I'm Heather Young, full-time freelance photo retoucher and editor, and this is my portfolio.
Most of my time is spent working for an agency, where I edit weddings, engagements, and portrait sessions for photographers around the world. I also work for local professional photographers throughout Southern California, sometimes on site, sometimes remotely. My clients include family, portrait, wedding, and architectural photographers. I do all types of retouching as well as quick editing (color correction, etc.) in programs such as Lightroom and Adobe Camera RAW.
