This will help you stand out in a crowded market.

4. Details!
A professional photographer pays attention to details. The little retouching done just right can a make a world of difference! From sliming you down a bit to softening expression lines (wrinkles lol) to enhancing your eyes and removing blemishes. Everything works together to take pull the focus on your best attributes.
5. This is your last shot!!
