Welcome to Geerte Smeets Photography. Your privacy is important to us. Our Terms & conditions explain how your personal information is collected, used, and protected when you visit this website or book photography services
Booking & Payment
To secure your session, a booking is only confirmed once your date has been agreed upon. Full payment is usually due on or before the day of the shoot unless we’ve agreed otherwise in advance. Your booking date is not held until everything is confirmed. All prices are agreed on before the session so there are no surprises.
