Do I get the copyright/ownership of my photos?
As the photographer, I retain the copyright and ownership of the photos I capture during our session. Copyright laws automatically grant photographers the exclusive rights to reproduce, distribute, and display their work.
However, I understand the importance of clients being able to enjoy and share their photos. As part of my photography services, I grant you a personal usage license. This license allows you to use and display the photos for personal purposes, such as printing, sharing on social media, or displaying them in your home.
It's important to note that the personal usage license does not grant you the right to sell or commercially exploit the photos without my written consent. If you have any specific commercial usage needs or would like to discuss licensing options, please let me know, and we can explore the possibilities together.
I believe in transparency and respect for your personal privacy. Rest assured that I will not use your photos for any promotional or commercial purposes without obtaining your explicit consent.

How much retouching do you do?
When it comes to retouching, my approach is to keep things as natural as possible.
I believe in capturing the authentic beauty of each individual, and I aim to enhance your natural features rather than altering them. I will carefully edit the images to ensure they are polished and visually appealing while maintaining your unique essence.
My goal is to create photographs that reflect your true self and evoke genuine emotions.
Rest assured that I will handle the retouching process with great care and attention to detail, always striving for a natural and timeless result.
Can I request additional images beyond the initial package?
We are always pleased when clients express a keen interest in the full breadth of work from their sessions.
If you find yourself curious to uncover more of the moments we've captured, there is certainly the option to delve back into the raw images.
It's important to understand that this process is more than just a simple revisit; it involves a thorough sorting to identify additional images that live up to the standards of the initial selection. Each image is then given attention to ensure it meets the high-quality finish you expect. Editing does not necessarily imply extensive alterations; it can be as straightforward as straightening an angle or cropping to enhance composition.
However, these tasks are still part of a professional workflow that demands time and expertise. Recognizing the additional effort required, this service is offered as an add-on, with a transparent quotation provided. This ensures that you are fully informed and can make a choice that aligns with your expectations and needs.
