We do not believe in heavy photoshopping. Don't get me wrong, we do retouch all of our images and will gladly remove all of your bruises, scratches, and pimples, but we don't want to over manipulate your body to make you look like someone you are not. We do not remove tan lines or correct skin tone from tanning beds or spray tans, so proceed with caution.

We already live in a time where we are consumed with unrealistic bodies in the media, we want to show you that you are beautiful at this very moment without over the top retouching.

Honestly, most of our clients are WOW-ed at how amazing their images look straight out of camera and opt for less retouching than they thought they needed. It's all a very personal decision, and one that we leave up to you once you have viewed your images.
