Newborn Photo Retouching That Looks Natural
A newborn session produces hundreds of photographs for you to edit. Some may need skin smoothing, and others may require flaky skin, stray hairs, blankets or the background to be tidied. DESCREATE provides newborn photo retouching services based on your instructions and editing preferences so you can spend less time on the computer and more time on your newborns.
Before & After
The Difference Subtle Retouching Makes
A small mark on the skin, some flaky skin or a crease in the blanket can become prominent in a newborn photograph. However, it can take hours to tidy these imperfections, especially when you have an entire gallery to edit. The goal is to make the necessary changes while ensuring the image looks natural after editing.

Who It's For
Newborn Retouching Services for Photographers
A newborn session can produce hundreds of photographs for you to edit. When the next gallery arrives before you’ve edited the previous session, newborn retouching can consume your working day.

Natural Retouching Comes First
Keeping Newborn Photographs Looking Natural
Newborn skin textures and colours can vary, which is completely normal for the baby’s natural appearance. Overly smoothing the skin or removing all the imperfections creates an unrealistic newborn photograph. We follow your instructions and only perform the necessary changes while keeping the baby’s natural features.
Turnaround, Formats & Volume
One Portrait or an Entire Gallery of Newborn Photographs
Do you only need one newborn portrait edited, or do you have an entire session for us to retouch? The turnaround time depends on the number of images and the extent of newborn photo retouching on each photograph. Please share your requirements and deadline so we can discuss the best options.

Ready for Your Newborn Photographs to Be Delivered?
The session is over, and there are still hundreds of newborn photographs that need to be edited before the parents can see them. DESCREATE can help you with that task. Send us one newborn photograph with your instructions, review the retouched version and decide whether you want us to edit the rest of the newborn gallery.
