Editing Pricing

Some photographs need to be preserved. Others are waiting to become something more.

Whether it's an old family photograph carrying years of memories, a portrait that needs thoughtful retouching, or an idea that exists only in your imagination, I love seeing what an image can become.

My editing services range from natural enhancements and detailed restoration to fine-art transformations, composites, and completely custom creations. Some projects are about making an image look its best. Others are about creating something that never existed at all.

Bring me the photograph, the memory, or the idea — and let's see what we can create.

Have something different in mind? Send me your image and tell me what you're envisioning. I'll review the project and provide a quote before work begins.

• A $25 minimum order applies to editing services.
• Listed prices are starting prices and may increase based on image condition, complexity and requested work.
• Pricing is determined after the original image and requested edits have been reviewed.
• One reasonable revision is included unless otherwise stated. Additional revisions or changes to the original request may incur an additional fee.
• Extremely low-resolution, heavily damaged or otherwise limited source files may restrict what can reasonably be achieved.
• Final results depend on the quality and condition of the original image.
• Original source files should be provided whenever possible for the best finished result.
• Editing requests may be declined when the requested result cannot reasonably be achieved or does not fit the services offered.

Images photographed by another photographer may only be accepted when the client owns the necessary rights or has permission from the copyright holder for the requested editing.

Proof of permission may be required before work begins.

I will not remove another photographer's watermark, logo, copyright notice or other ownership identification without appropriate authorization.

By submitting an image for editing, the client confirms that they have the necessary rights or permission to authorize the requested work.
