Yes basic skin retouching is included. For extra retouching (color Changes, head swaps, tattoo removable) extra charges may apply
After your session we’ll schedule your In-Person ‘Reveal’ ordering appointment (typically 1-2 weeks after your session). This is where you’ll return to the studio to preview a beautiful slideshow of your portraits, see the various products offered, select your favorite portraits and place your order.
We're committed to preserving your story and believe the most rewarding part of your session is to be able to have your beautiful portraits displayed in your home. I also understand how important it is for you to have those digital files, so I offer a set of digital files in each of the collections along with a signed print release.
No we do not give Raw images.
We have a pet free studio and do not allow any pets on the premises.
This depends on what you are ordering. Most orders take around 2 weeks, however retouching may add time in delivery. We will let you know your estimated delivery time at the time of your ordering appointment.
Yes you can. We can only guarantee holding images for 30 days, however we store our images on backups and usually can go back quite some time on image files.
Yes we do, you bring the cake. Our style is timeless, we will decorate using the colors from your theme. We do not use colorful backgrounds or themed backgrounds. At the time of your booking, please let us know the colors/theme that you would like to use in your child's cake smash. This helps us with your setup (balloons, props, etc.).
Hair/Make-up is not included but we can recommend local make-up artists and hair stylist.
We ask that all clients email or call within 24-48 hours of having your baby. Most babies are booked anywhere from 8-10 or even 12 or 14 days depending on the baby's weight. Letting us know when you have your baby early enough allows rooms for re scheduling and adjusting.
