At Saga Media Photography, we structure our image packages based on editing time rather than a fixed number of images. Here's how our process works: During a 60-minute session, we typically capture between 50-75 high-resolution images, varying based on the number of outfit changes and backdrop selections. Rather than charging per image, we price based on editing time, which ensures each photo receives the detailed attention needed to meet our professional standards. Our editing process is thorough and precise: • Approximately 10 minutes of detailed editing per image • 6 images can be fully edited within one hour • One hour of editing time is priced at $170 For example, if you're interested in purchasing 6 images, you would invest in one hour of editing time. This allows us to provide you with beautifully finished portraits that truly reflect our artistic standards. As part of our commitment to quality, we do not release unedited or raw images, as these don't represent the full potential of your portraits or our artistic vision.
