Tips and facts about the session
-Have you done a session with us before? And do you want to recreate photos from the first session? make sure you bring these photos with you (on your phone or tablet) so that we have them at hand right away and don’t have to lose time.
If we have used rugs from our photo studio for this, you can use them at your own risk. We do not have the possibility to wash the rugs between each session and therefore cannot guarantee that they are clean
-If you already have children, but they are not included in the photo, please leave these children at home.
-Of course we like it if you bring examples of photos that you like. Please note, however, that we cannot reproduce some photos verbatim. Of course we advise you on the spot about the possibilities
-The photos from your session can possibly be used to promote our own website, but we only do this to supplement our portfolio, with photos that we as photographers are proud of. They will never be resold to third parties the photos will only be used with the permission indicated by you according to the registration form.
Clothing tips and accessories
-Preferably come to the studio in the first clothing set and bring an extra set of clothing to change in between for variation. This way you make efficient use of the available time.
-If you want to pose naked, in underwear or only with a bare belly, make sure you do not wear tight underwear under the clothing and make sure that any belly band is not worn over the stomach (even if it is loose) this is to avoid stretch marks in the skin and to avoid extra costs for retouching.
-Elegant transparent cloths are available in different colors https://www.fotostudioduo.nl/fotostudio-duo-zwangerschaps-doek/ It is advisable to wear black underwear underneath and preferably a strapless bandeau band for the best result
-If you like it, you can bring extra stuff to make the shoot even more personal, think of accessories or stuff (shoes, pacifier, cuddly toy, tape measure, mice, letters, etc..) we’ll see what we can use on the spot .
-Of course there is room to bring in your own ideas, please!
-Are you insecure about your stomach because of the cold? stretch marks? We have great solutions without having to retouch bare belly photos right away.
-If you add a child or partner to the photo session, make sure your clothing is coordinated. With white clothing, pay attention to whether the colors white match.
-Did you book a child in the photo session? Make sure there are enough distractions
-With your choice of clothing, take into account that dark hair/clothing and footwear do not look good on the black background, as well as light blond hair/white clothing and footwear on a white background. We recommend that you take the photos on the gray background.
What should you bring to the session
There are a number of things you should bring to the studio yourself to make the session run as efficiently as possible.
-If you want to use something specific in the photo as a photo accessory or photo prop, we advise you to bring your own. The photographer will give you advice on how we can use it. If you have an example with you, please bear in mind that we cannot always reproduce a photo exactly.
-If you do not want to use our transparent cloths, you can also bring your own transparent cloth of at least 1m x 3m. Make sure the material is light so that it can easily “float” in the air.
-If you want to have the canvas photo taken, make sure you bring dark, smooth underwear and preferably a black strapless bandeau for the best result.

The follow-up appointment: what is the difference between a Newborn session and a Baby session

-The newborn session takes place at your home, we can take photos from 3 days old to a maximum of 5 weeks, we do this without studio lighting in the natural environment of your child, we photograph newborn sessions in a natural way without frills and frills or with the accessories that are present at your home.

Sickness policy
NOTE If applicable, read our additional document that we have sent you about the covid-19 measures we are taking and that we expect you to comply with.
-Because we have to reserve studio space and a photographer for you, we assume that you cancel in time, even if in doubt. This way we can make someone else (reserve list) happy with your initially booked time.
-If you, your child or your partner is ill or have just been ill and it concerns a transmissible virus such as covid-19 flu or stomach flu. Can we absolutely not let the session continue. Because we are a family studio and we mainly work with a vulnerable target group in our studio (children, babies and pregnant women), we hope that you will therefore take illness into account.

-If you still come to the session in case of illness and ignore our door policy, the photographer can cancel the session on the spot if in doubt and with his own insight. For example, if you have a cough, a cold or if it is mentioned that you or someone in your household is ill. If this is established by the photographer, the session can be canceled immediately and 30 euros must be paid for a re-take session, the photos already taken will be saved and added while viewing the photos.
