What does "Hand Edited" mean?

One of the questions we are most frequently asked is "what does it mean when you say the photos are hand edited?".

Well, when we choose the best images from the session then go through each one individually to enhance it.  This means sharpening, adjusting the color, brightening, and editing out scratches, bug bites, and other little problem areas.

 

Above is an example of a photo that is straight from the camera, and one that is hand edited.  The edited version has been sharpened, had the color adjusted, and had scratches removed from the baby's face, and marks from her arm where the shirt she had been wearing before had been a little snug.  Click on the photo to see a larger version of it.

So when we say that we are hand editing, this gives you an idea of what we are doing with your photos which adds the time to our processing and adds value to your portraits!

This is great Jess! I would love a class on editing pictures. I think editing pictures is what really makes them stand out!
