A Sneak Peek is a small preview selection of edited images delivered shortly after your event. It gives you an early look at your photos while the full gallery is being carefully edited.

An Extended Gallery allows you to receive more professionally edited images beyond what’s included in your package. It’s a great option if you’d like a broader collection of moments from your session.

A second photographer provides additional coverage from different angles, captures simultaneous moments, and helps ensure no key details are missed. This is especially valuable during timelines with overlapping moments, or celebrations with multiple locations.

Retouch Editing includes detailed refinements such as blemish removal, light skin smoothing, cleanup, and minor distractions—while maintaining a natural, realistic look. This goes beyond standard color and exposure adjustments.

This premium delivery option includes your edited images provided on a custom-engraved USB drive, housed in a personalized engraved keepsake box designed for long-term storage and gifting. The images themselves are not engraved.

A Quinceañera Pre-Shoot is a 1 hour portrait session scheduled before the main celebration. It allows for relaxed, creative photos—often in formal attire—without the time pressure of the event day. These images are perfect for invitations, decorations, and keepsakes.

Absolutely! Pets are welcome in Portrait sessions as long as it’s discussed in advance.
