is important to let me know in advance, if you need to have delivery more quickly, than we can discuss it.
Deliveries in 48 hours will be subject to an extra.
WHEN IS THE BEST PERIOD TO DO MATERNITY SESSION?
Maternity sessions are best captured between 27 and 32 weeks. This allows for a nice rounded bump. Feel free to contact me as soon as possible to book your maternity photography session.
WHEN DOES A NEWBORN SESSION TAKE PLACE?
Newborn sessions take place when the baby is 7-14 days old. Babies are much more sleepy and curly during this time and easier to pose. All sessions take place Monday-Friday at 10am.
