Did you know that all of Marilee's photo shoot packages now include a FREE ordering consultation? This valuable service helps you choose the very best images for retouching, so you can order the right shots for your needs!

We've already discussed the value in ordering additional images on this blog. Since you've invested significantly to pose for these photos in the first place, it only makes sense that you'd want to maximize your return on that investment by purchasing extra edits while you can (after a set period of time, unselected raw images will be deleted).

That said, we get that it can be overwhelming to sift through dozens (if not hundreds!) of raw files to find your ideal images. We also know that most people will very likely pass over shots with tons of potential simply because they don't know how good these pics will look once retouched. 

One photo may be a wonderful shot of your face, but you're not happy with the pose or the angle of your body. You may love everything about another image, only to discover an errant backdrop stand in a corner, or your least favorite body part mocking you from within an otherwise perfect presentation. Maybe you adore a certain image, but don't realize that it's too similar to other edits you've already chosen, or that its landscape (horizontal) orientation will prevent it from making a cover (or possibly from making publication at all). Alternatively, maybe there are too many good shots and you have no idea how to narrow down your choices.

This is where Marilee can guide you.

If you're selecting extra edits to submit to a pinup magazine, for example, she can teach you what publishers are looking for when it comes to composition, pose, and variety. More importantly, she can help you understand how an image can be retouched to make it ideal for your needs. Errant equipment, weird shadows, skin blemishes, lumpy bits...virtually all of this can be digitally removed.

So, when you receive your initial retouches and the link to your raw image gallery, make sure to set up an ordering consultation with Marilee. She's more than happy to help you select the right additional edits, and wants to teach you what makes a photo a success!
