Photo Editing
At HM Photography & Boutique, Heather has crafted her photo editing skills, & is most know for her signature sessions, a contemporary ‘magazine-inspired’ style of portraits, using her standard ‘full’ editing techniques. She also offers additional styles to fit client photography goals, such as those looking for something a little less edited (documentary) or more a little more creative (fine art).
BASIC ‘CLEAN’ EDIT for EDITORIAL/RAW/ DOCUMENTARY/ LIFESTYLE SESSIONS
Final images have basic edits only. They are not retouched (aka there is no skin smoothing, boo-boo fixing, body contouring, etc). They are edited only to adjust for exposure, highlights, & tone, otherwise known as a ‘clean edit.’ With the focus of ‘connection over perfection’, where shots are candid, & final images have minimal editing to keep the authenticity of the moment.
These shoots are for a ‘lifestyle or journalistic style’, something a little less formal, to professionally capture everyday moments. Just raw, real life – documentary style. We just let our time unfold together, naturally.
STANDARD ‘FULL’ EDIT FOR SIGNATURE SESSIONS
Final images have basic editing plus skin toning & smoothing, lint removal, background adjustments, boo-boo fixing & body contouring (by request).
These sessions, are photographed with a focus of making you look & feel your best when looking at your portraits, taking your focus off the imperfect. Everyone deserves to feel confident & beautiful.
We also offer standard ‘full’ editing for commercial services such as headshots & product shots.
FINE ART ‘CREATIVE’ EDIT for FINE ART SESSIONS
Final images are meticulous & expertly retouched, taking hours to create something truly unique & whimsical. They include basic & standard retouching, as well as advanced digital editing techniques.
These sessions are pre-planned & stylized to have an extra dose of magic to create a set of curated images (think quality over quantity), of show stopping art pieces in a nursery, your home gallery, or on the walls of your office space.
