PACKAGE RETOUCHING vs. HIGH-END RETOUCHING

Two levels of retouching. One beautifully finished gallery.

Every photography package at Moite Photography includes an agreed number of images with our High-End Retouching — our most detailed, image-by-image level of post-production.

For clients who would love to have their entire final gallery beautifully finished, we also offer Package Retouching as an optional add-on.

Package Retouching does not replace the High-End Retouching included in your photography package. Your selected package always includes its specified number of High-End Retouched photographs. Package Retouching is simply an additional option for clients who would also like all of the other successful photographs from their session professionally retouched.

HIGH-END RETOUCHING

Our most detailed level of post-production.

Each selected photograph is individually worked on by a professional retoucher with close attention to every detail. This may include advanced skin retouching, detailed work with hair and clothing, precise background corrections, removal of distracting elements, complex local adjustments, and other image-specific refinements.

Every image is individually perfected with meticulous attention to skin, hair, clothing, background and the smallest details.

This is the polished, refined editorial finish you see throughout our portfolio.

The number of High-End Retouched photographs you receive is determined by the photography package you select and is included in your package price.

PACKAGE RETOUCHING

Designed for clients who don't want to leave the rest of their beautiful photographs behind.

With Package Retouching, your entire final gallery is professionally retouched for a polished, cohesive and finished look.

Package Retouching includes professional color and tonal correction, skin retouching and enhancement, softening and removal of visible skin imperfections, general portrait enhancement, background cleanup, and removal of unwanted objects or studio equipment that may appear in the frame, such as light stands, backdrop edges, cables and other distracting elements.

The main difference is the level of perfection and individual attention given to each photograph.

Package Retouching is created to make a large gallery look beautiful, polished and consistent as a whole. However, because a large number of photographs may be processed as part of one gallery, each individual image does not receive the same extensive, detail-by-detail manual work as a High-End Retouched photograph.

This means that Package Retouching may be slightly less perfect on very close inspection. For example, a tiny skin imperfection, an individual stray hair, a small wrinkle in clothing, subtle skin texture, or another very minor detail may remain — details that our retoucher would normally perfect individually during High-End Retouching.

The result is still a professionally retouched, polished and beautifully finished gallery — simply with a different level of individual detail than our signature High-End Retouching.

HOW MANY PHOTOGRAPHS WILL I RECEIVE?

The size of your final gallery depends primarily on the length of your photography session.

As a general guideline:

  • 1-hour session: up to approximately 100–120 photographs

  • 1.5-hour session: up to approximately 200 photographs

  • 2-hour session: up to approximately 250 photographs

  • 2.5-hour session: up to approximately 350 photographs

These numbers are approximate maximums rather than guaranteed image counts. Every session is different, and the final number of photographs depends on the flow of the session, number of looks, movement, variety of poses and other factors.

We prioritize quality and variety rather than delivering a predetermined number of photographs.

When we say “the entire gallery,” we mean the entire final curated gallery after our professional culling process — not 100% of every frame captured during the session.

Duplicates and near-duplicates, test shots, misfires, technically unsuccessful images, photographs with closed eyes or unflattering expressions, and other images that do not meet our professional standards are removed during the selection process and are not considered part of the final gallery.

Every successful photograph that passes this process is included in your final gallery and, when Package Retouching is purchased, receives Package Retouching.

PACKAGE RETOUCHING IS AN OPTIONAL ADD-ON

Your High-End Retouching is already included in your photography package and remains included whether or not you purchase Package Retouching.

For example, if your selected photography package includes 15 High-End Retouched photographs, you will receive those 15 individually perfected photographs as part of your package.

If you decide to add Package Retouching, your entire final curated gallery will receive Package Retouching in addition to your included 15 High-End Retouched photographs.

In other words:

Without Package Retouching:
You receive the agreed number of High-End Retouched photographs included in your photography package, while the remaining photographs are delivered according to the standard gallery delivery included with your package.

With Package Retouching:
You still receive the exact same number of individually perfected High-End Retouched photographs, plus your entire final curated gallery receives Package Retouching.

PACKAGE RETOUCHING PRICING

Package Retouching is priced according to the photography package selected, as longer sessions typically produce larger galleries and require substantially more post-production.

