Falling in love with my wedding photos for the first time

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!

THIS is exactly what I LOVE doing! I may not have been the photographer for my cousin's wedding but she allowed me to put my magical touches to this photo. When I first saw this photo, a vision popped into my head. And to our amazement, this glorious photo came to be...

Dream wedding photo makeover

So you had an amateur photographer for your wedding. Or simply that your favorite photo didn't come out right like the lighting shifted due to clouds or the sun, your best pose/smile/look was not at the ideal location, or someone ran into the frame at the same time. Whatever the case may be, the point is, when you look at your photo, you're not happy.
My mother remarried back when I was in college studying to be a Digital Imagist aka Photo Retoucher. I've learned photography and had a job with the College's newspaper as a Photo Journalist. (That sounds so cool doesn't it?) 
I was so excited about this new photography skill and having the means to borrow a professional camera I asked my mother to be her photographer. What does she say? "Of course!"
Little did I know that it takes more than a pro camera to take stunning wedding photos. I was still so new that I totally missed that special Newly Wed couple pose of magic. The best one they like is...well...you can see below...Just you wait to see how it comes out in the end!

Wedding photos from blah to wow

What a wonderful event to celebrate and enjoy! Your wedding!
Now after all your expenses have gone to the cake, the caterer, the band, the dresses, flowers etc 
And what you may have not thought much of is the photographer. 
So you're here because perhaps your photos didn't come out as excellent as you thought they'd naturally be.
And now that the wedding is over, the magic is over and all you're left with are drabby, busy, eyes closed, bad posed, unmagical photos.

I'm sorry you have that to remember your magical day by. Let's not say it's over though.
Because magicians such as myself are able to give that magic touch to bring it back to life.

Read and see how I can recreate a little of that magical feel in your photos!

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?

Maternity Beach Photos

I'm in love!! Yes these pictures are of me and my husband when we were expecting our baby girl. My sister in law took the photos and gave the originals and I put my magic touch the way I wanted. Before I got pregnant I was on a weight loss journey. I got down to my smallest size ever and was pretty fit.
​My goal was to gain a great shape so that if God ever blessed us with a baby again I'll be able to take amazing maternity belly bump pictures.

The photos throughout the pregnancy were looking so great! Even though I've gained a little bit but I definitely look better than I used to. I love my belly bump photos. And I loved our journey.

See, we've tried to have our baby for 3.5 years after we lost our son back in 2010. He was 3 months old and he was killed when we were hit by a semi truck.
Thank God my husband and I made it out barely. We tried for our son 5 long years so this tragedy was a little tough. But God made it possible for us to overcome through the love of His people.

And now we're enjoying our baby GIRL so much. She's going to be 2 years old coming March.

I just finished putting together her Photo Book using AdoramaPix. 64 pages it has. We definitely wanted to document and show off her first precious year.
And I LOVE how the spreads of her "pro" photos (Taken by mommy) appear in the Lay Flat Photo book. Gorgeous!!

​These special moments of parenthood, the pregnancy and the baby of course are something I think should be cherished, preserved and of course, SHOWN OFF.

Do you have some belly bump photos and/or baby photos you want to show off?

Here is the original photo. It had great potential to look how I really wanted it. Notice the feet and the dress mishap at my back.

    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...
