There is more beyond the click of Lisa's camera button. She will give you the best version of yourself. All purchased files are generally retouched. Some take more time and incur an extra fee. Prices vary depending on difficulty + complexity of retouching. Not every photo is perfect. Lisa has 15 years of Photoshop and photo-retouching. She can borrow eyes or a face from one photo and replace it on another photo. She can add a sky where there was none. She can modify backgrounds and merge images. She do facial retouching and body shaping.
Use the sliders to see before and after.
Standard retouching is done at the photographer's discretion. This may include: cleaning up pimples, whitening teeth, smoothing skin, scratches + bruises, reducing shadows under eyes, sun spots, splotchy faces, color correction/contrast and light background editing.
Additional retouching is available for a fee. This may include: eye, head or body swapping; changing color of clothing; editing logos from clothing; adding skies/sunrises/sunsets; changing backgrounds or combining images.
Skin smoothing but not too overdone.
Widened eyes and cleaned up skin.
Fixed a shaving cut under his nose.
Borrowed from the left eye to fix the droopy right eye.
The Rule of Thirds and "Where's the top of my head?"
The camera photographs in a 4:6 ratio, which (usually) fits print sizes 4x6, 8x12, etc. Business cards might use a 4:5, 4:6 or 1:1 (square) ratio. Older style website profiiles use a 4:5 or 4:6 (vertical) ratio while the newer style website profiles are usually 1:1 (square) or 5:4 (horizontal) ratio.

Here are two different crops of the same image. 1) Before: Uncropped 2) After: The top of the head is cropped to focus on the eyes and best use of space and the rule of thirds.
Another reason I crop this way has to do with the rule of thirds. The rule of thirds is applied by aligning a subject with the guide lines and their intersection points, placing the horizon on the top or bottom line, or allowing linear features in the image to flow from section to section. In the case of a headshot, I crop so the eyes are in the upper third of the photo.
This is what profile photos look like on Facebook, Linked In, etc. As you can see in the after image, most of the photo features you, as opposed to that empty space around your head, again following the rule of thirds.