The applicable Package Retouching price will therefore depend on your selected photography package and will be provided as an optional add-on.

Your High-End Retouching is always included. Package Retouching is the optional upgrade that allows you to have your entire final gallery professionally retouched as well.

New Studio Family Photography Chapter

A New Chapter of Family Photography 🌿

We’re opening a new chapter in our studio — one dedicated to family and kids photography. It’s about real connection, laughter, warmth, and the kind of love you can actually feel in every image.

Unlike our signature maternity sessions that carry a more magazine, fine-art look, this direction is all about life as it truly unfolds — raw, candid, and beautifully imperfect. Think cozy light, gentle movement, a touch of grain, and colors that feel earthy and alive.

We want you to remember your family just as they are — not posed, not polished, but honest and full of emotion.

To bring this vision to life, we’ve teamed up with Evgenia, an amazing photographer whose eye for genuine moments and storytelling warmth perfectly matches our philosophy. Her photos capture that split second of laughter, the quiet tenderness, and the chaos that somehow feels like home.

This is not about perfect smiles — it’s about real moments that stay with you forever.

Why I Share My Work — and How I Honor Your Privacy

Understanding the balance between artistic vision, client confidentiality, and the value of creative sharing. This post explains how I approach my work with deep respect for every client and my artistic process. It also clarifies the meaning behind policies such as the Privacy Option and the No Post Fee — which exists for those who prefer their images to remain entirely private. 


My dear clients,

I’d love to share something important with you about the way I work.

I see incredible beauty and aesthetics in the human body — especially the female body during pregnancy. This is what inspires me, and this is why so many of you connect with my vision and choose me to capture such meaningful moments. I want to be clear: I do not create open or explicit intimate photographs. What I do is art, and it is precisely this artistic approach that brings you to me.

I truly respect every single client and their choices. At the same time, I have my own rules and workflow, and I kindly ask that you respect them in return. Sharing photographs is not just for my personal promotion — it is one of the most important marketing tools in professional photography. This is how future clients discover my work, and it is often the very reason people choose me. Without this visibility, I could not continue to grow, to reach new clients, or to sustain my artistic career.

And it is not only about me. Every session involves a team: my retoucher, my social media manager, and sometimes even another photographer. When a client requests full privacy, it requires additional effort — informing everyone involved, adjusting the workflow, and carefully controlling the process. That is why privacy is offered as a separate, paid option.

I also want to address something I sometimes hear: some of you mention that you have never seen a rule like the “privacy option” before. I completely understand — not every photographer explains their process in such detail. But let me reassure you: this is a standard industry practice. Professional photographers everywhere use their work to build portfolios and reputations. Publishing images is part of how we share our art with the world and how future clients decide to work with us.

And finally — one more important note. I love and respect all of my clients equally, but it is physically impossible for me to remember verbal or non-verbal requests. Everything that matters must be clearly written in the contract and reflected in my policies. This way, both you and I have clarity, fairness, and mutual respect.

I create my art with love, dedication, and care. I am deeply grateful to each of you for your trust, understanding, and respect. Because only in this mutual respect can true art be born. 💫

With Love,

Kat

Unlocking the Art of AI-Generated Portraits: What You Need to Know

As a photographer I’ve always been fascinated by the intersection of technology and creativity. Recently, I’ve ventured into the world of AI-generated imagery, and it’s been an exciting journey. Today, I want to share with you the process, possibilities, and limitations of creating AI-generated portraits, so you can better understand what to expect when commissioning one.

The Basics: What We Need from You

Creating an AI-generated portrait starts with a simple yet essential requirement: a frontal portrait photograph of your face. This is the foundation upon which the AI builds its artistic interpretation. Whether your eyes are open or closed, the photo should clearly capture your facial features.

If you have a specific concept in mind, don’t hesitate to share it! Want to be transported to a Maldivian beach, a hydrangea garden, or the bustling streets of Paris? Let me know, and I’ll work with the AI to bring your vision to life.

Reference Images: A Guide, Not a Blueprint

If you have a reference image that inspires you, feel free to share it. However, it’s important to understand that the AI won’t produce an exact replica. Instead, it will use the reference as a guideline, interpreting the idea in its own unique style. This means that while certain elements may be incorporated, the final result will have its own artistic flair.

