How It Works

Learn how Sari Singerman Photography makes your session seamless — from natural photo shoots to choosing your favorites, with optional retouching and easy online access.

Consultation & Planning

Before your session, we'll work together to plan the perfect experience.
We'll discuss your goals, style preferences, and what you envision for your images — whether you're booking a family session, a senior portrait, or professional headshots.
You’ll receive a simple preparation guide covering wardrobe tips, location ideas, and how to feel relaxed and confident in front of the camera.

We’re here to make the experience effortless and fun from the very beginning.

On the day of your session, your only job is to show up!
Sessions are relaxed, natural, and tailored to bring out real connection and authentic expression.
Whether we're photographing a milestone, your family dynamic, or a polished professional portrait, I’ll gently guide you into poses that feel natural while letting candid moments unfold.

The best images happen when you can simply be yourself.

How to Access PhotoDay

Viewing & Choosing Your Photos

A few days after your session, you’ll receive a private online gallery.
Through my secure PhotoDay system, you’ll have access to view every photo from your session, with no pressure and no guessing.

From there:

  • Select your favorite images

  • Purchase only what you love

  • Choose additional professional retouching if desired

You’re in full control — invest in the images that speak to you most.

Custom Edits & Delivery

Once you finalize your selections, professional editing begins.
Each chosen image will be refined to preserve its natural beauty while offering the option for detailed retouching (skin smoothing, background cleanup, etc.) as needed.

Final images will be delivered digitally in both high-resolution for printing and web-size formats for sharing.

Prints, Albums, and Wall Art

Bring your portraits to life.
You’ll have the option to order professional-quality prints, framed artwork, or heirloom albums directly through your gallery.
I personally partner with trusted fine-art labs to ensure the final pieces are archival quality, built to last for generations.
