About Katherine Wheeler

Professional Photo Retoucher

Hello I'm Kat from Montana!
​I'm a stay at home mother and a freelance photo retoucher.
My desire and dream is to help photographers, of all levels, to have their imaginations explode into reality whether its for themselves and/or for their clients.
​I'm comfortable with retouching family, wedding and children photography. Yet, I'm currently interested in exploring new niches in photography from nature to fashion.
I've been editing since I was a teenager oh so many years ago in the 1990's. It was that something I came to be really good at.
My specialty is retouching difficult details that can be challenging to those who haven't worked with Adobe Photoshop very much. Details that drive you nuts;for instance, the hair in front of the eyes, blinks, tree limbs sticking out of heads, and blown out skies just to name a few. 
You are a photographer, an artist and your creative mind is busy with lighting, composition, outfits, locations, color, business etc.
You probably don't have time to do meticulous editing. This is when you need a professional retoucher to do those edits for you.
Your photos will guarantee to look absolutely wonderful now that they have been adjusted to match the reality, the magic and your vision.
​I look forward to working with you!

Why choose Ms.Wheeler?

When you do a search on photo retouching sites, you will find companies who have their team of retouchers. You will likely never personally communicate with your retoucher who will be editing your photo. That retoucher will not get to know you, your photographic style, your vision. But using Katherine Wheeler, there will be a lot of communication, trial and error, she will get to know you and your style and most important, your vision. A relationship will be established. The more you work together the more your visions become one. Just like the relationship between you and your camera are one, you and your retoucher should be the same. And what a way to help support a stay at home mother to realize her dream, to be YOUR photo retoucher.

Communication

Communication is so important to ensure understanding on your desires for your photo.
"You always communicate quickly and frequently as well as it always seems as though you take what could be a huge hassle and frustration such as redoing my Nan's face in stride and come at it from the growth mindset of "this is a challenge" attitude... Read more of this testimonial! ​- Alice. S

You don't need an Eden to take beautiful pictures

In this post I'm sharing images I took of my daughter this last beautiful fall Saturday. In our front yard. All we have is one tree and our neighbor's, who are close by, trees as backgrounds. It was a sunny day at around 1-2 pm so the sun was high up. And our house is currently an ugly brown. But all that didn't stop me from getting adorable photos of my little girl. If you want to take advantage of what you have, read on...
