I tell clients all the time the photos I take in camera are only 1/3 of the process of creating their images. They never look the same after I am done. It's one of the reasons I do not give unedited photos. Not only does an unedited photo represent me poorly but it also does a disservice I believe to the client. It is not an all the way complete portrait. One third of my process is the information from the photoshoot design consultation I get from the clients. The next third is us actually capturing the portraits. The last part of the process is the editing portion. I was in communication with the mother of this little girl in this portrait prior to the shoot going back and forth on different inspiration work she wanted to use for her daughters photographs. Though I do not copy work exactly as I have my own style, sometimes a photo has many inspiration ideas pulled from a wide variety of images. Moms inspiration photo for her daughter was individual portrait outdoors with a very full dress. And I was going to make that happen!
