Enhancements of Photos

~ Enhancements, Touch-Ups and Artwork

Packages with “enhanced” or “enhancements” wording get the edits, touch-ups and visual enhancements needed for outdoor photography (which inherently has big challenges with unpredictable light changes, oblivious strangers in background, and no control of objects in the environment). See list of the possible changes, below.

FYI: Margo chooses which images to alter, but she prefers to keep your faces natural looking as possible. Some artsy creativity is also very valuable too! Learn about Margo’s background. If your 

Enhancements May Include (and sample pics below):
  1. Remove distracting strangers, chairs, poles, trash cans, bags, shoes, etc.
  2. Boost sky colors & streaks to appear more sunrise or sunset-y colorful
  3. Add lens flare – overlay a pale colorful ray of sun spots, looks romantic, soft, mystical
  4. Teeth whitening and/or replace missing teeth (my specialty, so you can genuinely SMILE!)
  5. Remove bruises, cuts, scars, pimples, some age spots and sometimes bra straps
  6. Make 1-3 select-color images: combine black-n-white and color into 1 image (i.e. flowers in color, all else is grayscale)
  7. Soften wrinkles or reduce a double chin 
  8. Lighten harsh shadows on important faces
  9. Remove some flyaway hair strands, when possible
  10. Level the horizon line on ocean
  11. Make 2-4 dramatic Sepia (brownish) or Black-n-White copies
  12. Make 1-2 dramatic, colorful “oil painting” copies of abstract photos (ones without faces) 
  13. Overlay vignettes (very subtle “haze” around image borders–creates focus)
  14. Add subtle face ‘makeup’ to fix faded lipstick, sweated-off eyebrows, uneven outdoors light/shadows
