Scars & Stretch Marks

A popular question we get from people is "can you edit out my ________?"

Usually that blank is something like stretch marks, scars, or something else on the skin.

In short, YES we can retouch your images and remove most small things.

Generally, the way we light, dress, and pose clients takes care of most of the "issues" people are worried about. Most of the time our clients are surprised at how subtle the things they were the most worried about look in their images!

At your reveal appointment following your photoshoot, we show you your images lightly retouched. This way, you can see your images in their most pure form and decide from there how much more retouching, if any, you want to have done!

We may encourage you to leave your body as is, imperfections included. Your imperfections are what make you YOU! We will never remove anything from your body without your explicit permission.

While you might look in the mirror and think your stretch marks are 'bad,' you could also look at them and the story they tell about you. Maybe you grew really fast as a teenager. Or maybe you were pregnant when they appeared. Either way, they are simply marks on your skin and are not a measure of your worth as a human being. 

You may look in the mirror at your scars and think 'I wish I didn't have these,' or you could look at them instead as part of your journey. Whether they are from a surgery that your body needed or an accident that happened, they are now a permanent reminder of something you went through that made you who you are today.

However, at the end of the day if you want certain things removed from your images we are happy to oblige. The images go home with you, and we want you to be 1000% happy with them. This is why we take extra care with our clients to go over retouching at the sales appointment on your shoot day so that when your products arrive you are over the moon about the way everything looks.
