Photo Retouching Services
Less time behind the screen, more time doing what you love.
I offer high-end boudoir photo retouching designed for photographers who care deeply about quality, consistency, and a beautifully refined finish.
Editing can be one of the most time-consuming parts of your workflow, and when you’re already balancing clients, shooting, and running a business, it quickly becomes overwhelming. That’s where I step in!
With over a decade of experience specialising in boudoir photography, I understand exactly how to enhance the female form in a way that feels natural, flattering, and true to your client. From subtle skin work to detailed, full-image retouching, every edit is approached with precision, care, and an eye for timeless beauty.
My retouching style is clean, polished, and never overdone. I focus on creating images that feel effortlessly flawless — smoothing where needed, refining where it matters, while always preserving texture, tone, and authenticity.
Whether you’re outsourcing a handful of images or your entire workflow, you can expect a seamless, reliable service and consistently high-quality results.
Because your work deserves to look as incredible as the experience you provide!
Less Time Editing, More Time Creating!
Hey — from one photographer to another…
We both know running a photography business isn’t just about shooting. It’s emails, admin, marketing… and then hours (and hours) of editing.
And if we’re being honest, that’s the part that can start to drain the creativity out of it all.
So why not let that part go?
Editing is where I thrive. It’s the part I genuinely love — refining, perfecting, and bringing images to life in a way that feels polished, natural, and beautifully consistent!
With years of experience photographing and editing both my own work and for other photographers, I understand how important it is that your images still feel like you. Your style, your standard, your brand — just elevated and taken care of so you don’t have to.
You get to step back into the parts of your business you actually enjoy.
I’ll take care of the rest!
I Specialise in Boudoir Retouching
The other beneficial thing is that I specialise in boudoir, so I know to handle every image with care and precision when it comes to bodies and skin types. I can be as drastic or as subtle as you need, and I offer different options for your specific requirements.
Having run a successful photo studio and worked as a boudoir photographer myself, I understand what both the photographer and client are looking for in their images. I also understand that client image privacy is of utmost importance, and a primary objective is to keep your digital files confidential and safe.
In saying this, yes, I do edit other genres too. So if you’re a family, newborn or branding photographer, or you need help with high volume editing jobs like weddings or events, you can still contact me!

Reviews!
“I have worked with Malin for almost two years now and she edited close to 200 sessions for me at this point. Obviously, I love her work and she made my life so easy. She communicates promptly, photos are done in a timely manner and she adjusted the editing style to match my needs. Couldn’t ask for anything more. I am highly recommending her!” – Dijana Szewczyk Photography
“I’ve been working with Malin for the last 18 months. Not only is she able to match my editing style perfectly she has gone above and beyond to make sure each image matches my client expectations perfectly, she’s very efficient! I would highly recommend her to anyone looking right outsource their retouching and take that task off their plate! It takes a lot to run a business and outsourcing is something I’ve made a priority in my business as I’ve grown. Now I can focus on giving my clients the best experience possible thanks to Malin’s help!” – Brianna Smith (Boudoir by Bri)
“Malin is a dream to work with. Not only did she pick up on my exact style preference’s immediately, she added a slightly upgraded feel to the retouching as well that I originally wasn’t capable of. She’s very open to feedback and has a super quick turnaround. Highly highly recommend!” – Audrey Rouzer Portraits

Frequently Asked Questions
These are some of the most common questions I get about my services:
What is your turnaround?
I aim to have your finished edits back to you in 3-12 days. However, it depends on a few factors such as how many photos you need done, the extent of editing needed, and my workload at the time. The average time you can expect to wait is around 5 days.
Does your prices include tax?
Yes. Even though I accept payment in US dollars, I’m from Australia, so I’m used to all inclusive prices!
What is your view on AI, and do you use it in your editing?
Yes, I do use some AI tools in my retouching work, and I’m very transparent about it.
In my opinion, AI programs such as Evoto (which I use) can be very useful – but ONLY if you know how to use it correctly. I see far too many photographers rely solely on AI tools for their edits, and unfortunately it shows painfully in their final images. Personally, I use it to cut down the time it takes me to edit in Photoshop (my main editing tool), and to help with complex retouches that require removal or extension of entire background structures.
Here is my editing process:
- Culling in Adobe Bridge
- Basic skin, hair, background and distraction editing in Evoto
- Exposure, sharpness, highlights and shadows in Camera RAW
- Fine tuning of skin and hair editing, colour balance and vibrance, brightness and contrast in Adobe photoshop, and a layer of Portraiture with masking the details if needed.
Do you edit other genres than boudoir?
Yes! I promote myself to boudoir photographers because it’s such a specific and private genre that most people don’t want to hand over to just anyone. However, I can also edit weddings, beauty, pageant, branding, professional portraiture, families and newborn photography. If you’re unsure if I cover your style, or if you want a higher volume of work done (wedding, etc), shoot me an email and ask about genres and prices!
How it works!
If you’re interested in trying out my services to see if we’re a good fit for ongoing work, I offer the first 5 edits FREE. This is so you can see the quality and consistency of the end result and make an informed decision if you want to continue our work together.
All I need you to do is send me the high resolution photos you want trialed uploaded to Dropbox or Google Drive, tell me the brief for your edits, and I will send them back to you via the same method.
