Editing and Delivery

What is your editing process?

The editing process is essential to great photography. I take my time with editing and make sure I do it well. I use Adobe Lightroom to edit all of my photos. I go through all the photos I’ve taken, select the best shots and bring them over to Lightroom. Then, I’ll go through each photo from the selected batch to enhance lighting and colors. I’ll then apply customized styles and refine both background and foreground elements. I use masks to manually fine-tune lighting in specific photos where necessary for the best post editing product.

How long does it take to receive the edited photos?

Typically, I aim to deliver edited photos within a week or two, but factors such as my schedule and the quantity of photos may affect the delivery date. If there’s an anticipated delay beyond a few weeks, I’ll make sure to communicate this during our call.

Described as highly creative, my expertise lies in events and portraits, where I excel in bringing out the unique essence of each moment. However, I am versatile and adept at adapting to different styles based on my clients’ preferences.

Usage Rights and Print Release

What rights will I have to the photos?

Upon the completion of the photo session and delivery of the edited photos, you will receive personal usage rights to the images. This includes the right to print, share on social media, and use the photos for personal purposes. However, the copyright of the images remains with me as the photographer. If there are specific use cases or commercial purposes, we can discuss licensing options to accommodate your needs. I aim to ensure that you have the flexibility to enjoy and use the photos while respecting the rights associated with my creative work.

Can I print the photos myself, or do I have to order through you?

Rescheduling and Cancellation

What is your rescheduling policy?

For rescheduling, I kindly request that you provide at least a 5-day notice if any changes need to be made to the agreed-upon date and time. This allows for adjustments to be made without any inconvenience. If unforeseen circumstances arise within the 5-day window, I’ll do my best to accommodate and find an alternative date that works for both of us.

The specific fee details can be found in the terms and conditions provided upon booking, and it’s always best to discuss any concerns or potential cancellations directly to find an amicable solution.

How flexible are you with changing dates?

This allows for better coordination and increases the likelihood of finding a suitable alternative date. However, I’m open to discussing individual situations and will do my best to accommodate changes within reasonable bounds.
