• Edited images are without any logo’s or water marks
• Print do not have any logo’s.
• Unedited images do not have any logo’s or watermarks.
• Logo Policy for Images Taken Prior to Jan 1, 2021
  • All edited images will have our logo in either black or white colour within the digital photograph. The position of the logo is in one of the 4 corners of the photograph.
  • The logo position cannot be chosen by clients and neither will the position be changed once the images are edited.
  • In the client form you can choose to purchase images without logos. If you select that option, images will be provided to you without any logos.

• Unedited Images– File Format JPEG – Long Edge 2048 Pixels – 300 pixels per inch – Approximate File Size 2MB
• Edited Images– File Format JPEG – The size of such images depend on the camera we use. Generally, these files are over 15MB in size so you could print a 24inch posters from such files without any quality loss.
• Camera RAW images are only given to clients as part of an advertising or commercial photoshoot. Incase you want Camera RAW images you will need to purchase the Image Copyrights while filling out the shoot booking form.

• If you are looking for a photographer to take 100′s of pictures in every set then that’s not us. We strive to focus our efforts on quality of edited images rather than quantity of delivered images. We believe that a handful of stunning edited images is much better than hundreds of images.
• Keeping the above in mind, every package of ours has a pre-defined number of edited images. It is our endeavour to provide you these handful of edited images that will be the quality images that we focus to deliver
• During a shoot we may click images that look similar or are continuous shots. We will deliver all these images as part of the selection images so that you, as a parent, can select the best expression that you like from such a series.
• The objective of giving the client the original images from the shoot is only to help them select the best images they like from the set of images. The original images should not be treated as a deliverable as their purpose is to only help identify the final product, i.e. the edited images from the shoot.
• Original images are not edited in any way shape or form. They are only cropped to remove unnecessary elements, if any, from the corners.
• We do not recommend using the original images for any other purpose that what they are recommended for, i.e. for selecting the images to edit.

• Our photo retouching process is limited to the following
  • Color Correction
  • Light Correction
  • Basic Skin Retouching
• We do not take requests for
  • photo manipulations or background replacements
  • making changes to the actual physical appearance of the subjects we photograph
  • adding additional elements to a photograph
  • applying digital makeup, fixing hair, changing hair colour, removal of body hair.
• The package you select will also contains prints. While we recommend that prints are selected from retouched images, we do leave the decision up to the client to select if they want to print images that are not retouched.
  • Selecting print images that are not in your retouch list will not increase your count of images to retouch.
  • As an example, if your package contains 10 retouched images and 2 prints, your total number of retouched images is 10 (and not 10+2)
• There are certain instances where you might ask us to choose the best images for editing. In such a scenario we wish to inform you that “Best” is very subjective. We encourage clients to select the images themselves. However, in cases where clients request us to select the “best” images, our selection will be final.

• Once you have made your selection of images and provided it to us, we will deliver the edited images within 3 weeks. As an example, if you send us the images on the 1st, the images go for editing on the 2nd and they come back in 3 weeks from the 2nd, i.e. 23rd
• For multiple session shoots (example maternity + newborn or grow with me) you are required to submit the list for editing immediately after the session is done. If you submit the editing list of all sessions after the final session it will take longer to get the images edited. The duration in such a scenario will depend on the number of images to edit in all sessions.

We will have a discussion about clothing during our pre-shoot consultation. Listed below, are general guidelines to help you getting started with thinking about the process.

• We ask that everyone bring at between 4 and 6 different options for clothing. Number of custumes will depend on the package you take.
• We do not provide clothes for infant & children due to hygiene concerns
• People always ask me what colours are best and I really don’t have an answer for that. It’s better for me to get a visual of something, so I suggest bringing a wide variety of colours; especially for kids photography.
• Don’t be seasonal; everything from t-shirts, tank tops to sweaters and light jackets can work. I love textures and layers, but would generally stay away from crazy patterns and large logos (unless the shot demands that look).
• If it’s not in the studio we can’t shoot it, so if you find yourself questioning whether or not something will work just bring it along.
• Here are some basic rules to clothing.
  • Rule #1: You have to love it! I don’t want to shoot anything that you don’t feel comfortable wearing.
  • Rule #2: If you don’t feel comfortable in it, you won’t shoot well while wearing it.
  • Rule #3: Remember, be yourself because this is where you can get some of your own personal style into the shot.
