SOOC vs Edited

SOOC vs Edited

 The first photo shown is straight out of  my camera. As you can tell the photos is not that great. Its dark and over all not to my satisfaction. I sit at the computer for hours editing photos to get them just right. If you look at the second photo you can see it has been brighten up. You can also see that I used Photoshop in the little girl's face lightly. I do not like editing children's faces because they are beautiful just the way they are BUT often some editing is needed. She has small scratches on her face I took off and while I was brightening the photo her skin more clearer & brighter. The editing part of photographer is super time consuming which is why turn around time is about 2 weeks and why photographers have the prices they have. I will be offering everyone more choices starting in March to have an USB instead of the disk and for you to be able to have the SOOC photos on top of the Edited photos I give to you already. I hope you enjoy seeing this photo and this little girl who was super sweet to allow me to take her photos without crying once!
