Each image you see presented from your session starts as an unprocessed image, or how it looks straight out of the camera. It then gets color corrected and lightly enhanced to become the image you’ll see at your viewing and ordering session. At this stage, it’s called a proof. Then, once you order the image as a print, canvas or signature framed print, or in an album, it gets further polished to become a retouched image.

What exactly this looks like depends on the image itself. Each one gets something a little different. It could mean removing distracting elements and blemishes, lightening dark circles under the eyes, brightening eyes and teeth, smoothing the skin, or slimming down certain body parts (‘though none of these are ever taken to the extreme- we’re going for a natural, yet polished, look so that you still look like yourself).

What we end up with a beautiful, flawless piece of art that’s ready to be enjoyed in your home and make you smile everyday, remembering how great a time you had! Take a peek at the examples below for a little taste of what this process looks like:

Matt and Amy’s BEAUTEOUS wedding albums arrived and I couldn’t wait to share! The images and pages they chose so elegantly present their story, and the spreads shown here are only a sampling of the designs. And isn’t that mini album just too cute for words?!

Enjoy your new home, sweet albums, Amy and Matt will take great care of you, and their grandchildren (no rush, guys! ;) ) will love peering at the well-turned pages.

I’m soooooo ecstatic about these frames! They are hands down the best and most delightful frames I’ve ever seen and I’m thrilled to be adding them to my product line.

These signature frames are beautiful custom-made and hand-painted works of art that will add the perfect finishing touch to your home decor. With the wide variety of boutique shapes and colors available, there’s something for everyone. We can go really bright and fun, or simple and elegant. A truly unique framing option!

Plus it’s a great way to talk about my trip to family and friends that want to see photos and hear the stories that go with them. They love it, I love it!

It took me a while after going digital to begin making printed photos for myself again, and I didn’t realize how much I missed touching and holding my photos in my hands, and not via a mouse.

Take a peek at the album design from Jake’s and my trip to Vietnam last March (click on a corner to flip the page).

Comes in a protective frosty slip cover. With the magnet that helps keep it closed, they’re also great to toss on the fridge for even more bragging rights!

Elegant and archival, these 6×8 lay-flat books are just like the fine art wedding album I include in every wedding collection, only they’re designed with plenty of room around the images for your guests to write you little notes of inspiration. The velvety matte paper is perfect for writing on and the vivid rich color will make your images really pop. These are just lovely and a real keepsake!
