RESHOOTING

Once we have begun shooting I will make a point to show you the images we are getting as we go along to make sure you are happy with the outcome. I may also ask you to indicate which images you "love" by rating them, this gives me an idea of what your preferences are. If you end off your session with me, happy with your images, but then get home and look over your images once delivered and still aren't happy with them, not because of photographer error, but because of style or look or other factors beyond the photographers control, I will gladly rebook you at 1/2 the price of your original session. If all you need is a ONE shot retake, that will be rebooked for free.
