Before & After - Part One


I thought it was time to show a little before and after action with you.  As you can see, the background was too short for the dancers' lift, too narrow for the subjects, and there is a hair in my lens that left a mark on the top left corner.  I rarely dabble in photoshop for the simple reason that I want to leave as much integrity of the original photo as possible.  However, this one needed some help!

After making the necessary background changes, only simple additions in lightroom were made in vibrance, contrast, spot sharpening, and brightness.  Enjoy!

My Christmas Present To You

Schneeberger Family

Bethany and Matt have two precious babies - Lilli (2) and Landry (1) and FINALLY getting hitched in December!  I have gotten so close to the Schneeberger family in the last year - they helped me during my pregnancy, recovery, and were even in attendance for my labor!  We shot the family where they were most comfortable - at home.

 When Bethany woke Lilli up from her nap, she said, "Baby Henry is here!"  Lilli hopped out of bed, said "Where?" which was audible from the living room, and dashed to the room to see her little friend. Lilli and Landry loved seeing their play buddy, and I loved the chance to naturally capture the family playing in the backyard.
