The Photographer retains the copyright to all images taken during the session. The Client receives a non-exclusive license to use the images for personal and non-commercial purposes. In the case of requiring commercial use and/or rights release, the Client must inform the Photographer to reach a suitable agreement for both parties.

Editing Scope: Our editing services are limited to basic adjustments, such as skin retouching and color correction. We do not add elements to photos, alter body shapes, change skin tones, or modify clothing.
Advanced Editing: We offer more complex edits for a limited number of photos at an additional cost. Please contact us for a personalized quote if you require advanced editing services.
10. Photo Quality Considerations:
Representation of Reality: Photography captures the reality of the moment. Weather conditions such as cloudy skies, rain, or wind can affect the quality of the photos. If wind is forecasted, we recommend choosing an appropriate hairstyle, especially for individuals with long hair, to avoid issues.
Environmental Factors: Factors such as atmospheric pollution can reduce the sharpness and contrast of photographs. Additionally, the time of day and the position of the sun may affect lighting and shadows in the images.
Client Preparation: We recommend clients consider these factors when planning a photoshoot and be prepared for the conditions present at the time of the session.
11. Family Sessions Policy:
Working with Children: We treat children with patience and care during photoshoots. However, the care and behavior of the children are the full responsibility of their parents or guardians during the session.
Adult Responsibilities: To ensure an enjoyable and productive experience, we encourage adults to assist and supervise the children throughout the session.
Clothing and Coordination: We recommend families coordinate their outfits in advance, avoiding overly bold patterns or colors that might distract from the main focus of the photograph.
12.Delivery Times:
Standard Delivery Time: Our standard delivery time is 15 business days after the client selects their photos.
Delayed Selection: If the client takes more than two weeks to select their photos, the delivery time may be extended depending on our workload at that time.
