After your session its time for the magic of editing to begin!
We know you are excited to receive your images, but there’s still work to be done. We’ll get you a few sneak peaks as soon as possible and you can expect the rest of your digital gallery to be delivered within two weeks. If you’re on a deadline, expedited editing may be available. Please inquire directly for current wait times and fees: [email protected]
What happens during this time?
A little bit of Photoshop magic and whole lot of work.
First, all of the images are copied to an external hard drive for safe keeping. A happy shutter finger means there are inevitably going to be duplicate, blurry, or otherwise unusable shots (this is where we leave behind any of those pictures of you making funny faces or blinking!)
A ridiculous amount of time is also spent going back and forth between 2-3 nearly identical photos deciding which one to include in your gallery.
The keepers are then imported to Lightroom for lighting and color corrections. Rather than using presets, every session is edited uniquely to the style of the project and environment of the shoot.
Finally, major distractions and minor imperfections are fixed in Photoshop. For all galleries this includes removal of unsightly background objects, and cleanup of dust, dirt, small hairs, etc.
Portraits receive additional skin smoothing, teeth whitening, and covering of obvious blemishes.
**We will not perform body modifications or edit out birth marks, scars, freckles, or anything that makes you- YOU. Its our promise to document you in a flattering way that doesn’t make you look fake. Because the real you, right now, is beautiful and worth remembering without changing a thing.
