Image Delivery

Your images will be sent as downloadable digital files in an online gallery. This gallery will allow you to print, save, and share the images from your session very easily! The images can be downloaded as web sized images or print sized images. The images will not have a watermark or logo on them, however, when posting on social media, I always appreciate receiving credit! It will take on average 3 weeks to receive your gallery!

If you are interested in professional prints or products, you can order high quality professional prints/frames/canvases through the online gallery and order albums directly through me!

Every image you receive will be edited in my unique style. This includes color-correction, exposure adjustment, selective black and white processing, clarity adjustments, tone mapping, and other corrections such as removing a pimple or stray hair. Be sure to check out my galleries to get a feel for my editing style. I do not deliver all of the images I shoot; I eliminate duplicate images, test-shots, out-of-focus shots, shots with unflattering expressions, and other images that may dilute the overall product quality.

Print Releases and Professional Products

While a print release is included in all portrait packages, I strongly advise my clients to order products (prints, canvases, and albums) through my professional lab. This ensures top-notch product quality that mainstream printing vendors cannot create. Album design is a specialty of mine! I design my clients' albums to tell the story of their relationship, preserving all the special moments, in what will be an heirloom for many years to come.

If you’re interested in printing and creating your own products, all packages come with a print release. A print release means the named clients have rights to print the images for personal use. They can print the images as many times as they want, post them on social media, and send images to their friends and family. A print release does not give clients rights to alter/edit the images (#nofilter) or use the images for a profit. I do not sell the copyright for my images.

What happens if there is bad weather?

The weather is a tough one!

However, if it's going to be over 90 degrees out, we typically reschedule unless you're comfortable with it (sweaty pics, never fun). If it's going to be under 30 degrees and we're shooting outside, we typically reschedule unless you're comfortable with it (freezing cold = running noses and red faces).

When it comes to rain, I do ask for flexibility and understanding on your part that I don't control the weather.

If your session is in the morning, and the forecast has over a 70% chance of rain, the evening beforehand we chat and plan to reschedule (so you and I don't have to wake up). If your session is in the morning and the forecast has less than a 70% chance of rain, we wait til the morning to make a decision (trust, I've had absolutely beautiful weather when it's told me there was a 50% chance of rain).

If your session is in the evening, we generally wait until the day of the session to decide whether to proceed or not.

And finally, if we do have to reschedule, the reschedule date must be within 3 months of the originally scheduled session (ie: the original date is June 10, reschedule date must be before September 10 / original date of November 15, reschedule must be before February 15).
