So, I was thinking. Then I started thinking out loud (scary, I know). After I have a photo session, I do my post edits, just like any other photographer. I adjust things like colour, add effects to photos, change the overall colour to black and white, etc. But I do wonder sometimes if I should, or even have the right, change someone's physical features. Now I'm not talking about removing acne, but actually altering a persons weight, height, wrinkles and so on. Is it really far for me to portray them in a photography that will please their ego? Do I really have the right to visually change someone in photographs?
Let me know how you feel about that too. I'm interested!

I think people come to a professional photographer because they are looking for someone to take them out of those everyday pictures and make them look and feel special. I personally feel they are looking to you to give them that special look in a photo that nobody else can capture in a regular photo. You have a gift that others don't have and when they look at your photos, I truly believe they want that 'WOW' factor - and I know you give that to them - so to make a short answer long - I would keep editing them until someone tells you they don't want them edited.
