Being YOU and letting your creativity flourish as a photographer!

I sometimes write my blog for other photographers. We are always trying to find our way. Or think we have perfected something, but then realize we haven’t. A lot of us photographers are dreamers and I think that’s what we like to bring forth for our clients.

Embracing Your Unique Perspective as a Photographer

As a photographer, it is crucial to celebrate and embrace your individuality. Your unique perspective and creative vision are what set you apart from others in the field. In a world filled with countless photographers, it's essential to let your creativity flourish and be true to yourself.

Fall Photography Editing Secrets

As the vibrant colors of fall foliage create a stunning backdrop, capturing the essence of autumn through photography is a treat for both photographers and viewers. The key to showcasing the beauty of this season lies not only in capturing exceptional photos but also in the art of post-processing. Here are some editing tips and secrets to elevate your fall photography:

Enhance Colors

Hue/Saturation Adjustments: Use selective adjustments to enhance the warmth of red, orange, and yellow tones, making the foliage pop against the cooler fall backdrop.

White Balance: Fine-tune the white balance to accentuate the golden and earthy tones, imbuing your images with a cozy autumn feel.

What An Image Means to a Photographer: Top 3 Reasons

What An Image Means to a Photographer: Top 3 Reasons

An image should speak to YOU the audience. It should delight, or make you sad... perhaps, even make you laugh. An image should reflect an emotion for the viewer. This is what makes a photographer... showing emotion.. love, sadness, joy and in the moment... It's why we do the things we do.Every image I put out there is with my love, my passion, my heart. Every image is hand edited to give you the best in what I can offer and I don't like using any presets or actions. I've been trained in various editing techniques and it would be a sin to waste all this training by running an action. I spend hours among hours weekly learning my camera and bettering myself.My colors are vibrant, soft, dreamy and my posing is very relaxed and casual. I want to capture the true self at heart. I do tone it down a bit for family photos, but still add my flavor to them. Everything else, in terms of the edit... depends on the light, the articles of clothing, props, time of year.
