"I have had a couple of sessions with Claire now and she is always a pleasure to work with! We truly love our memories that she captured."
-Sarah P.
*HINT* This is an interactive stack of photographs!
-
How many photos do I get?Regular sessions include 30+ photos.
-
Is a print release included in your packages?I don’t include a print release with my packages — instead, east package includes a print credit for high-quality professional print options once your gallery is complete to ensure your images look their absolute best in print. Printing through me guarantees accurate color, sharpness, and longevity, which typical consumer labs can’t always provide. I want your images to be just as beautiful on your walls as they are on your screen — and that level of quality is something I personally stand behind. That said, you’ll still have full digital rights to share online and keep your images forever!
