Portrait session: 20-50 edited photos. Event (4 hours): 100-300 photos. Full-day wedding: 400-800+ photos. Turnaround is typically 2-4 weeks for events and weddings, 1-2 weeks for portraits. Ask if you get all images or just selects.

It depends on the contract. Most photographers retain copyright but grant you a personal use license (print, social media, personal projects). Commercial usage rights cost extra. Always clarify usage rights before booking — especially for business headshots and product photography.
