Why editing is essential in my photography business

Family photos & maternity photos editing

Hey there!

So, the photoshoot wraps up and you might be thinking, "Alright, that's that, photos are all set!" Well, your session was just a glimpse into the whole picture (pun intended!). Beyond the snaps pre consolation , the session, and your image viewing presentation there’s a whole lot more that goes into creating those perfect memories.

You probably think the work stops when the camera's off. Nope! That's kinda when my second act begins.

After we wrap, I jump on my computer and get down to business with those pics. Every shot, no matter how cool it looked on the spot, can use a bit of a touch-up. Maybe it's tweaking the light, fixing up a stray hair, or making sure that random guy who walked behind us isn't stealing the spotlight.
Or like in these maternity photos, where we want a beautiful flow in the maternity dress but there is no natural wind, then we get hubby to help out. But you must admit the edited photo looks better, right?

Now, considering how wild and unexpected family photography can get (especially in those buzzing places or when the wind thinks it's invited to our shoot), editing is like my secret sauce to elevate everything. And here's the real talk: I bet if I showed you the original next to the edited one, you'd go for the edited photo every time. It's all about turning "Hey, that's a nice pic" into "OMG, we look sooo good!

I dedicate so much time and care to this stage. It's all about making sure each photo isn't just a quick click but a polished memory at its finest. As you go through them, whether you're chuckling or getting teary-eyed, know that there's some behind-the-scenes magic added to each moment. These photos I removed the signs in the background and tidied up from the beach. The rest did the cute family!

Now, I sometimes get asked, "Why's your pricing a bit on the higher side?" Well, my friend, it's simple. It's because I am super particular with your photos. I ensure every image you receive has been carefully curated, edited, and polished to perfection. I believe in quality over quantity, and I want you to have the very best.

So, the next time you're looking at our photos, know that every single one has been through a journey – from our initial chat to the click of the shutter, all the way to the final edits. It's all part of the special recipe that ensures your memories are captured in the best light (literally!).

Big hugs,
Gunilla
