I thought it would be fun to show a little before & after! This poor 2 year old boy had become really accident prone(what 2 year old isn’t?) the week before the photo session, so when he showed up looking like this, his family said, “Well, I hope you can take care of some of those marks for the pictures!”. I assured them that it would be no problem. : )

I have become accustomed to removing blemishes, scratches, etc. when necessary. After all, what bride wants that wall portrait to show that ONE blemish that came up the day of the wedding? Or, what mommy wants that family portrait in the living room to show off her little one’s fall from the day before? We all want to have that “perfect” portrait to remember through the years. So, here is a little before and after for you. : )

BEFORE:

AFTER:

Isn’t he a cutie? AND, mom even kept one of the smaller portraits with the scratches, simply because she wanted to remember him exactly how he was at that age and time. ; )
