Before and After

I love editing a photo to make it look what it was meant to be, and how I "see" it.

I love flipping back and forth between "before and after" shots if I've really done some tweaking with them. ALL of the photos I give my clients are edited. Each photo receives a basic editing procedure, but some of them need some more work-- whether it be the lighting conditions, the settings the camera was on, the lack of color in the image, to some people, a "blah" photo may be present-- but to me, I see potential-- and I edit the photo to bring that potential out. You will likely never see the original photos that I take, because they are not "the best they can be," (I only give the best quality to my clients), and so you may never notice the work that goes into the photo.

And so, today, I wanted to show you a few Before and After shots to give you a better idea of the work, process and love that go into my photos! :)




(In Lightroom: Boosted the temperature, brought out the blacks, vignette, contrast and vibrance boost. In Photoshop: adjusted the curves.




(In Lightroom: Cropped, boosted blacks/shadows, flare control preset, readjust contrast, lighten auto vignette, In Photoshop: select subjects with "circle" tool, feather, adjust curves so that subjects are brighter. Clone out a few flyaway hairs--it was super windy! :)).



(In Lightroom: Crop, Flare control preset, tone down the preset (contrast, vignette), and boost temperature. In Photoshop: select subjects with "circle" tool, feather, adjust curves so that subjects are brighter. Clone out the shadow in foreground so that photo is brighter, more symmetrical, and "happier.")
