The The Photographer will make proof gallery available in an online gallery in 2-4 weeks after the session has been photographed. Once the Client has made the selection of their images it will take up 24 hours to deliver the images in a downloadable gallery without photographers watermark. Unless the client has requested any further edits to be made. 

If a situation where edits are requested it can take up to another 2 weeks to complete these edits depending on the complexity. The photographer has the right to charge a fee per image depending on the complexity of the editing request. 

All photos available to the Client online are licensed for the Client’s personal use only. The Client only holds the right to print images, or to use the images for social media purposes. The images downloaded are of highest resolution. Often social media outlets compress files, and as a result this often affects the quality of the images. 

Once the Client has made their selection of the digital images that are included in their package, a second link will be provided to the Client for downloading purposes. The Client will have the option to purchase prints through your photographer or to purchase extra digital images at $20 per image or upgrade to the full gallery package.
