Choosing the final Images:
As an artist, it is the photographer's job to choose the final images that will be presented to the client and added to the photographer's portfolio. During a photo shoot you will hear many shutter clicks, and afterward it may seem like you are only receiving a fraction of what you heard me take. The reason for this is that I am constantly making as many adjustments as possible to make sure I can get photos with no blinking eyes, no crazy flying hair, good lighting, and great in-camera settings. Although these images are a necessary part of the process of making in-camera art, they are only rough drafts. We may try a variety of different poses and backgrounds, but only use some of those images. The reason for that is to be able to find the ones that worked the best. The images I capture are all in what is called raw color format, so adjustments still need to be made after the image is downloaded to my computer. When looking at all of the images from the shoot, I look for the images that are the best- the real works of art. Once those shots have been accumulated, I take them through two different editing software and spend a great deal of time working on them to correct any imperfections and make the image up to my artistic standards.
Unfortunately, I do not release any images that are not included with my set of final images, because they were not created or intended to be final products- they were there to help work out the kinks in order to ensure you received quality images.

Image Sharing / Copyright
All images shared online by the client or third party must give the photographer credit. Once the image is taken, the photographer owns the copywrights to the image. Even after the photo shoot is paid for, the photographer still posesses the copywrights of the images and is able to use them at his/her will. The client has the right to print these photographs for their own personal use or as an invitation/announcement. If the client would like a high-quality image or a canvas printed, they will need the large, high-quality file that the photographer posseses (unless they purchased the large digital files) and must go through the photographer to order the item.
