Sneak Peek: The M family

October 31, 2009

It isn’t often that I get to work with a family that will willingly climb a tree to get a shot.  And it wasn’t even my idea!

Kudos to these guys.  Despite the chilly weather and early hour, we were able to get some fun pictures of them for the holidays.

Thanks for a fun morning and for introducing me to a new location.

Enjoy your sneak peek!

Sneak Peek: Josh

October 31, 2009

I had my first senior shoot this afternoon and, holy cow, was it ever fun!

Josh was so easy going and laid back.  He was a natural at posing and was “super” easy to shoot.

I think I could get used to seniors.  :)

Josh, enjoy your sneak peek.  I’ll have your gallery up and ready soon.

fix-it friday

October 30, 2009

FacesFixIt

I love fix-it fridays because editing is one of my favorite parts of of photography.

And since I started Phaunt U last week, I’ve learned a few things I didn’t know before about Photoshop.  Fix-it Fridays gives me yet another photo to try out what I’ve learned.

Original:

girl in pink

My workflow:

1.  Duplicate image

2.  Curves adjustment and color balance to correct skin tones.

3.  Ran Secret’s basic colr

4.  Patch tool to get rid of bruises, paint, and under eye circles

5.  Bumped up the saturation

6.  High pass over eyes and lips at 50%

7.  Added Kaleidoscope’s flare texture hard light layer at 50%

8.  Added a flare brush.

9.  Noiseware to smooth skin

10.  Sharpened for web

My edit:

girl-in-pink-copy

If the weather holds out I’m taking the kids to attempt our Christmas card pics.  Considering it snowed yesterday, that may or may not happen.  I’ve also got a senior and a family to shoot this weekend.  And let’s not forget Halloween!  Think good weather thoughts!!!

Happy Halloween!!!!
