Become a retouching expert.

It's time to step up your game.

Being mediocre in today's boudoir market isn't going to get you to where you want to be in your business.

Let's face it, clients have more options than ever when it comes to picking a boudoir photographer. And many of us are operating in the same pricing bracket.

What is making your business stand out from the competition?

As someone who has booked and paid for many boudoir sessions with many photographers around the country (United States), one thing that is a factor in how I choose my artist is their retouching style.

I look for quality in retouching the same way I look for quality of posing. I want the best!

In my 14+ years as a boudoir photographer, I have refined my editing process to deliver my clients highly retouched, magazine quality edits. But it doesn't take me hours per image, in fact in most cases it rarely takes me more than a minute per image!

In the Retouching Course, I am going to provide you with my exact step by step process.

You're going to know how I cull down my images from my session in addition to the softwares and tools I use to achieve my perfectly retouched images.

I have also included my seven hand made Lightroom presets - which are the ONLY presets I ever use on my images.

AND I am also going to introduce you to something NEW I started doing this year - retouching with AI using Evoto!

Frequently asked questions

You should read this before completing your purchase.

Do I need to pay for anything in addition to this course?

No, you don't "need" to. However, I do highly recommend and will show techniques using:

  • Lightroom

  • Photoshop

  • Portraiture

  • Frequency Separation

  • Evoto

Do I need to know how to use Lightroom and/or Photoshop?

You should have a general knowledge of how to use each program, however the way I retouch is SO simple, that if you literally just follow me step by step you will get the hang of the tools you need to complete the process. You do not need to be an expert in either program to use this course.

How is this course going to help me?

This course is going to show you how to edit images to achieve a clean, timeless, and professional look that clients will be attracted to. I do not do any trendy editing. My images from today look the same style wise as my images from a decade or more ago. This helps images retain value and not look tacky down the road to clients who invest thousands.

Do you offer refunds on this course?

Because of the digital nature of this product, and all other products and services I offer, we do not offer refunds. However, if for any reason you are unhappy with this course please contact us so that we can attempt to help you make best use of your purchase.

I don't want my images to look like yours, but I want to learn. Is this course for me?

That's great! We don't all need to have the same looking images, that would be boring!

This course will provide a great base that you can put your own spin on to develop your own unique style.

I can't get my images to look how I want them. What can I do?

You need to have a solid understanding of lighting and posing to achieve really stellar images, and no amount of retouching knowledge can replace those skills. This course will teach you how to retouch professionally and will help with that aspect, but if you need assistance with lighting and posing you can contact me for mentoring on those areas as well.
