$700 for a portrait is it a rip off? well we cant say we have no idea how many prints she ordered, my last client rang up just over $500 on their engagment portraits (they had a very large family). As for touching up the photo and removing moles and such I myself always find out what the client wants some just want the achne issues removed others want to looking 100% flawless. Changing the eye color is just plan weird unless the client asks for it (why they would I dont know). I can also understand why the photographer removed the "stubble" it would have made him look much older than a senior in HS though I think the method he used leaves a little somthing to be desired. The shoot is a little overexpossed. Is it worth the $700 like I said depends on how many prints she wanted and how much she likes the shot. I his mom wanted a untouch/standard portrait of her son I am pretty sure she knows where her local wal-mart type portrait studio is. She could have gotten his portrait there for 9.99.
