When you book a photo session, you’re not just booking time. You’re booking a complete process.

From planning the location and guiding you during the session, to selecting and editing the final images, everything is designed to give you a gallery that reflects your experience in the best possible way.

Each session includes a curated selection of professionally edited images. These are the photographs that best represent your story, carefully selected and finished.

How Your Gallery Is Created

During a session, many images are taken. Not all of them are meant to be delivered.

My process is designed so that you receive all the images that are strong, relevant, and representative of your experience.

I begin by removing images with technical issues, such as missed focus, closed eyes, or interruptions in the frame. These are not part of the final review.

After that, I edit all remaining images. Every photograph that passes this first step is fully edited before any final selection is made.

From this edited set, I select the images that best represent each moment and scene. If there are more strong images than expected, you will receive them. The number included in your package reflects a minimum, not a limit.

In some situations, such as very crowded environments or challenging conditions, the final gallery may be closer to the minimum. In most cases, you will receive more.

About Additional Images

Because all selected images are already edited and delivered, there are no additional edited images available beyond what you receive in your gallery.

About RAW Files

RAW files are the original, unprocessed files directly from the camera.

These files are not final images and require professional editing to achieve the look you see in my portfolio.

RAW files are available upon request and are delivered with a commercial license. Because they are unedited and fully flexible files, their use is different, and they are priced accordingly.

About Unedited JPEG Images

In addition to RAW files, I also photograph in JPEG format.

If you would like to receive unedited JPEG images, this can be arranged as an add-on called the Digital Archive Collection.

These images are straight from the camera, without editing, and are not representative of the final work delivered in your gallery.

For that reason, they are offered as a separate product, invoiced accordingly, and provided for personal use only.

Why This Matters

The images you see in my work reflect a complete process, from capture to editing.

The final gallery is designed to give you the best possible version of your experience. Any additional material is offered in a different format and with a different purpose.

Your session includes a curated, professionally edited gallery.

You receive all the images that truly represent your experience, and in most cases, more than the minimum included.

If you wish to access additional material, such as RAW files or unedited JPEG images, this is always possible through clearly defined options.

If you have any questions or would like to receive a quote for additional material, please request it within one month of your session. After this period, extra material is no longer stored in the archives.

Everything is designed to keep your experience simple while ensuring the final result reflects the quality of the work.
