my photo editing process

2012-01-30T07:39:00.000-08:00

Over at my personal blog I have written a post about the editing process I go through after a photoshoot. To read about that, please go here. With every photoshoot, I learn and employ a new skill. Sometimes that skill is behind the camera, during the photoshoot. Sometimes that skill is something nifty I've learned in photoshop or using a new photo-editing program.

We went out to play in the snow and fought the sun a little bit (it wanted to go down, we hoped it would hold off for a bit). Hollie was adorable and fun to shoot with!

Snow in Seattle- finally! Please don't forget to drive safely. On a side not: I am available the rest of January, but am not scheduling anything for the first half of February. Sessions planned for the second half of February will be tentative. March will be normal again.

happy new year!

Ring Out, Wild Bells Alfred Lord Tennyson Ring out, wild bells, to the wild sky, The flying cloud, the frosty light; The year is dying in the night; Ring out, wild bells, and let him die. Ring out the old, ring in the new, Ring, happy bells, across the snow: The year is going, let him go; Ring out the false, ring in the true. Ring out the grief that saps the mind,

I had the wonderful opportunity to go to the interior of Guyana for two weeks. I went as a support person on a medical team from Ve'ahavta, a Canadian Jewish Humanitarian Organization partnered with the Lions Club of Bartica.

While Natalie was getting ready, I had Anton show me around his farm. I told him to show me one of his favorite things on the farm. He headed straight for this and posed before I even had my camera up!There's a lovely area on his farm with trees and a lake-pond. I loved the fall colors! And just like her husband, Natalie posed so easily and naturally for me- making my job easy!She loves those

My sister and I were out in the backyard and saw this frog. We caught it and decided to take pictures. S/he was very cooperative and for the most part didn't try to hop away! What a fun little photoshoot!

She had most unique shoes I've ever had someone wear for a photoshoot.We shot at Sumner train station. It was such a good location with a variety of fun backdrops!The heart one is probably my favorite out of this whole bunch.This one I had a vision of as soon as I saw this mailbox. It was fun to pose them, take the picture, and then make my vision come alive.

as a photographer...I am a natural lighting photographer with a passion for candid photography.I have three rules for my clients:1) absolutely NO fake smiles2) with couples: your job is to flirt with each other. shamelessly. be sexy, saucy, giddy, gooey, sappy, and ridiculously happy in love.2) with couples: absolutely NO kissing (including "pecks") unless it's long enough for me to take

So I've probably spent more time at this beach than any other. It is literally five minutes from my Grandma's house and when I was little we'd go all the time and feed the birds and play around on the logs. So fun. Sometimes we'd even take the ferry and go visit Fort Casey on Whidbey Island.I remember one time hearing about my Grandma and Grandpa being on the news. They had decided to take

Seattle Temple

2011-09-25T08:10:00.000-07:00

I love this place! It is so inspiring! I was feeling a little uninspired the other day and like I wanted a break from photography. I found these pictures I took of the temple... who knows how long ago-- and started playing with them. It was refreshing and just the pick-me-up I needed to get going and love photography again!For more about LDS temples, visit mormon.org and see the video below.

All of these were edited using lightroom. I'm really enjoying it and will miss it when my free trial runs out. I shall have to put it on my list of things to purchase. So far, I prefer Photoshop for keeping things looking fairly natural but awesome, and lightroom for doing doing dramatic effects.These two were very fun. We shot down at the train station in Sumner. Katrina had scouted out all

So I downloaded a trial of Adobe Lightroom. I'm testing it out and my first inclination was to continue enjoying Photoshop, but as I've play with Lightroom more, I find that I enjoy how easily I get vibrant pictures. Lightroom might just join my photo-editing arsenal.

Kaitlyn and Blake are one of my all-time favorite couples. My first couples photoshoot was of them right before Blake left on his mission. Kaitlyn has an amazing talent for smiling. I was privileged to be the assistant photographer for their pre-wedding photoshoot. Their wedding photography was done by A&W Photography. Blake defending his bride from dragons. Of course Mom was there, taking
