"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....

Photo tutorial - shooting with the sun behind subject

12/5/2017

You're with your family outside during a gorgeous sunset and trying to take a group picture.
​Someone yells out "Don't have the sun on our backs!" Or the group automatically positions themselves to face the sun. And we get a lot of this....

The idea that if shooting a subject in front of a sunset would result in really dark subjects. Yes and no.. Here is how I angle myself to capture glorious and magical photos......

Who doesn't love a little fairy girl? I love bringing a little sparkling magic on little girls. And you don't even need a fairy tale back drop to make it happen. See how I've made these girls in the country extra magical?

Senior portraits

Back when I was an official photographer I photograde this young man who was graduating High School. His mother told me he usually doesn't smile a whole lot. So when I showed her these photos she was stunned that I actually caught a teethy smile. He and I got along fine. Now at this time my editing was progressing and today as I looked through his photos I wasn't thrilled about my work. So I've updated these photos. The before are straight out of camera.

So you see, even anyone can have nice photos if you have the right Photo Retouching Artist you trust to enhance them nicely. Your photos will have their own special magic. Go ahead and look through your collections and send me your favorite memories I can make magic with.

Tell me, how and where did you take your senior portraits?

Fairy and my little girl

When a baby girl is looking down at something, this screams to me, "put a fairy on whatever she's holding!" 
And that's just what I did. Something about glowing, glittery stars around a little child really makes it truly magical doesn't it? In the eyes of a little girl who loves tinkerbell and fairies their eyes will light up in wonder and awe especially when they see themselves interacting with this fairy! Oh my gosh! Can you say "Best Christmas Gift EVER!"? Ok now that I've given you a great idea...go on and send me a message and together we'll pick out the best photo to work with. ;-)

    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...
