All photos are edited / retouched in Adobe Photoshop CS3 giving you the highest quality images possible. Many are cropped to provide the best composition and to call attention to the key details.

Basic Photography (schedule allowing): Jim will shoot the photos and hand you the CD/DVD of all the high-res images. This comes with photo rights. These will all be unedited color photos. Although not recommended since editing and cropping are what brings the most from your photography, it does serve a purpose for those on a limited budget.
