RECEIVING PHOTOS:
For regular sessions, you will receive your images via WeTransfer and release. For weddings, you will receive a gallery of images and a release. It is advisable to download and save all images to your device once you access the gallery. I would save the images in a folder or your computer device or onto a flash/hard drive 2 GB or larger.

Please click here see the session tips drop-down under FAQ for tips for various sessions and weddings.
ARCHIVE:
Photos are kept in my system for three months before deletion. The gallery is available for up to 10 years before it is permanently deleted. It is best to download all images when receiving the gallery onto your computer device.
PRINTS:
For an additional cost, you can purchase high-quality professional prints. Prints can be purchased through the online gallery. If you order through the gallery, delivery will take 4-10 days. Prints can also be ordered at other printing places, but if you print them elsewhere other than the gallery, please remember to bring a copy of the release form with you as the associates may ask for it. The largest print size you can typically print is 16x20 or 20x24, depending.

TAKE THIS INTO CONSIDERATION:
When booking a photographer, think about everything that comes into photography. Photography isn't just about taking photos; it's also about time (session and editing), education, and experience. Photography equipment, studio and space rental, materials, coming up with ideas, poses, settings, taxes, etc.
