Editing and Sessions

Okay, so this is a non photography pictures post! *GASP* I know, horrible!! But I just have to say how excited I am about my newest sessions. I am finishing up the session I posted from yesterday...so many cute pictures of that little girl! After that I have some AWESOME family pictures to work on, as well as Mr. Riley's 6 month session and a second amazing family session I just shot today. Great light, great subjects, ADORABLE kids. I can't wait to get going!Seriously....can't wait. :)And one more thing, if you have not heard about the totally FREE event happening this week in Albany you should check it out. There are family fun things, concerts by nationally known artists, extreme sports demos and more!! All at Timberlinn Park in Albany.

~Editing~ & ~More on Alyssa and Matt~

Editing is going so much faster this time! Every time I go to a session I am already thinking about the shots I hope to get and how I want them to look when they are processed.

I shoot my images in a RAW format. When I get them home I can put them in the computer and then process them into a JPEG file. What so totally rocks about RAW is the fact that you can change some of your settings like, the light balance, the picture mode, contrast, etc....its great!

After I convert the RAW files I start looking at the picture in Photoshop. From there I decide what changes I want to make to the image...if any at all. Sometimes just a boost here or contrast adjustment there does wonders! The times where I play with it and then realize I liked it better straight out of the camera are like gold! That means I am doing my job at the shoot and don't have to mess with anything! Of course there are always the black and white adjustments and some sepias thrown in for fun....what I love to see is a picture, that is so-so in color, get changed over to b&w and it suddenly is great!

Here are a few more of Alyssa and Matt...I can't believe how fast I am getting their pictures done! Only about 100 to go! :)
