I’m not talking about substantial edits here, just a small detail!

I’ve coordinated outfits for my family photo session coming up. The jacket I’d like one of us to wear has a small logo on it and I don’t have time to shop for a new one. I don’t want to pay extra fees for the photographer to edit the logo out, especially if I am capable of editing that small detail myself.

My question is, would it be a problem if I remove the logo from our photos after he provides me with our final gallery? I don’t want to offend the photographer or violate an unspoken rule. Any insight is appreciated.

    A paid family photo session with coordinated outfits… that’s so cringe. Nothing against the photographer, money is money, but I will never understand why anyone would desire to do this.

      What makes it cringe for you? Aren’t all professional pictures (movies, ads, magazines) with coordinated outfits? Isn’t that what costume designers do for Movies & TV. They don’t make all of it themselves, they often have a collection they choose from or buy.

      So it the idea that it is coordinated? Or is it more that what amateurs choose to coordinate on isn’t as tasteful as what costume designers would pick?

      Yes, we paid for a lifestyle session to capture photos of us with our new baby. Not sure if you understood that “coordinated” and “matching” aren’t the same thing? I thoughtfully selected our outfits in advance to ensure the colors complement each other on camera. Your comment is cringe as it adds absolutely no value to the discussion.
