How your gallery works

What a proof is

Every image in your gallery is a proof — a working version, sized for the screen and carrying a light watermark. Proofs exist to do one job: help you find the frames that are truly you. They are not the finished photograph, and they are not meant to be used anywhere yet. Think of them as contact sheets — the honest middle of the process.

What your session included

Your session fee covered the studio time, the lighting, the direction and coaching, and the full gallery you are browsing now. That is real work and it is already paid for — which is why the gallery is yours to sit with, revisit, and share the link to, with no clock running.

What a purchased image is

When an image stops you, select it. Each selected image is retouched by hand — skin, light, color, and the small corrections nobody can name but everyone feels — and then delivered to you at full resolution with no watermark, ready for your website, your headshot, your profile, your billboard. That finished file is yours to use however you like, forever. It is $130 per retouched image, and you choose them right inside the gallery.

About screenshots

We would rather say this plainly than bury it. Screenshotting a proof — or editing the watermark out of one — is taking work that has not been paid for. It is also, honestly, the worse version of you: a low-resolution, unretouched, marked-up file standing in for a photograph we would be proud to put your name on.

If budget is the thing standing between you and an image you love, tell us. We would much rather find a way than have you walk around the internet as a screenshot.

Sharing with people you love

Please do. Send your partner, your mum, your group chat, your whole team the gallery link (and the PIN, if yours has one) and let them weigh in — second opinions make for better choices, and we love watching a favorite emerge. Sharing the link is exactly right; sharing a screenshot as a finished photo is the part that is not.
