DIGITAL PHOTO DELIVERY

​

You will receive an email within 2 business days containing a link to download all your high-resolution, JPEG, watermark-free digital files. (Be sure to check your junk/spam folder just in case.)

Once you've downloaded and saved the photos to your computer, you can select your favorite images based on the number of edits included in your chosen package. Please reply to the same email with the last 4 digits of each selected photo file.

Our team will confirm receipt, and your edited photos will be delivered within two weeks.

Please note: All of our packages include digital files only—no hard copy prints are included. You are free to print and enlarge your photos as you wish.

​

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

To manage storage capacity, we keep all unedited photo files for 3 months from the date of your session. During this time, you must select your favorite images for editing. After the 3-month period, we will no longer be able to accept your selections or process edits.

Your edited photos will be stored for 1 year. If you haven’t downloaded or saved them—or if they are lost for any reason—we cannot guarantee their availability after that time.

PRICES
Prices are subject to change at any time. Quoted rates are valid for 7 days, unless your session is booked and the deposit is received under previously agreed pricing.

​

​Everyone values their dedicated time, and our schedule is carefully managed to respect each booking. Studio appointments are strict, and due to our back-to-back sessions, we’re unable to extend your time if you arrive late. Please be sure to arrive on time so you can enjoy your full session without any interruptions.

​

Damage and Cleaning:

​

• During winter and rainy days, all clients and guests must wear indoor shoes to help keep the studio floors clean and photography-ready. If you do not bring indoor shoes, you will be kindly asked to remove your shoes before entering the studio space. Thank you for your understanding and respect.  ​

• Please do not step on the furniture with shoes. During fall and winter months, we ask that you wear indoor shoes or shoe covers inside the studio rooms. If you plan to take photos in your outdoor shoes, you will be asked to wipe them down before entering.

• Candles are not permitted in the studio unless they are enclosed in glass coverings. Open flame candles can cause damage and pose safety risks. If you require candles for your session, please email or call us in advance for special permission.

• Any damages to floors, furniture, props, V-Flats, or other studio equipment (including extensions) during your session will need to be reimbursed.

  • Broken furniture leg: $200
