Unedited photos offer you the chance to see and keep every moment exactly as it was captured, preserving the authenticity and raw beauty of your experience. Sometimes photos are perfect straight from the lens and moments get captured with the perfect tones and essence of the scene. Other times photos could use some extra love, need some corrections, or maybe they need little extra artistic flair. Unedited photos give you the flexibility to add your own creative touch or simply enjoy the unfiltered moments as they naturally unfolded. If you love the idea of having immediate (within 24 hours) access to all the photos, or if you're someone who enjoys personalizing your images with your own style, unedited photos provide a unique opportunity to truly make them your own.

Unedited .jpg photos are ready to view and download from an online gallery, just like your regular edited galleries. They are simply the same images from your session, but without edits made to them. RAW files, on the other hand, contain all the data captured by the camera's sensor and are used by photographers for in-depth editing in programs like Photoshop or Lightroom. While you can edit both, RAW files offer more flexibility because they retain all data from the photo.  The unedited .jpg images are like a full meal on a plate served to you at a restaurant, you can add some seasoning or sauce on top if you want and it still tastes good. RAW files are like the same meal but totally unprepared in the kitchen, you can change everything up if you want because you can control how it's being prepared. 

I deliver unedited .jpg photos in an online gallery within 24 hours of the session. RAW files will be given on an SD card at the end of the session or mailed on a USB drive within 14 business days. Edited galleries get sneak peeks within 48 hours and full gallery delivery within 2-12 weeks depending on the project.

Absolutely! You have the freedom to take these images and truly make them your own. Editing RAW files gives you endless possibilities to transform your memories into something entirely unique. With the rise of AI editing tools, it's easier than ever to achieve professional results, and you can even hire an outside editor to give your photos a completely different look. I offer this flexibility because I believe in celebrating individual artistic expression and want to inspire creativity. The only thing I ask is that if you choose to tag me as your photographer, please also credit yourself or any outside editor involved so that everyone receives the recognition they deserve!

If you're new to photo editing, unedited .jpg photos are great because they allow you to easily apply filters, use apps, and make basic changes without needing advanced software. However, keep in mind that .jpg photos don't handle drastic edits as well as RAW files. For example, over-editing a .jpg can result in a loss of detail, and trying to lighten dark shadows won't yield significant improvements. RAW files, on the other hand, contain all the uncompressed data from the image, giving you far more flexibility. You can recover details from almost-black areas or completely transform the look of the photo. Just remember that RAW files are large and require specialized software to edit, but they offer nearly unlimited potential.

There are just a few things I ask of my clients. First, please don’t take credit for the original photography—that’s my work, and I’m proud of it! However, you absolutely deserve full credit and bragging rights for your creative editing. If you choose to tag me as your photographer, I kindly request that you do one of the following: either label your photos as 'unfiltered' by Trinity Belle Photography if the photos are unedited, or credit Trinity Belle Photography for the photo and also tag any editors involved for proper recognition. This way, everyone who contributed to the final image gets the credit they deserve.

Not at all! Clients are welcome to keep me as their best-kept secret if they choose. There's no obligation to tag me in their posts if they prefer not to. What matters most to me is that if you do tag me as the photographer, all individuals who contributed to editing the image are credited appropriately. If you tag me in an unedited image, I kindly ask that you label it as 'UNFILTERED' or 'unedited' so that the difference in my work is clear. The collaboration that arises from sharing the results of my photography is something I truly value, and every effort that goes into the final image deserves proper recognition.
