The Deal
30 minutes • No retouched images • 1–3 looks • ~100 images (basic edits)

For those who want high-quality shots, fast. No frills, no edits - just clean, well-lit images you can use as-is or retouch yourself.

The Mini
1 hour • 1 retouched image • 1–6 looks • ~200 images (basic edits)

The go-to session. Time for outfit changes, variety, and a polished final image that actually feels like you.

The Max

2 hours • 2 retouched images • unlimited looks • ~400 images (basic edits)

For artists, professionals, and creatives who want the full experience. More time, more looks, and more space to explore your range in a relaxed, intentional session.

This is ideal for building a complete portfolio, creating multi-platform content, or simply giving yourself the room to show up without rushing.

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 do

removal 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.
