CommunicationI use email,
helcom56@gmail.com, so everything is in writing and we're always on the same page.
I reply as quickly as I can.
Turnaround timeEdited photos arrive within 7–10 business days after your shoot (not counting the shoot day). Weddings may need more time.
ContractYou'll receive a contract with all key terms and conditions.
Editing styleI edit naturally, with true-to-life colors, and I don't reshape bodies. I don't retouch every image: for selected best shots, I may remove distractions such as litter or people in the background.
RAW filesI shoot in RAW, which iPhones can't open and which takes a lot of storage, so I don't provide RAW files. You receive your best images, fully edited, as high-quality JPEGs.
Exclusive buyout licenseFull or nearly full usage rights to a photo are available for a one-time fee of $450. Once purchased, the image can be permanently removed from sale and won't be available to anyone else.
Proposal videoFor key moments such as a proposal, I may also record a short video on a phone attached to my camera. It's a candid keepsake, not professional video.
Deposit and cancellationA 30% deposit reserves your session. It's non-refundable if you cancel within one week of the shoot, because that time is held for you and I've already begun preparing ideas and references.
Photo storageI keep your gallery for about one month after delivery. Please download your photos and back them up on several devices or in cloud storage.
