You want to book a Curaçao photographer, but you wonder: what exactly do I get? It is a fair question. Nobody wants vague promises or hidden extras.
At ByFoekema I keep it clear and simple. No fuss, just transparency. In this article you read exactly what is included in every photoshoot – from preparation to delivery. Everything is set up so it fits easily and stress-free within your stay on the island.
Preparation and guidance before the shoot
A photoshoot does not start when the camera turns on. At ByFoekema it starts with listening. As soon as you book, I contact you to discuss your wishes and ideas.
Whether you already have a specific location in mind or you are still looking, I am happy to think along with you. We talk about:
- the purpose of the shoot (family, portrait or business)
- the number of people
- the desired atmosphere
- and practical matters such as time and clothing choice
You also receive simple tips to prepare yourself. No strict checklist, just helpful suggestions so you stand in front of the camera relaxed and ready. Read also what to wear for your photoshoot on Curaçao.
What you can expect during the shoot
The photoshoot itself is about calm, attention and trust. No rushed feeling, no forced poses. Whether you come alone, with your family or your partner, I help you feel comfortable in front of the camera.
During the shoot:
- I guide you with posture and composition without it feeling staged
- we create variety together: standing, walking, together, separate
- there is always room for spontaneous moments, especially with children
The length of the shoot depends on what you book. Sometimes half an hour is enough for a strong portrait. Sometimes we need a bit more time for a family reportage. Either way, I take the time needed to create images that feel right.
Selection and editing of the photos
After the shoot my second job begins: selecting and editing the images. You do not have to scroll through dozens of photos yourself. I make the selection for you.
I look at expression, sharpness, light, variety and feeling. You only receive the strongest images – no duplicates or half moments.
I edit every photo with care. No heavy filters, only natural adjustments in colour, contrast and crop. My style is calm, natural and timeless – photos in which you recognise yourself without them looking “made”.
Editing takes time, but it is exactly what turns a nice photo into an image you want to keep or hang on your wall.
Delivery of the photos
As soon as the editing is finished you receive your photos digitally in high resolution. No small files with logos or watermarks. You get images you can really use – for printing, sharing or keeping for yourself.
You receive them via a personal, secure WeTransfer link. Everything is clear and ready to download instantly. The files are suitable for both online use and large prints. You can share them right away or turn them into holiday souvenirs while you are still on the island.
There are no reorder hassles or hidden costs. What we agree on, I deliver – and often more.
Extras or custom work for your photoshoot
Do you have an idea that falls just outside a standard package? No problem. Sometimes people want:
- a longer session at several locations
- a combination of family and portrait in one shoot
- or a bigger reportage for a family day or anniversary
In those cases I am happy to think along with you. We look together at what fits and what is needed. I make a custom proposal that feels right, without vague extra costs or small print.
What you get standard with every photoshoot
Whether you book a short portrait session or a full family shoot, at ByFoekema you know exactly what you receive. No surprises, no separate charges.

Frequently asked questions
Do I also receive the photos in black and white?
Sometimes yes. If a photo works really well in black and white, I include that version. The base is always colour.
Can I choose the photos myself from the full series?
No. I select the best images myself. That keeps the quality high and saves you from choice stress.
How many photos do I exactly receive?
That depends on the package you choose. You usually receive more than promised, but always carefully selected. Read also what a photoshoot costs at ByFoekema.
What if I want more images than are included?
No problem. You can always order extra images at a fixed price per photo. You receive clear information about this in advance.
A photoshoot is about trust, clear agreements and images that are truly useful to you. In this article you have read what you can expect as standard at ByFoekema. No surprises, just a personal approach from beginning to end.
