This was my last family session for 2020 and it was the perfect ending to a wonderful relaunching year for my photography business!
Every final image I deliver to my clients is a lot more than just me finding the right lighting and composition, posing them, and taking the photo with the right camera settings. That is a big part of the equation, and something I have been practicing for 7+ years now, but what you don't see is the editing work that goes in after the session.
Every photographer's vision and style is a little different than the next, and that's what's beautiful about it!! For me, I would describe my style as crisp, warm, true to color, and timeless. I like my subjects to pop and the photo to look natural and classic.
I have been working on refining my editing all year trying to find the edit that is just right for me, and I feel like I finally found it! While I was working on editing this session I created and saved a new “secret sauce” for myself in Photoshop (which I have appropriately named after this sweet family). And in my winter down-time I have been playing with some old images in my archives and reediting them to see how this “sauce” works with photos I’ve taken in completely different places with different colors and lighting, and it has been working for just about everything! I will slightly modify it here and there, add a little of this and take out a little of that, but I’m excited to have found a base recipe I love and to be able to make my images true to my vision!!
I can’t wait for 2021!!
