Can you send us the "raw" pictures?
→ Nope!
1. I literally shoot in a “RAW” format on my camera to retain better details especially when editing.
2. You’re hiring me for the photos you see on here which are my fully edited, finished work with nice and crisp colors and quality.
→ Giving the “raw”, unedited photos is like a chef giving you an unseasoned, bland dish. So please trust me & the process!
When is the best time to take photos?
→ Lighting is typically best around sunrise and sunset. Season, location, and weather come into play for lighting as well!
