Experimenting

With all of my sessions complete until after the baby, I have no proofing to fill my evening hours after the children are asleep! So I have been pushing myself to experiment and try out new editing techniques. It always fun to keep learning and trying new stuff, so I thought I would share a few with you all.

Here is the original photo of sweet and chubby Riley:


And here it is with a vintage look:


Here is a photo of a young couple:


And here it is with a look called "urban acid." I think this works well for young, hip clients like seniors:


Here is a photo as the sun was going down at Tanglewood:


And here it is with a look call "midnight sepia." I like the way it give the photo a lovely glow:


And finally here is a photo from one of my most recent sessions:

And here is the photo with a vignette added. A vignette draws attention to the subject by slightly darkening the outer edges of the photo:


Thanks for taking a look at my experimenting. Leave a comment and let me know if you like any of them! Soon I will probably post a contest to see who can predict when baby Stella will make her grand appearance...and of course there will be some sort of freebie for the winner! Also, I am continuing to book sessions for September 1st and later, so call or email me if you'd like a spot on the calendar.
