Family and Personal Photo Retouching: Cost, Files and Timeline

Ordering retouching for family or personal photos is simple. Here is what it costs, what changes the price and what happens after you send your files.

Family and Personal Photo Retouching: Cost, Files and Timeline

Starting prices

Retouching for family, lifestyle, wedding and fashion photos starts from $40 per image. Portrait, beauty and headshot retouching starts from $50 per image. Prices are in US dollars.

The final price depends on the work in each photo, so we quote after we see your files.

What changes the price

The amount of work in the photo: simple skin and color cleanup costs less than a head swap, object removal or a large group with many people. The number of photos and how soon you need them also matter.

Extras are clear: a rush delivery adds 50%, layered PSD or TIFF files add 50% and a signed NDA adds 10%.

One photo is fine

There is no minimum order. You can send one favorite photo, a full family session or a wedding gallery. Every request is reviewed personally.

For a large set, send the favorites first. It is easier to agree on a look with a few photos and then apply it to the rest.

How to send your files

Share a link to the files from Google Drive, Dropbox or WeTransfer, and set the link to open for anyone who has it. Send the original files, not copies from a chat app or social media.

In your message, say what you would like fixed and what you want to keep. A few lines are enough.

💡
Mention the use: a screen, an album or a large print. It helps us prepare the right files.

What happens next

We reply within 12 hours with a quote and a timeline. After you approve it, you pay with PayPal or WayForPay and we start the work. Revisions are included, so you can ask for adjustments after you see the result.

The final files come to your email in the formats you need.
