Hello, I am a full-time photographer and retoucher. I have specific experience in product photography, portraits and all types of retouching. I work in the commercial photography industry as well as with individual clients for images of personal use. I love capturing special moments for people such as surprise proposals or city hall weddings or just helping bring out your best smile in a corporate headshot! I have also done a lot of product photography for many small businesses in many industries such as beauty, fashion, food, technology, jewelry and more. Some examples of the commercial photography work I have done is retouching for JB Star fine jewelry, Splits 59, Axel Arigato, Blue Nile, etc... I also work with individuals to retouch their headshots, wedding photos and family portraits by removing lint/stains on clothing, reducing age spots and wrinkles, eliminating blemishes, whitening teeth, removing flyaway hairs, adding a missing family member to a group photo and more. Please reach out with any photographic needs and I will be happy to let you know if the project is within my skillset and give you a quote. Thanks! ***Please note the hourly price reflected on my profile is an average of my rates depending what type of work I am doing. I charge different hourly rates for different types of work so it might be more or less than what is listed on my profile. I retain full ownership/usage rights on all images I create unless otherwise discussed beforehand.
