Custom edits are the pride and joy of my work. For me it is the true art. A photo is not only batch edited in lightroom it is also brought into photoshop to be worked on individually. Here the photo will be sharpened and/or softened, blemishes and other things that need removed are removed, artistic tones are added, eyes and teeth whitened, skin softened, skies and light added, and sometimes bubbles, leaves, hearts, and other artistic add-ons.

Every photo is edited differently and then copied and converted into black and white and again fine adjustments are made to this version.

Fantasy edits create a fun photograph of a child or family in a setting of their choosing. Parent’s may also choose to take a child’s interests into account and do a special shoot of that to capture the passion. These shoots are a lot of fun. The edit can be shot in studio or on location and is composited into a digital background of your choice. These edits involve in depth subject selections, color matching, and other highly skilled editing to create your fantasy image that is ready for print. Each edit takes 30-60 minutes to create.
