What to Expect: My 4–6 Week Photography Turnaround Time
If you’re searching for a newborn photographer in Indiana or booking a milestone or family session, one of the first questions you may have is: “How long will it take to receive my photos?”
My standard turnaround time for edited photos is 4–6 weeks after you’ve selected your favorites. After your session, I will send a proofed gallery (meaning unedited photos) for you to make your selections. I know how exciting it is to look forward to your gallery, so I want to share a little behind-the-scenes about why this timeframe is important and what it means for you.
Why Does Professional Photo Editing Take 4–6 Weeks?
As a photographer, I believe in quality over speed. I hand edit photos versus sending them to an editor. Every image goes through a detailed editing process to ensure your photos are polished, timeless, and true to my style. This includes:
• Adjusting lighting and tones for a natural, soft look
• Skin retouching for newborns and families while keeping everything realistic
• Fine-tuning colors so your photos feel warm and consistent
• Ensuring every image tells your unique story
This process takes time, but it’s what makes your gallery something you’ll cherish for years.
A Personalized Approach to Every Gallery
Whether I’m editing a newborn session, milestone photos, or a family session, I take a personalized approach. No two sessions are alike, and I want your photos to reflect the love and emotion of that exact moment. That’s why I dedicate time to carefully hand-edit each image instead of rushing through the process.
Balancing Photography with Everyday Life
In addition to running my photography business, I’m also a full-time sterile processing technician and a mom to a busy 2-year-old. Life is full, but photography is my passion, and I make sure every gallery receives the attention and care it deserves. My 4–6 week turnaround time allows me to balance my roles while still delivering beautifully edited, professional photos you’ll treasure.
The Benefits of a 4–6 Week Turnaround Time
When you book with me, you can expect:
• Consistency and care in every gallery
• A smooth workflow that keeps all sessions on track
• A final product that feels polished, professional, and worth the wait
Think of it as part of the experience—the anticipation makes receiving your gallery even more exciting!
When Will You Get Your Photos?
My turnaround time for photography galleries is 4–6 weeks after you’ve made your selections. I’ll always keep you updated, and if your gallery is ready sooner, you’ll be the first to know! I also offer a rush option for a fee if you booked last minute and need them for an event, gifts etc.
✨ In short: My editing process takes time because your memories deserve nothing less than the best. Thank you for trusting me as your newborn and family photographer—I promise your finished gallery will be worth the wait. Ready to book a newborn, cake smash, maternity or milestone session? My home studio is located in Anderson, Indiana roughly 30 minutes from Noblesville, Fishers, Pendleton and Muncie.
