What is a Magical Composition? Imagination and creativity come together to create a Magical Composition of your baby, it’s a photo of your baby created in a fantastical scenery. They are taken with no diaper and in delicate poses, as seen in the gallery. It can be custom made a la carte, or from a template, and is inspired on the baby’s nursery theme and color palette, mom and dad’s passions, or anything you can imagine and dream of.
What is the difference between a Magical Composition and retouched photos? Retouched photos are straight out of the camera photos that are cleaned up and retouched to look as beautiful and clean as possible, you can see examples here. Rather than a Magical Composition that is a photograph in a make-believe scenery, you can see examples here.
