Proof Galleries
After your session you are given a proof gallery using Dropbox with unedited images for you to make your selection(s) depending on what session package you paid for.
Selecting from the Proof Gallery
You will be given a proof gallery after your headshot session by email. We use Dropbox for all our proof galleries. Proof gallery images are unedited for you to make your selections from.
Once selections are made, photographs will continue the editing process and be retouched and formatted for final use. Any additional images beyond what the session package includes are $55 with the usage license.
At Erica J Mitchell Photographer we offer basic and advanced retouching at no additional charge.
Need help making a selection? Want to see our favorites? Just ask! We’d be happy to send social media icon examples.

Making an Image Selection and Retouching
To make an image order, clients will reply to their proof gallery email and include the file number of the selected image of their choice. The file number can be located in the file name in the Dropbox link below.
If desired please include any retouching notes with your order.
All images are edited at a basic level, which is the standard retouching amount. If you would like more retouching to your image please feel free to provide specifics.
To learn more, visit Headshot Retouching.
Standard retouching takes 2-3 business days.

About Image Deliveries
After clients have made their image selections from the proof gallery and the final selection has been through post production (retouching, cropping and formatting) an email with a download link will be sent.
Clients will receive Large Web and Print file formats in multiple cropping options delivered through Dropbox.

Client Example
We created new headshots for the leadership team of American Red Cross Cascades Region using a single light set up. We photographed on-site at the client’s office during their retreat for the Oregon and Southwest Washington chapters. This provided easy coordination and access to the headshot session for those traveling from out of town for the retreat.
The single light set up included a 7ft umbrella, a Profoto B10 strobe head and a bounce card opposite the strobe to fill the shadows.
On-site set ups require no additional cost.
