Thank you for your patience ladies!
Just a reminder for why sometimes it’s takes a little time to get your gallery back. At most sessions I take several hundreds of photos, sometimes even into the thousands for longer sessions or events. I then have to upload them into my editing software and go through them one by one to select the best of the bunch. Then I go through and edit each photo by hand making sure the lighting and colors are right, and that there are no distracting details in the background. Then I carefully remove clothing wrinkles, blemishes, etc and make sure the final product that you receive is one you will feel excited about posting or printing. It is pretty typical for me to be editing at least five sessions per week. Once I have all the images ready, I have to upload them into your galleries and send them out. This does not include any of the networking, advertising, emails, posting on socials, fielding inquiries, sending out invoices or any other time-consuming business related activities that I have to do every day to run a small business.
I know some photographers slap a preset on every image or rely on AI and call it a day, but part of what you are paying ME for is my attention to detail and specific editing artistry and style. 
For this reason, I typically try to schedule you several weeks before you actually need your photos back. That way I have enough time to get them to you and still have them be of a quality I am proud of. Need them rushed? I’m happy to bump you to the front of the line for an additional fee.
You also may not know this about me, but I am a woman of many hats! I’m also a sports/cheer Mom, a homeschool Mom, a farm Mom, a Sunday school teacher, and AHG troop leader, and a wife who struggles with several invisible illnesses that can sometimes slow me down more than I would like. I am never not working.
So if you are thinking about messaging me and asking if your photos are ready before this 2 week mark, I can assure you that if they were, you would have them already because I have likely been up until probably 2AM every morning drinking copious amounts of coffee and stressing about them even more than you are 😂. In 10 years I have never forgotten to deliver a gallery or had anyone come back and tell me they were not happy with their photos. Please trust the process 🫶🏻
That being said, I do understand and share in your excitement, and I appreciate every ounce of grace you can give me, especially coming into busy season!
