Before and After

I just wanted to explain to my clients a little about the difference between an image straight out of the camera which is also known as a "proof" versus a processed/finished image.
I can best explain it by showing an example of an image processed next to the same image before processing. Processed image on the left and "proof" on the right(click on image for larger view).

The colors/lighting are adjusted, the eyes brightened slightly, the skin softened, any marks/blemishes are removed, a slight shadow on the left collar is removed, and the background is vignetted. These are just some of the steps taken in creating the finished product.
