Overview

The Retouch Package is completely optional and is not required for any portrait session. It is designed for portrait clients who expect more extensive skin correction than what is included in standard editing. While every session includes color correction, exposure adjustments, and basic cleanup of unavoidable distractions, this package goes further by addressing skin concerns that clients already know they want corrected in every final image.

This package is ideal for subjects who want acne, scars, redness, discoloration, or noticeable texture reduced consistently across their gallery without needing to request individual fixes later. Retouching is completed before your final gallery is delivered, so you receive polished images right away.

This service does not include body shaping, slimming, or magazine‑style transformations. The goal is a natural, true‑to‑you result that enhances your features without changing who you are.

The Retouch Package is an optional add-on for Portrait Sessions only. Extensive retouching for weddings will be handled on a case-by-case basis since wedding galleries are significantly larger, and retouching needs vary.
