Whether we meet for the stunning Smithsonian magnolias, the beautiful pink cherry blossoms, or the live bunny sessions, here is what happens next with your photos!
Volume & Velocity: You’ll receive a gallery of 20-30+ images. I’ve mastered the art of the 10-minute Washington DC mini session, meaning we get the shot before the kids (or that pesky partner) gets bored or the bunny hops away.
Quick Turnaround: Your photos will be ready in ~2 weeks (much faster than Congress moves).
Natural Editing: All images get a light, natural retouch.
Digital Freedom: Purchase the Deluxe Gallery to download high-res files for printing and web-sized files for making your friends jealous on social media.
Print from the Couch: Order pro quality prints right from the gallery, pick them up at your door.
The Storybook: Turn your DC spring photos into a tangible keepsake for $295 (Deluxe) or $395 (Petite). Includes the gallery files!
Fine Art Art: Elevate your home decor with a Fine Art Floating Frame (11x14) for $275.
Gallery Access: Your link works for at least a year.
