How you can get more out of your professional portraits!

So you've just uploaded your photos from your recent photo shoot of an adorable family or wedding. Then you start to cull to end up with the amount you want to share with your client. Except, a few of the final amazing images have something that gives you that OCD feeling that you maybe didn't know you had? Nod if any of these sound familiar. There's the little girl's hair covering her eye! Some strange person got in the frame with a loud colored top on! You can't help having your eye draw to him. The sky had no clouds whatsoever but the moment was spectacular. But, no clouds! This bride's photo is perfect except for her unmentionable is peeking through just enough to drive you crazy! Daughter was so clingy to mommy and the only photo that could work for a solo shot has mommy's hand in the frame. Ugh! These are just a few possible scenarios. Actually, a lot of these happened to me! It's a good thing I happen to dapper in Photo Retouching for over 20 years. If you can relate to any of these scenarios, and you don't want to scrap great photos before presentation, then read more on why you NEED a photo retoucher in your life.

In this post I'm sharing images I took of my daughter this last beautiful fall Saturday. It was a sunny day at around 1-2 pm so the sun was high up, all we have in our front yard is one tree and our neighbor's trees as backgrounds. If you want to take advantage of what you have, read on...

"I'm looking for help with this old photo of my grandmother. I am finding a lot use bright and insane colors that people would not have worn and unrealistic looking with other sellers...." says my client and now friend, Alice.S. 
Have you come across such photo restorers/retouchers?
​This was the beginning of a beautiful working experience. Alice wanted to have this photo of her grandmother restored as a gift. I'm so glad that she got what she wanted and with stories to tell too. Read on for more on the before and after of this amazing photo!

Say hello to the newest restored photo! It gives me great joy that I've given that joy to a client who is giving this photo of herself (photo taken in 1961) as a gift. She claimed the photo to have acquired mold and not able to be cleaned. With all orders I utilize my careful skill, time and eye to restore detail and remove unwanted blotches and scratches. Also, how would it look like in a gorgeous frame? Read on to see the aftermath....

Floral and butterflies retouched photo of Hispanic bride
I am celebrating the anniversary of 14 years of marriage! I'm celebrating by not only offering a wonderful special for all of you married couples but as a gift for myself.
See, it has been 14 years and only now have I been able to photo retouch my untouched wedding photos.
I wasn't in love with my photos and felt so depressed about them all of these years. But finally, I've done something nice for myself and have been retouching them all and yes! I will now make a beautiful photo book with these newly enhanced images. And now I'm thrilled to announce a FREE PHOTO BOOK or CANVAS offer! Read on!

    About KAT

    My philosophy is that photography should lighten up the heart and the eyes with vibrant color, light and majesty as memories flood back into the mind and soul. No cringing allowed. Only magic!
    I'm a stay at home mom of our little girl! Photo retouching and restoration have always been my passion since the 1990's. When I'm not retouching I take care of my little girl, my husband, follow God and spend time with His people. All while listening to music all the time. ;-) I also enjoy playing the piano, learning to sew, eat Thai food,  lifting weights, singing hymns and trying to make my house a home.  Read more...
