Shooting:  

Juodis Photography may end the session at their discretion according to our determination of having captured adequate images both in terms of quality and quantity.

If additional hours are required or requested for your portrait session, they will be billed at $75.00 per hour. Juodis Photography reserves the right to refuse a requested location for any reason.

Editing: 

Online Gallery takes approximately two to four weeks from time of shoot. Express 48h editing may be purchased for $175. All good images will be individually corrected for color balance, density, contrast, etc. There may be light retouching applied to images. Retouching means correcting various elements in an image such as: litter, distracting elements, and minor physical imperfections (bags under eyes, teeth whitening, eyes whitening, clearing of skin, major stray hairs, etc.). We do not change body size, skin color, head swaps and we don’t use digital backgrounds. Juodis Photography is granted total artistic control over the final image and the client understands that these are the steps we will take when referring to retouching. Any requested retouching over that specified above will be billed at $100 per hour.
Due to the large amount of storage space required for digital imaging technology and the large quantity of images created per year Juodis Photography guarantees storage of digital images for 90 days after shooting. After that time Juodis Photography may delete those images at their discretion.
