Before and After  {Barbara LeGere Photography |  Portrait Photographer}

With the new year, I decided you should be more in control of your images.  Yeah for you!  So, you get to select which three images you will receive in full size high-resolution jpgs - instead of me.  You pick which three you would like to be able to enlarge, print and mount.  You pick which three I pay attention to and edit (and remove stray hairs and snoogies from), instead of me.  Nine times out of ten, I select the same images you would from a session, but every once in a while, I don't.  So, now, you will select which three get the attention.  I also feel that you should get to keep and use all the images from your session, so you still receive those in a smaller format to print for your personal use. 
You can see more information about the new pricing here.

Some images need very little retouching.  Maybe just highlights and shadows touched up a bit, or a bit of sharpening to the eyes.  But some need a little more TLC or even an artistic treatment.  To give you an idea of some of my prior work, here are a few 'before and afters':

Removal of stray hair and a touch of selective sharpening:


Warming and smoothing skin:


Improving contrast, sharpening the eyes and art texture treatment:


 

And, sometimes people walk in the background...can you believe it?



Selected sharpening, warming and removal of pole in the background:


Conversion to a rich black and white worked great for this image:
