Do you give RAW or unedited files?
Nope, I don't. I think that would be equivalent to a baker giving their client an un-decorated cake plus the eggshells, bags of flour, and cups of milk. It'd be a big mess and you would have a completely unfinished product. I spend a lot of time and artistry on the work that goes into your each of your images after I actually capture them, so you'll receive the pretty edited ones that represent who I am as a photographer & I'll hold on to the RAW files.
Do you deliver every image you shoot?
No, we do not. We eliminate duplicate images, test shots, missed focused shots, shots with bad expressions and other images that may dilute the overall product delivery. For example, because we shoot with low apertures, sometimes we take a few extra shots to make sure we have the perfect focus. We don’t expect you to have the expertise or the time to zoom into each image to select the one with the sharpest focus, so we spend hours doing that on our end. In another example, candid laughs and emotional tears are some of the best images from the day. Unfortunately, they can also yield some unflattering facial expressions. We might snap a few extras of any of these moments to make sure we have a great shot with the ideal expression for the moment. With our expertise of processing hundreds of images each year, we may eliminate ones that we feel are duplicates and only deliver the best one.
Do you offer digital files and can I print them myself?
All packages include all edited images in high resolution digital files. This also includes a personal print release that allows you full printing rights. You can also order professional lab prints through your online gallery a la carte.
Portrait and family sessions are delivered within 2 weeks, with special events and weddings being delivered within 6 weeks. Keep an eye out on Facebook and Instagram for sneak peaks!
Can I post my images on social media?
Of course! I do ask that you credit me as the photographer when posting online, a little shout out goes a long way for me :) Also, if you do post, DO NOT alter the photos in any way with any filters or crop the photos. I spend a lot of time perfecting each and every photos J!
Can we give you a photo check list of ideas we like? How will you know what we want?
You can absolutely give us a photo check list if you have one, and if you don’t, we’ll spend a lot of time working with you making sure we’ve gone over all of the shots that are important to you, and guiding you through this process. We love when clients want to add their own creativity to a session.
