Quantity and Quality

Please do not send us all the images from a photo session.  Select the best representative images and be mindful of the following:

  • Images need to be in focus, well‐lit for the subject matter, professionally processed, including for color correction
  • Images that are very noisy/grainy or have been processed incorrectly are not accepted

Submitting images

Place all the images you want to submit to us in one folder (give the folder descriptive name so we can easily find it or use the same naming convention as for the files)

Images can be FTPed to our photo server.

You may use any FTP client.  If you need to download an FTP client we recommend FileZilla.