The Beauty of Uniqueness

When ordering multiple images, keep in mind that each one will be distinct. The neural network has its own concept of beauty and creativity, and it’s challenging to steer it in a completely different direction. This unpredictability is part of what makes AI-generated art so special—it’s a collaboration between human input and machine imagination.

What to Expect: Artistic Interpretation, Not Photography

It’s crucial to understand that the final image will resemble a graphic or painting rather than a traditional photograph. While it will capture your essence, there may be subtle differences between your real appearance and the AI’s interpretation. This artistic touch is what gives AI-generated portraits their unique charm.

Pricing

Each AI-generated portrait costs $70 and takes between 3 to 5 hours to create. This time is spent refining the input, guiding the AI, and ensuring the final result aligns with your vision as closely as possible.

What We Don’t Offer

To set clear expectations, here are a few things we currently cannot provide:

  1. Specific Objects or Poses: If you have a photo in a particular pose or outfit, the AI cannot directly replicate it. Only faces are generated.

  2. Full-Body Images: Due to the AI’s current limitations, especially in rendering hands and body shapes, we focus solely on portraits.

  3. Nude Photos: The AI blocks the generation of such content, so we are unable to create nude images.

Why AI-Generated Portraits?

AI-generated art is more than just a trend—it’s a new medium for self-expression. Whether you’re looking for a unique profile picture, a gift for a loved one, or a piece of art that captures your imagination, these portraits offer a fresh and innovative way to see yourself in a new light.

If you’re ready to embark on this creative journey, I’d love to collaborate with you. Together, we can create something truly one-of-a-kind.

What should every Photographer do?

As a photographer who specializes in studio maternity photography, I've always been fascinated by the beauty of a pregnant woman's body. My style is based on sensuality and sexuality, and I believe in celebrating the art of the female form in all its glory. However, despite my love for capturing the beauty of others, I realized that I had never taken the time to do a photoshoot for myself.

That's why I decided to schedule a photoshoot for myself inspired by my own style and direction in photography with a gorgeous photographer and incredible woman Nata Sokolovska. I wanted to put myself in my client's shoes and experience what it's like to be in front of the camera. Little did I know that this experience would be much more than just taking photos – it would be a form of therapy, a celebration of self-love, admiration, and sexuality.

Through this photoshoot, I gained a newfound appreciation for the importance of being in front of the camera. As a photographer, it's easy to forget what it feels like to be vulnerable, to put yourself out there, and to celebrate your own beauty. This experience allowed me to truly understand how much courage it takes for my clients to step in front of the camera to relax and trust the person with camera :)

The photoshoot was a transformative experience for me. It allowed me to feel empowered, confident, and beautiful in my own skin. It also made me realize that every woman should have the opportunity to experience this feeling of self-love and admiration.

As a photographer, now more than ever I understand the importance of not just taking photos but creating an experience for my clients. A photoshoot is not just about capturing images – it's about creating a safe and comfortable environment where clients can feel empowered and beautiful. It's about creating a space for them to celebrate their own bodies and realize their own worth.

In conclusion, I want to encourage all women to take the time to do a photoshoot for themselves, regardless of whether they're pregnant or not. It's an experience that celebrates self-love, admiration, and sexuality, and it's something that every woman deserves to experience. From my side, I'm committed to creating a safe and comfortable environment for my clients, so they can truly feel the power of being in front of the camera.

Maternity photoshoots can also be a fun and memorable experience for partners, siblings, and other family members to participate in. These photos can be a beautiful way to show the love and excitement that surrounds the arrival of a new family member.

My works are simple and minimalistic. My style focuses solely on the expectant mother and the miracle growing inside you, highlighting your sensuality and sexuality in an elegant and understated manner. The emphasis is on creating stunning, timeless images that showcase the beauty of the mother-to-be without the need for elaborate props or intricate setups. The art of photography is truly highlighted in this style, as it allows for the natural beauty of the subject to shine through and be captured in a way that is both intimate and captivating.

Pregnancy is a time when couples often experience a deepening of their love and connection with each other. Maternity photography can help to preserve your feelings and the special bond that develops between you during this time.
