Enhancing Your Natural Beauty: My Editing Philosophy


A side-by-side comparison of a maternity photo featuring a couple standing in shallow water. The "Before" image on the left has a soft, warm tone, while the "After" image on the right shows enhanced colors with a more vibrant sky and richer tones, emphasizing the emotional connection between the couple.

When I edit your images, my goal is to enhance their natural beauty while keeping the authenticity intact. I use toning and artistic touches, especially for outdoor shots, to make each photo shine. I also handle those little details that might have been beyond our control during the session.


For example, if someone ended up in the background unnoticed, I'll remove them if I can. If an unexpected blemish appeared on the day of the shoot, I'll take care of that during skin retouching. I also blend tan lines, soften skin, and enhance certain areas to give the image that final polish.


However, there are limits to what I edit. If something could have been fixed before the session—like nails, lashes, or smoothing out wrinkled clothes and hair —I typically won't change it in the edit. I believe in capturing the real you, with just a bit of refinement.


If there's something in your image that bothers you, please don't hesitate to reach out. If it's a request beyond what I can do, I'll be honest about it. But if it's outside my usual edits and I can make it happen, I’m happy to take care of it. My goal is always to ensure you love your final edit.


That’s why I focus on getting everything just right during the shoot so that the final edits simply enhance the beauty we’ve already captured.
