Keukenhof Photography

Additional person

If your package does not include additional people, any extra participants at your Keukenhof shoot will incur a €70 per person fee (excl. VAT).

An online invoice with a secure payment link will be issued after the shoot if the additional participant fee was not included at the time of booking.

If the people accompanying you do not wish to participate in the shoot but would like to join you for a walk around the park, no additional charges will apply.

Additional retouched photos

26€ each (excl. VAT) – Professional Retouching

Includes professional retouching such as enhancing the tulip fields, improving row density, removing people, and eliminating minor distractions like houses or unwanted elements.

Extensive retouching for images with large crowds or complex background changes is not included, as it would compromise a natural result and require significantly more editing time.

Additional hours shooting

75€ for each additional 30 minutes of shooting (excl. VAT).

150€ for each additional 1 hour of shooting (excl. VAT).

Weekends & Public Holidays

My working days are Monday to Friday. Weekend sessions may be arranged upon request and are subject to an additional fee, allowing me to maintain balance and spend time with loved ones while continuing to offer a high-quality experience.

Weekend sessions (Saturday and Sunday) include a 75€ surcharge (excluding VAT). This fee is automatically applied when selecting a weekend date in the booking calendar.

Early morning sessions are recommended to avoid crowds and traffic.

Priority Retouching

An additional fee of 150€ (excluding VAT) applies for our 3-working-day turnaround service. Your edited images will be delivered within three business days once selections and payment are confirmed.

Kindly inform us before booking this option to ensure availability in our schedule.

Privacy Protection

For clients who require complete confidentiality, a privacy protection option is available for an additional 60€ (excluding VAT).

When selected, your images will remain private and will not be used for portfolio, social media, advertising, or any promotional purposes — online or offline. The photographer retains full copyright of the images but agrees not to publish or use them for marketing purposes.

The average visitor spends 2 to 4 hours at Keukenhof, but this can vary depending on your pace and interests. If you’re interested in seeing all of the gardens, taking photos, and exploring the various attractions, you may want to allow for a half day.

Our Keukenhof photoshoots last between 1 and 1.5 hours, during which we cover a large portion of the park, focusing on the most photogenic spots based on the blooms. This leaves you with plenty of time to enjoy the gardens at your own pace after your session. Explore the vibrant tulip pavilions, take a relaxing boat ride, admire the iconic windmill, or enjoy a meal at one of Keukenhof’s charming restaurants.

Keukenhof Ticket

Your personal travel costs and entry ticket to Keukenhof Gardens are not included in your photoshoot package. Tickets can be purchased online via the official Keukenhof website.

All of our packages include the photographer’s and assistant’s travel expenses (when available), as well as their admission tickets to Keukenhof Gardens.

Travel Expenses

We are happy to provide travel guidance to help you choose the option that best suits your budget and accommodation location.

The best time to visit Keukenhof depends on the flowers you wish to see. Throughout the season, Keukenhof showcases a rich variety of tulips and other flowers, ensuring there is always beautiful color to enjoy whenever you visit.

For cherry blossoms, crocuses, daffodils, hyacinths, and early tulips, late March to mid-April is ideal. Blooming times can vary slightly depending on the weather, but tulips are typically at their peak from mid-April—making this the perfect time to experience the gardens at their most vibrant, with a stunning sea of color.

Tulips are at their peak in mid-April until the second week of May, so if you want to see them blooming, come around this time. It’s best to visit early rather than late in May, when some tulips may be beginning to wilt.

Here are a few things to avoid and do at Keukenhof in order to capture breathtaking photographs:

Arrive early

The Keukenhof gardens are open from 8:00 AM to 19:30 PM. The best time for shoot at Keukenhof is early in the morning at 08:00 when the light is soft and flattering and Keukenhof is less busy. We prefer to fill the spot at 8:00 a.m. but might be able to shoot in the late afternoon, around 17:00 p.m. when Keukenhof becomes more quiet. We may not be able to provide the 17:00pm time at all times, so please inquire in advance.

Visit Keukenhof during week days

Keukenhof, the most world famous tulip garden is packed on Saturdays and Sundays, it’s high season in The Netherlands and plenty of people visit on these days.

Get your tickets online

Online tickets for Keukenhof can be purchased for a discounted price compared to those purchased at the door. You will also be able to avoid long lines by purchasing your tickets online!

Enjoy the tulip fields from the bus

If you get on the bus from Schiphol, make sure you sit on the right side so that you can get the best view of the different colors of the tulip fields along the way.

Be prepared for rain

Considering that the Netherlands is known for its unpredictable weather, it is still possible for it to rain in April, so be prepared! There is also a lot of wind in the area of Lisse. To stay comfortable and prepared for any eventuality, pack an umbrella or poncho in your bag.

Grab at the entrance gate

During our shoot, we’ll guide you through the park and photograph you in scenic locations. At the entrance gate, you can pick up a free map that will help you locate restaurants, pavilions, and other attractions after our photoshoot.

Wear comfortable shoes

In total, the Keukenhof Gardens cover 32 hectares (79 acres). This is the equivalent of about 51 football fields. Walking will be a major part of your day, so wear comfortable shoes.

Have fun!

Enjoy the experience of being at Keukenhof and let your creativity flow with this fun photoshoot.
