The session is done, everyone held it together, and now you are wondering what comes next. Here is exactly what happens after your family photography session at my Everett studio, from seeing your images for the first time to receiving your finished prints and digital files at home.

When Will You See Your Photos

You will see your images the same day as your session. Before you leave the studio, we sit down together for an image viewing and ordering appointment. I walk you through your photos, help you identify your favorites, and answer any questions about products and packages while everything is right in front of you.

Most families find that choosing images while they are still in the moment, with the experience fresh and the emotion still present, feels completely different from receiving a gallery link a few weeks later and sorting through it alone at home. For families searching for a family photographer in Everett WA with same-day image viewing, this is exactly how my studio works. Plan for approximately 30 minutes after your session for the viewing appointment.

Can You Purchase Additional Digital Files or Prints

Yes. Every session includes a set number of digital files depending on the package you chose, and additional images are available to purchase individually starting at $25 each. There is no minimum order and no pressure to buy beyond what you actually want.

Beyond digital files, I offer a full range of professional print products that can be ordered during your same-day viewing appointment. Loose prints, framed prints, canvas prints, metal prints, engraved wooden print boxes, and custom albums are all available in a variety of sizes. Samples of every product are on display in the studio so you can see and hold the finished quality before you decide. If you are weighing your options between digital files and wall art after a family portrait session in Snohomish County, I am happy to walk you through what makes sense for your home and your budget.

Retouching/Editing

Yes. Every image I deliver includes basic editing: color correction, exposure, and crop. For families who want a little more, I also offer additional retouching for minor touch-ups such as blemish removal. If there is something specific you would like addressed in one or more of your images, just let me know at your viewing appointment and I can let you know what is possible and what that looks like in terms of timing and cost.

My editing approach is to make your family look like your family on a great day, not to change how anyone looks in a fundamental way. The goal is always images that feel true to who you are rather than overly processed.

How Will You Receive Your Final Images

Digital files are delivered through a private online gallery. Once your order is processed, you will receive a link that allows you to download and share your purchased images easily. The gallery is a clean, simple experience that works well whether you are saving files to a computer, sharing with family members, or sending to a print lab of your choice.

Prints, albums, and wall art are fulfilled through a professional print lab and shipped directly to your home. Print fulfillment timelines vary depending on the product, and I will give you a realistic estimate at your ordering appointment so you know when to expect everything to arrive.
