A Boudoir Image in the Making

It’s my desire to give every woman I work with the opportunity to see her natural beauty for herself. But we all have a harsh perception of our  “imperfections” that may take attention away from our natural beauty. That’s why each image that leaves my studio has undergone a series of retouching steps before landing in your hands.

The first step, and most obvious, is the moment the shutter releases. No matter how skilled I might be in Photoshop — the best images need to start with a flattering pose, expert lighting, and artistic composition. I designed your boudoir experience and our studio to accomplish this, and studying fine art from the time I turned eleven doesn’t hurt either!

Next, each image is edited before you even see it. All of your images are individually edited to brighten and warm skin tones, give a little contrast and punch, and airbrushed to create creamy soft skin. These are the images you view to select your favorites.

And that’s not all, once you’ve selected your favorites, you can make requests for additional touchups, (i.e. removal of blemishes/bruises/strechmarks or smoothing undereyes/wrinkles/cellulite).

Finally, your images are printed at the finest professional labs and book binderies I have found. My professionally calibrated hardware matched with established vendor partnerships results in the truest color and archival prints and products.

    Amazing work! I don’t think everyone realizes all that there is to making an image pop and to take it to the next level. This is a great post.ReplyCancel
