What’s included?

  • Each client will receive a style guide and session styling best practices in their confirmation email. Please let me know if you have trouble locating this link and I would be happy to share it directly.

  • I will give direction for location and posing during your session. However, once I have you in the right area, you are welcome to move around and go with it. My poses are only suggestions and never required. If you ever feel uncomfortable, please inform me and I am happy to adjust.

  • The post processing included with your session fee is primarily manipulating light, color and basic edits that creates the Amber Renea brand and style. However, if you would like further touchups, I offer retouching at starting at $5 per image. This can include fixing a wardrobe issue, soothing out wrinkles, adjusting a neck or swapping heads from another image in the same grouping. The final images should not be altered with any additional editing or filters.

  • I use an online gallery service for convenient instant digital download for all my clients. No DVDs, no USB drives. Your images will be available for download for 3 months. If you need your photos re-uploaded, there will be a $25 fee. I will keep your images for no longer than a year. You are responsible for keeping your files backed up in multiple locations. I highly recommend a couple flash drives stored in a fireproof safe or the cloud.

  • You are welcome to print for personal use. However, if you wish to publish my work I require written permission for a commercial license. If possible, I ask that you can run credit in a byline. Thank you for your consideration.

    •Additional locations

    •Additional photoshop requests

  • I have never had a complaint with how many photos I include with your session. Generally, if the photo is good, I will include it. You will have a wide range of options for each “posed” set, because my favorite, might not be your favorite and I get that.

    But because I tend to deliver a lot of photos, they might not all be “touched up” for any bumps, bruises or skin smoothing. (On that note, my lens is very forgiving) Desire for additional photoshop and editing will fall to my clients request. I prefer natural, real photos— and I am happy to manipulate it as much as you would like. Never hurts to ask! I do have some magical photoshop skills.

    After I deliver the album, simply create a favorites list for additional edits and I will give you a quote for time to take care of your requests depending on how extensive they are. Most additional edit requests for minor fixes(skin smoothing, eye bags etc..) are reasonably around $20 for the album. Clothing fixes, double chins or slimming manipulation is in the $25-$75 per photo depending on how extensive the request.

    I include 1 free face swap with every album to get that favorite traditional photo of everyone looking.
