Do You Retouch Photos?

Yes — every image you receive is professionally edited for color, lighting, and overall quality.

Full retouching (like skin smoothing, wrinkle removal, or detailed hair fixes) is not included on every image. Since I deliver large galleries (around 100 images per hour session), I don’t fully retouch every photo — but you can easily request retouching on your favorite images directly in your gallery for a small per-image fee. Most clients don’t feel additional retouching is needed, but it’s always available if you’d like it.

My editing style is natural — I want you to look like you, just the best version.


What’s Included

  • Color correction + lighting adjustments
  • Consistent, polished editing style
  • Removal of distracting people/objects (especially for beach sessions)
  • Light, natural refinements when needed (like small distractions)

What’s Not Included (But Available)

  • Skin smoothing / wrinkle removal
  • Detailed hair retouching (wind, flyaways, etc.)
  • Additional retouching is available per image through your gallery

My Approach

Instead of heavy editing, I focus on what actually makes you look your best:

  • flattering angles
  • natural posing
  • great lighting
  • helping you feel comfortable

That’s what makes the biggest difference in your photos.


Quick Turnaround

Most galleries are delivered within 3 weeks (often sooner), with sneak peeks included for proposals.


The Goal

Natural, high-quality images that don’t look over-edited — just real, beautiful moments.

These headshots have zero retouching. Client’s team managed the retouching.
These headshots were edited in Lightroom, preset added ‘Enhance Portrait’, then sent off to Retouchup, then small adjustments.
This is an original RAW image converted to JPG with zero edits – lightroom edited for exposure, color, ect – finally the delivered lifestyle headshot with distracting elements removed using generative AI plus retouching done by me. But she’s close to perfect as an on air talent professional with hair and makeup done.
This is skin retouching I did myself – took at least 15 minutes.
This family photo of 17 people is made from 1 base image, then faces were added to replace faces that were blinking, not looking, and not smiling from 3 other images.
