FAQS
Q. WHAT HAPPENS AFTER MY SESSION?
A. After your portrait experience I will contact you with a link to view your online gallery. This normally takes place a week after your session.

You will see a handpicked selection of 30 images from your session and decide which ones you would like to keep. These will be available to purchase at additional cost in a variety of formats.
