Retouching that keeps your delivery queue moving
I've shot 450+ weddings and 1,500+ sessions myself, so I know exactly what a client gallery needs to look like — I just do the editing instead of the shooting.
One editor, consistent results
No junior team, no outsourcing chain — I edit every image myself, by hand. Skin retouching, color grading to match your style, object removal, background cleanup and extension. No AI plugins involved; if a client can tell it's retouched, I haven't done my job.
Send files over Drive, Dropbox or WeTransfer along with a short style note or a reference gallery. Turnaround is 1–5 days depending on volume and queue.
Every genre a portrait studio shoots — and product work too
Newborns & babies — skin smoothing that keeps texture, flaky skin and baby acne, red and blotchy tones, eye opening, composites for froggy and hanging poses, head and hand swaps, blanket and backdrop cleanup.
Families & children — skin, stray hair, fly-aways, teeth and eye brightening, swapping the one face that blinked, removing distractions and props.
Maternity — skin and stretch-mark softening, dress and fabric cleanup, tummy and body shaping when the client asks, background extension.
Milestones, cake smash & sitters — floor and backdrop extension, cleaning up crumbs and spills the client doesn't want, colour matching across the whole set.
Couples & weddings — skin and colour grading to your style, consistency across a whole gallery, guests and objects removed from the frame.
Headshots & business portraits — natural skin, glasses reflections, wrinkles in shirts, uniform backdrops across a whole team.
Product & jewellery — dust, wires and reflections cleaned, pure white or transparent backgrounds, stone and metal polishing, e-commerce sets that match.
On every job — colour correction and grading to your presets, background cleanup and extension, object removal, composites. Everything by hand, no AI plugins.

Newborns are the most demanding edits I do
A newborn's skin is nothing like an adult's. It flakes and peels in the first two weeks, it goes blotchy red or yellow within minutes of being undressed, hands and feet turn purple as soon as the baby gets cold, and on top of that there is milia, baby acne and the marks left by a hat or a wrap. A heavy smoothing brush turns all of it into plastic — and every parent can tell.
So I work at 100% and by hand: even out the colour first, then take down the flakes and redness while keeping the fine texture, warm up the purple hands and feet, and clean the wraps, blankets and the parent's hands holding the pose. Eyes are opened only when the shot needs it. Composites for froggy and hanging poses get the supporting hands removed and the seam rebuilt so the pose looks the way you intended it. The goal is a baby that looks like that baby on a good day — not a doll.
Four real sessions below — left straight from camera, right as delivered. Skin tone and texture, colour cast, backdrop and wrap cleanup. Nothing added, nothing changed about the baby.
$4–5 per image
Paid via PayPal or bank transfer. I work with a minimum of 50 images per month and don't take on one-off single projects — this is meant to be an ongoing part of your workflow, not a rush job.

How each of these is actually edited
Written for photographers deciding whether to hand editing over — what gets removed, what stays, and where outsourcing usually goes wrong.
- Newborn photo retouching — colour first, skin second; what gets removed and what stays
- Newborn skin retouching — flaking, milia, baby acne and blotching without the plastic look
- Composite retouching — froggy, hanging and supported poses; which frames I need
- Family photo retouching — consistency across a set, and how little children's skin needs
- Head swaps — saving the frame where one person blinked
- Outsourcing your editing — the handover, the minimum, and what to ask any retoucher
- A professional image retoucher in Europe — time zones, EU invoicing, same-week turnaround
