Why I Offer Uncapped Galleries (and What That Means for You)

Family photoshoot with uncapped gallery in Central West NSW

When you book a photoshoot, one of the first questions people ask is: “How many photos do I get?”

My answer? All of them.

At Maddi Lee’s Photography, I don’t believe in limiting your memories to a fixed number. That’s why every session — from families to weddings — comes with an uncapped gallery.

What is an uncapped gallery?

An uncapped gallery means I deliver every image of value from your session, not just a handful of “chosen ones.” I cull out blinks, duplicates, or out-of-focus shots, but if the photo tells part of your story — you get it.

So instead of 20 “best shots,” you’ll receive the full gallery of 150, 250, or even 600+ photos (depending on the session).

Why I choose this approach

✨ Your story deserves more than a capEvery session is full of micro-moments: the laugh after a joke, the way your kids play, the quiet in-between looks. Why would I hide those from you?

✨ You get to decide what matters mostOver the years, I’ve noticed clients love photos I might never have picked as my “top choices.” An uncapped gallery gives you freedom to choose your favourites.

✨ No upsells, no stressI don’t believe in holding back memories behind paywalls. You don’t have to choose which photos to buy or worry about missing out.

What this looks like in practice

Family sessions: Usually 200+ images — everything from posed group shots to playful candids.
Couples & engagements: Around 150–300 images, depending on how much time we have and what we do.
Weddings: 600+ images — from getting ready to dance floor chaos, you’ll relive the whole day.

(Pro tip: I’ll usually deliver sneak peeks within 48–72 hours, then the full uncapped gallery within 2 weeks for most sessions.)

The benefits for you

More variety → black & white edits, detail shots, funny bloopers, emotional candids.
A fuller story → instead of highlights, you get the whole chapter.
More value → no need to pay extra for “extra images.”

Do uncapped galleries mean I get blurry photos?

Nope! I remove test shots, blinks, duplicates, or anything that doesn’t reflect my quality. What you get is every photo of value — the real, authentic moments worth keeping.
