PRIVATE USAGE RIGHTS

As artists, we take pride in sharing the work we're most proud of. Each photo session involves a lot of creative effort, and showcasing our best work helps us attract new clients. However, we understand that some clients prefer complete privacy. For those who want it, private exclusive usage rights are available for an additional fee.

WHERE SESSIONS TAKE PLACE

Our outdoor sessions take place at a Libertyville area park, chosen by us. We choose parks that have an easy parking situation and pretty landscape that compliment our photography style. Studio sessions take place in our Libertyville home studio.

AFTER YOUR SHOOT

After your session, a private gallery will be emailed to you. If you do not receive this email within a week of your session, please email us to make sure it wasn’t lost to the wonderful world of spam. 

HOW IMAGES ARE EDITED

The images in your proof gallery have already been fully edited and retouched to look their best! Our editing process includes adjustments like color correction, lighting enhancements, skin smoothing, flyaway removal, teeth whitening, and background clean-up—all to ensure a polished and natural look.

If you’d like additional edits beyond what’s already included, such as head swapping, detailed skin work, major body shaping, or other advanced retouching, we’re happy to offer this service for $20 per photo. Just let us know how we can help!

HOW IMAGES ARE SELECTED

We put a lot of care into selecting the best images for our clients—there are no hidden gems left behind! As we sort through each session, we’re genuinely excited to share as many great images as possible. We carefully choose photos that capture natural, beautiful expressions and meet our high photographic standards.

To ensure the best quality, we only deliver fully edited images. RAW or unedited files require special software to process, which most people don’t have. Editing is a huge part of our artistry, and we take great pride and joy in this process. The final editing style, effects, and overall look of your images are thoughtfully crafted by BK Rose Studio to create a stunning final collection.

CLIENT SOCIAL MEDIA + POSTING POLICIES

WHAT HAPPENS IN CASE OF BAD WEATHER FOR OUTDOOR SESSIONS?

We shoot on sunny, gloomy, and light snow days. We can’t shoot when it’s raining or in very heavy snowfall. If we have to reschedule for weather, we will together find a reschedule day that works for everyone.
