After your Session

How long will it take for my photos to be edited? 

Typically around 2 weeks. If you need to see them sooner, please let me know when you schedule your session. In the busiest seasons it can take up to 3 weeks.

What retouching will be done to my photos? 

General editing: I will always edit away blemishes, bruises and scratches. I may lessen the appearance of pock-marks, shaving scars and mild acne scars. Extreme scarring may be smoothed, but not removed as it would dramatically alter the person's appearance. Skin will be smoothed a bit so that it looks naturally soft. Under-eye circles are removed or lightened on adults per my discretion so that it looks natural. I generally leave laugh lines. Generally, my job is to make the images the best they can and make your heart smile when you see them.

On newborns, I will lessen the appearance of stork bites, clean up goopy eyes, and remove peeling skin on the face. I do not edit away: 
• Umbilical cords or scabs inside the belly button (please let me know before your session if you would like the belly button area hidden/covered), 
• Mongolian spots
• Hemangiomas
• Birth defects (Please discuss with me any concerns before your session).
• Peeling/flaking hands and feet (I may remove some, but not all, per my discretion. Please massage Aquaphor on your baby prior to your session if this is a concern).
• My goal with newborns is to document their newness. This does sometimes mean sweet pealy skin.

How do I see the photos after my session? 

When I have completed the editing process I will contact you, usually via email with your photos. You will receive a code to download the the images and a print release.  I can print photos for you on professional paper if you desire.  Otherwise, I recommend printing at MPIX.com

When is payment due?

I request a 50% deposit to book your session, final payment to be made at the session.

I accept all major credit cards, including American Express and Discover. I use square processing for all credit payments.
