How Many Photos Will You Really Get? Explaining Your Portrait Package OptionsLet's Talk About What You Actually Take Home

You schedule your family session. You show up, a little nervous, maybe wondering if the kids will cooperate or if you'll end up with photos that feel like "you." And then, after the session is over, here comes the next big question: How many photos do we actually get?

I hear this all the time.

And honestly, I get it. With so many photographers delivering dozens (or even hundreds) of digital files, it's easy to assume more is... well, better. But here's where things work a little differently with me at Lissette Pajaro Photography.

Because while I absolutely deliver beautifully edited images you can share and enjoy online, what I really care about is helping you preserve what matters. That starts with being intentional - not overwhelmed by quantity, but supported in curating the most meaningful memories.

Let’s dig into how portrait delivery works once you book with me - and what makes your final collection something you’ll treasure beyond the scroll.

The Truth About Quantity vs. Quality

Over the years, I’ve found that what families actually want isn’t just a huge folder of digital files you’ll forget about in a week. You want your walls filled with love. Albums that feel like your story. A keepsake your grandkids will hold one day and feel like they were right there in the moment.

That’s why I do things a little differently.

A few months ago, I had a family come in thinking they’d just get some digitals. But when I opened their reveal slideshow and showed them how beautiful their portraits looked as wall art and in an heirloom album, their whole energy shifted. They lit up. They weren’t expecting to feel that much looking at themselves. And that’s what I want for every client.

Here’s how I guide you through a relaxed, hand-held portrait experience that ends with exactly the right number of images - and exactly the right way to enjoy them.

How Portrait Delivery Works With Me

1. I Curate the Best, with Care

After your session, I choose the most meaningful, genuine images to edit and prepare. My editing process is all about quality - that moody, vibrant style I’ve fine-tuned over the years to feel rich, honest, and alive.

You won’t be handed 100 images where half feel like repeats. I believe in clarity over clutter. I take the time to lovingly select images that reflect you - the laughs, the snuggles, the quiet connections.

Each image is professionally hand-edited... nothing rushed, and absolutely no filters that fade with trends.

2. A Guided Reveal Experience

Instead of sending you a link and leaving you to fend for yourself, I hold your hand through the selection process. You’ll enjoy a beautiful slideshow reveal of your edited gallery, paired with artwork mockups to help you imagine how those memories could live in your home.

We sit together and talk about what you love, which images speak to you, and how you want to enjoy them - whether that’s a canvas in the living room, a soft-touch album on the coffee table, or gift prints for family.

This isn’t just about picking “the best ones.” It’s about surrounding you with love and memories that feel like home.

3. What You Actually Receive

The number of images varies depending on your session and which artwork option you choose, but here’s the heart of it:

• You receive digital copies of every image you purchase - whether it’s for an album or a wall piece

• I don’t hand over 40+ digital images just to check a box… I help you choose the right images for your space, your heart, your family

• Every photo you receive is part of an intentional, meaningful experience - not just something to collect dust on a hard drive

• 
  

4. More Than Digitals - We Preserve What Matters

As a boutique family photographer, I care deeply about creating legacy artwork you can enjoy for a lifetime. That’s why I work with professional labs to create fine art prints, heirloom albums, and gallery-quality wall displays.

And yes, I even hand-deliver your finished artwork and help you decide exactly where to hang it.

Because memories like these deserve more than a USB drive.

It's About Making Memories Tangible

The number of photos you receive is important. But how you enjoy them is where the magic really lives.

A hundred digitals sitting unused in an email? That’s not preserving your family’s story. But one thoughtfully chosen image, beautifully displayed on your wall, has the power to shift your whole day every time you pass it.

That’s the kind of impact I want to deliver to you.

Ready to See Your Story Come to Life?

I know how vulnerable it can feel to invest in photography - especially when you’re worried about what you’ll actually get. But I promise you this: with me, you’re never just left with a folder of files and a "good luck."

I'll be there every step of the way to help preserve your memories the right way - with lasting artwork you can see, touch, and treasure.
