Viewing Tips
Start with the Selects Gallery before viewing the Extended Collection for a less overwhelming experience.
Use a monitor for the best viewing experience — the larger, the better.
Create separate Favorites Lists for different purposes, such as For Me, Gifts, Album, or Cards.
ABOUT YOUR PHOTOGRAPHS
Photographs are presented in the color or black-and-white treatment I recommend, with a mix of traditional editing and occasional film-inspired or creative effects. Most receive light editing, with subtle retouching when appropriate.
Dana’s Selects
My recommended favorites, edited to near-final or final quality and ready to enjoy and share.
Extended Collection
The broader collection, typically organized by portions of the event or session. These photographs receive light editing.
How Selects Are Chosen
I choose the strongest images from each scenario based on quality, energy, emotion, and variety. Some variations may be included, such as color and black-and-white versions or different expressions. Occasionally, I include a less flattering expression if it captures a meaningful or characteristic moment.
When applicable, I also curate print-worthy images from the Selects. Final selections for albums and prints are a collaborative process.
Custom Editing & Print Options
Photographs ordered as prints or included in albums receive additional adjustments as appropriate, including color correction, cropping, and retouching. Special requests may incur additional fees. Final edits depend on how the photograph will be used, its size, and the paper surface.
All images can be printed in color or black and white, regardless of how they appear in your gallery. For specific editing requests, add a note to the photograph in your Favorites List.

NEXT STEPS
Selecting Photos for Albums
For easier viewing, use a desktop. Ideally, open Dana’s Selects and the Extended Collection set(s) on separate monitors.
Create a Favorites List titled Album or Parents Album. Aim for approximately 75–150 photographs.
Complete the Album Planning Form and pay a 50% deposit.
I’ll create your album plan within 2–4 weeks. Production typically takes 2–5 months, usually 3–4 months. The balance is due before shipping.
Save-the-Date, Thank-You & Holiday Cards
From All Photos, open Print Store > Holiday Cards + Bulk Prints.
Create a Favorites List titled Cards.
Visit Minted.com, recommended for its quality, and choose up to three designs.
Email me:
The designs you like
Your card wording for the front, inside, and back
An update to your Cards Favorites List
I’ll design your card and send a proof, with up to three rounds of revisions. All cards and envelopes are proofed before shipping.
Tip: You can also order loose prints to insert into your own cards.
