Every photo session is unique. On average you will receive approximately 15-30 images per hour of photography coverage. The images delivered all depend on several factors such as if multiple locations are required, outfit changes necessary, time spent styling product shots and other factors. We carefully go through all the images taken and remove all the photos that have awkward moments (blinking eyes) test shots and repetitive images.

Tiny prints and lines that can create a vibrate effect in an image. Be sure to think of all the details. Your shoes. Your finger nails (trim, moisturize, keep it natural or add a pop of color if that is your style). If you’re still unsure, shoot me a message and I’d be happy to discuss your options with you!
