additional retouched images $30 / each -
i basically “hand paint” when retouching images. i do not slap a filter on it or run it through an app. It is a time-consuming process but it is worth it!
what I doremoval of temporary things such as pimples, blemishes, lint, stray hairs, etc. I may apply other edits according to my artistic judgment and based on the goals of the shoot such as subtle eye brightening, teeth whitening, shadows under eyes, and makeup color correction to match skin.
what I do not do
heavy editing that alters the integrity of the subject such as face/body reshaping, height adjustment/ lengthening, and unnatural changes to hair/ eye color.
Permanent things such as moles /scars/ birthmarks/ wrinkles/ tattoos remain untouched (unless requested).
-
This can vary based on numerous factors but edits typically take 7-10 days depending on how many retouched images you order. due to emergencies or technical issues, there may be a longer wait but I will do by best to meet that time frame.

Her studio in downtown is a perfect setting as well. You will not be disappointed!”

What People Are Saying
“Marielle is the greatest. I've worked with her for years (we've both photographed each other.) Everything she does is brilliant and she's so fun and inspiring to be around. She really makes people feel seen and understood-- she has a special talent for photographing someone the way they'd most want to be photographed, like she was able to harness my ideal vision of myself and make it into an actual image.”
— Michael Leviton HOST of “The Tell” NYC
“Had a great time shooting with Marielle! I felt really comfortable being myself largely because of her hospitality and professionalism. Top quality person. Top quality results. I recommend her business 10 out of 10!!”
— JACOB HALL MODEL, ENGINEER
“Had a great shoot! Great Space with lots of natural light, chill unrushed atmosphere, came out with some awesome looks. 5 stars!”
— Lovensky Jean-Baptiste ACTOR, “VACATION FRIENDS”, “BURN NOtICE”, “CYBERPUNK 2077”
Working with Marielle was simply the best!! I’m not totally used to being in front of the camera, and she made me feel super at ease. And I love the way the pictures turned out.
— Jax Tranchida MODEL, TV PERSONALITY
Marielle was absolutely wonderful! She's super talented behind the camera, and such a pleasure to work with. Highly recommend!
— Tanner Kerrins ACTOR, “BARBIE”
“Marielle has a perfect ability to capture the small moments in-between and turn them into something that looks like it took hours to curate.
She has such an eye for art and design in general that shows up in her photography; be it the light or shadows perfectly balanced to the underlying intrigue that makes her photos feel unique, I always feel lucky to be photographed by her. She puts her subjects at ease and makes them look true to themselves and also beautiful. Thank you Marielle!”
