FAQ: What does edited images and professional full Beauty Retouch mean?
- All images in your gallery will be “artistically edited” meaning your images will have a cohesive look and they will be technically adjusted for color, cropping, style matching, exposure, clarity, temperature balance, shadows, highlights and minor surface blemish removal etc. Based on your package a selection of images in your gallery will be chosen for a professional full beauty retouch. These images are normally your close up headshot images that could make good wallet candidates and those images are professionally retouched for full skin smoothing, clarity, color, blemish removal, texture smoothing, unwanted scars or birthmarks, facial shadows, dark circles, eye brightening, teeth etc. After you receive your gallery you can upgrade any additional image of your choice to a full “beauty retouch” for $10 per image. Premium retouching for more specific issues like severe tan lines, extensive acne, excessive fly aways for dry, damaged or broken hair, realistic figure slimming, possible digital braces removal, etc. may be added onto any image for an additional fee.
The AKSP Advantage
I know that you have lots of choices when considering who to work with for this milestone moment in your life and I am honored that you are considering me! Now that you’ve looked through my portfolio to see samples of my work on my home page and you’ve seen my competitive pricing there are a few more things for you to consider when making your decision.
- Knocking on wood here, but my sessions are generally returned to you in two weeks or less! I know you are excited to see your images and (barring extenuating and rare circumstances) I won’t make you wait any longer than possible to enjoy your images!
- I work with a professional, high end, full beauty Retoucher to make sure you look like the best version of yourself! On your “full retouched” images we make sure that retouching don’ts like over blurred or plasticized skin, orangey or blue skin tones, over whitened teeth or glowing eyes don’t happen. I insist that skin still looks like beautiful skin with natural texture but we make sure to expertly remove those temporary blemishes, smooth uneven texture, soften slight wrinkles and naturally whiten teeth and make sure your eyes look natural and beautiful.
- Do you hate buying something only to see it go on sale later? Well, me too! You will never see a better value on my 2019-2020 sessions as you do with the current bonuses so you do not have to worry about waiting for a sale to book and risk getting leftover dates or seeing the session you had at any better rate. The bonuses above do expire so the earlier you book, it guarantees the best rate.
- When I post sneak peek images from sessions the comments from friends almost always include something along the lines of “Oh wow, I love all of them so far, how will you ever pick??” That is where my clients can relax and smile because they don’t have to pick! I have a no image left behind philosophy and you will get all of the images that are included in your package. So no worrying about loving an image but not being able to afford it after the fact, no worrying about if you don’t buy additional images will they be deleted, no worrying about a small sitting fee in the beginning and a big bill at the end to actually get your images, no worrying at all. They are all yours!
- I also know that this is a milestone event that everyone feels pressure to get right. I want to make sure you feel prepared and comfortable going in to your session so I will work with you to guide you in choosing your optional Hair and Makeup Professional, give you tips on how to prepare your hair, skin, and nails and provide you with a What to Wear Guide to assist you in rocking your style and looking your best. I will work to match you with locations that best suit your style and I can walk you through ideas for optional props or styled themes. You will be prepared and confident!

Additional travel fees may apply and the client is responsible for any location fees, if applicable. I will work with you to offer many local and free location options.
- Session balances are due in full the day of the session. Payments may be broken up and sent in prior. Payment for additional products and prints is expected at the time of order.
- All applicable sales tax will be added as mandated by our local government.
- I am an outdoor, natural light photographer. Mother Nature is my studio and we may be at her whim for a usable day. We will closely monitor the weather and if it is in the best interest to cancel we will get you rescheduled as quickly as possible. Days are left open each season specifically for this. Weather concerns may include forecasted rain, gusty wind, too cold, too humid, poor light quality due to heavy cloud cover or recent rains that left wet locations.
- Items are provided as digital in nature and are direct downloads from my site to your computer and it is your responsibility to preserve the images once they are released to you. I highly recommend saving the files in a few different places, USB, Cloud, online storage, external hard drive etc. You may choose to provide me with a USB to load your images to or you can purchase my keepsake crystal USB
- Images will be available to you within 3 weeks or less of your session. Gallery images are selected by the photographer for technical and artistic quality and are at the photographer's discretion. Please review images on the home page to get an idea of my portfolio, my style and my artistic eye for what you can expect.
