Absolutely Yes! I will give you digital images fully edited high resolution and ready to print from your sitting with full printing rights.
How many different groupings do you typically photograph in a session?
I shoot different groupings as long as the group lasts. Typically, I start with young kids as they tend to have shorter attention spans. Once we've captured those precious moments, we move on to other groupings, ensuring we capture each dynamic and connection within the family. The priority of the different groupings we will discuss in your consolation so I can make sure I got it all.
