WHAT TO EXPECT: During a full photo session, you'll be allotted a 1-hour-long session in the morning or afternoon. If you have a particular location you'd like to use, we will meet there (within reason, aka photography is allowed without a permit and taking photos there will not impose on the work/duties/lives of others) or if you don't have a preference, I can help you decide on a place using the style or theme of your photos for reference. I'll receive the participation fee at the end of the session.
After the session ends, within 2 days, you'll receive an email with a link for you to choose your photos. You'll have 7 days to make your selection.*** After the photo selection has been made, I'll edit the photos and you'll receive an email within 14 days from that time with a link to download your photos.
Example Timeline:
7/1: Photo Session
7/1-7/3: Receive a link to select photos.
7/3-7/10: Select photos you want to be edited.
7/10-7/24: Photos are edited and you receive a link to the digital downloads.
7/31: Receive a donation receipt.*

NOTES:
* 100% of the proceeds goes to SORA Animal Shelter and donations will be made on July 31 and August 31 to avoid multiple transaction fees that can lessen the amount the NPO receives.
** Limited editing is defined as basic edits like light and shadow correction and small blemish removal. I am unable to change things in the background, peoples faces, stray hairs, apparel, combine two photos, or add additional people or objects.
*** If no selection is made by the deadline, I will choose the objectively best photos on your behalf.
