I realize lately that there’s one kind of facial touchup I have to do often on kids’ portraits. You might think that when photographing children, there’s not much photoshoping needed on their face. While it’s true that they don’t need any digital face lift or botox, there is one procedure I have to do often, especially on my kids’ photos. It’s called the “booger removal”. No wonder I always see kiddies sticking up a finger in their nostril, that’s because they always have stuff in there that needs attention. And I ask myself, do I want those photos of them to look more realistic the way they are, or should I take them out? It a hard call for me. Most of the time, I prefer not to see them on a portrait. Just a personal preference.
