FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

How many retouches are included?
One per look in your package unless otherwise mentioned! You can see the packages and retouches outlined on this page.

When do I get my retouches back?
Standard retouching typically takes 2-3 business days.

What is a retouching “pass”?
We consider a retouching pass any time we complete adjustments. In other words, any time we open an image and send you a new edit.

How many retouching passes do I get?
We offer two retouching passes on images. This includes the initial adjustments plus one additional set of edits if applicable. Please be as specific as possible! Further passes are charged as an "Advanced" retouch.

I don’t like my retouches, what do I do?
We consider retouching to be a collaborative process! We make general edits but recognize that each image necessitates different adjustments and everyone has different tastes. We do our best to get you the best image possible, but we ask for your patience if certain edits are difficult or we need clarification.
