I don't send raw/unedited photos. I also don't provide discounts for just sending unedited photos. The price I quote includes professionally edited images, that I hold to my highest artistic standard. My work and style are very important to me, which is why I only deliver images that reflect professional standards. RAW files are an unfinished product and is not directly usable until edited and that is part of my artistic identity. My style is very unique - if that is not your style, we may not be a good fit and that's totally okay!
