The question every client wonders after a photo session: where are my photos? Whether you have just had your maternity session, newborn session, or family photos taken, I want you to know exactly what happens once we wrap up the shoot. As your Edmonton family photographer, my goal is to make the process clear and stress-free so you know exactly when you can expect your images.

Step One: Preparing Your Proofs

In the days following your shoot, I begin preparing your proofs. Proofs are the unedited versions of your images, lightly adjusted for viewing purposes, and watermarked to protect my work. Think of them as your first look, a preview of the story we captured together before the final edits bring everything to life.

Within 10 days of your session, you will receive your proof gallery. I keep this turnaround consistent because I know how eager we all are to relive those moments. 

Step Two: Making Your Selections

Once you have received your proof gallery, you will have three business days to make your selections. This is your chance to choose which images feel the most meaningful to you and best reflect your family’s story. I am always happy to offer guidance if you need help narrowing it down. I know it can be tough to decide when every photo tells part of your story.

Step Three: Editing and Final Delivery

Once your selections are in, I move into the editing process. This is where the artistry happens, bringing out the depth, warmth, and emotion in each image while keeping them authentic and natural.

Your final gallery will typically be delivered within three to four weeks of your selections. This includes your finished photographs and, if your package included a film, your completed video as well. Everything will be delivered in a beautiful online gallery, ready to download, share, and enjoy for years to come.

As an experienced and dedicated Edmonton family photographer, I want you to feel confident that the images you receive are not only beautiful but also timeless, and something you will treasure for decades.

Why This Process Matters

Editing is not just about brightening colors or smoothing skin. It is about carefully crafting each photo so it becomes part of your family’s legacy. I want you to not only like your photos but to feel deeply connected to them every time you see them hanging on your walls or in your album.
