Choose your images from the comfort of your armchair
Once you have had your photo shoot we send you a link (usually the next day) of all the images taken during your shoot as small low resolution copies.
In your own time you can look through and select which images you would like edited and subtly digitally enhanced and sent back to you as high resolotion jpeg files along with smaller copies for social media if you need them.
