Editing:
At Capture A Moment
Photography, we strive to capture you in the most flattering light and in a way
that makes us all happy. While we are more then willing to do a small
amount of editing to help correct issues that cannot be helped such as
acne or a scratch (because that ALWAYS happens before a shoot), we are unable
to offer further creative photoshopping within our session fee (beyond what we
have already done prior to delivery). If you have images that you would
like to have photoshopped in a more creative manner or more extensive editing
required (if it is possible) to improve your appearance or add a more artistic
look, there will be a per image fee to be paid prior to the edits being
completed. We send invoices/quotes for these charges and they are payable
via Credit Card, Check or Cash. We believe that the best images are those
captured naturally and our fees do not include the time it takes to go beyond a typical amount of necessary editing. All prints ordered are fully edited prior to any print orders being placed. Custom cropping is available and requests are honored where possible as to maintain print aspect ratio and creative vision.

General Questions:
What
if my session is scheduled outside and its raining?
We do not want to be out
in messy Michigan weather any more than you do! If we encounter inclement
weather, we will either offer to move your session to our studio, or reschedule
your session and hope for better weather next time.
How
long does it take before I can see my photos?
During peak times, we may be taking 2-3 weeks to edit and schedule your delivery meeting. We do the best we can to get them to you sooner. If you have an urgent need, please make arrangements at the time of your consultation.
Can
I request a re-shoot?
If there is some technical failure that would require a re-shoot, be assured that we would be the first ones to offer that option when we deliver your gallery. Should you not “like” your images due to no technical fault on our behalf, you may request a re-shoot. Re-shoots requested by the client are will be offered at a 25% discount off the regular session fee, and all original images from the prior session will be forfeited. Said re-shoots will require pre-payment, and any applicable permit fees.
Will
my images be shared?
All images are property
of Capture a Moment Photography, LLC and may be added to our website, used in
advertising or printed for hanging in our studio. Should you not wish to
have your images posted, please discuss that with us at the time of your
consultation.
