At Caroline Lilian Photography, we believe that every photo has the potential to tell a beautiful story, and we strive to bring that story to life through thoughtful, meticulous editing.

Flawless Skin Editing for People

We understand that skin is one of the most important elements of a portrait, and we approach skin retouching with a delicate touch. Our editing process enhances natural beauty while maintaining realism.

Here’s how we can perfect your skin:

Smoothing & Refining: We subtly smooth out imperfections like blemishes, wrinkles, and redness, leaving your skin looking fresh and vibrant while keeping its natural texture.
Tone Correction: We adjust colour tones to ensure a balanced, even complexion, correcting any discolouration or unevenness.
Detail Preservation: We focus on maintaining the details that make skin look real—pores, freckles, and the natural texture that make you unique.
Our goal is not to erase your features, but to enhance them, so you look your best while staying true to your authentic self.

Perfect Eyes for People & Pets

The eyes are the windows to the soul, and whether it's a human portrait or a photo of your beloved pet, we put extra care into making eyes stand out.

Brightening & Sharpening: We enhance the natural brightness of the eyes, making them pop with more clarity and definition.
Eye Colour Enhancement: We subtly adjust eye colour to bring out the richness and depth, creating a more striking look without looking unnatural.
Reflections & Catchlights: We enhance details to the eyes to bring life and energy to the portrait. For pets, this ensures the eyes sparkle with personality and warmth.

Enhancing Pet Coats & Fur

Your pet’s coat is a reflection of their personality and health, and we take great care to enhance its natural beauty in photos.

Shine & Texture: We adjust the highlights and shadows on your pet’s fur to bring out its shine and texture, making their coat look lush, soft, and full of life.
Colour & Detail Enhancement: Whether it’s the rich black of a Labrador or the delicate patterns of a calico cat, we fine-tune the colours and textures of your pet’s fur, making sure each strand shines through without looking overdone.
Fixing Distractions: We can remove minor imperfections, like stray fur, dirt, eye & beard staining, even removing any unwanted excitement (if you know, you know) ensuring your pet looks their best without sacrificing the authenticity of the photo.

A Personal Touch for Every Image

Editing is not about changing who you or your pet are; it’s about highlighting your unique features and ensuring every detail is perfectly captured. Whether it’s refining skin texture, brightening eyes, or making a pet’s coat look soft and voluminous, we take the time to get every image just right.

Every person and pet deserves to look their best, and our editing process is designed to achieve just that—creating images that showcase natural beauty, warmth, and personality.
