Capturing Family Moments: What to Expect with Your Final Gallery
Family sessions are always a joy to photograph, capturing the love, connection, and unique dynamics of each family. During a typical session, I often capture over 1,000 images, ensuring that every important moment and interaction is documented. Here’s what you can expect in terms of your final gallery delivery and the meticulous process that goes into curating and editing your photos.

Final Gallery Delivery
Timeline: Your final gallery will be delivered within 3-4 weeks. This timeframe allows me to carefully select and edit the best images from your session, ensuring that each photo meets my high standards of quality. If you would like to add rush delivery to your package, please let me know, and we can arrange for your photos to be delivered as quickly as possible.

Rush Delivery Option
Need Your Photos Sooner? For families who wish to have their photos delivered sooner, I offer a rush delivery option. For an additional $200, your photos will be prioritized, and you will be first in line to receive your final gallery.

Curating the Best Shots: From the hundreds of photos taken, I will curate the very best images. This includes photos of the whole family together, kids with grandparents, each family unit, kids by themselves, couples photos.


Editing Process: Each selected image will undergo a detailed editing process. This includes applying my special filter, softening skin, and removing distractions with Photoshop. Specific edits include stray hair and blemish removal and wrinkle reduction. Your final gallery will include over 100 edited images, each crafted to highlight the best moments of your session.

Retouching and Approvals
Included Retouches: Each family session includes 25 photo retouches. This ensures that any specific edits you need are taken care of, making your photos even more special. Once your gallery is ready, you will have the opportunity to review it and let me know if I missed anything or if you have specific requests, such as converting certain photos to black and white.
