Yes, I have digital photos archived on hard drives from 2006.
Even have the film negatives prior to 2008.  If you have the date of the shoot that is always helpful when retrieving the images.

Yes! Most of my images are retouched. However, clients are asked prior to the editing process if they feel comfortable with their photos being retouched.

My philosophy is to brighten underneath the eyes & smooth the wrinkles. I don’t remove all the blemishes, only soften them. A little nip and tuck never hurts!

Every photo session begins with a test shot to see how to adjust the lighting. Everyone refracts to light differently. The hair light almost always will need to be adjusted. Relax as if you are talking to me at a cocktail party. We photograph you facing to the left, right, and center including most of the body to discover your best sides. Don’t worry – the images get cropped in.
