I really like scarves...

Just sayin... I like scarves in pictures...

Anyway, here is a fun couple and their pup Mia - this was a just because it's Christmas soon session.

I am a bit overwhelmed with all of my work to do, so without further ado here are some of my favorite pics...


This was our secret to get Mia to pay attention, JERKY! YUM!

Cameron looking pretty fantastic...

Alisha looking SO STUNNING! Look at those eyes!



A little attitude... (with a scarf) love it...




YUMMMM! One of my favorites...



Thanks you two - I had a great time! Alisha, I am actually just about done all of them, so I'll be talking to you really soon, Jenn

A puppy with no papers...

If this is your puppy, and you'd like to see more pictures, bring me your paperwork, you know who you are... ;)

Retouched...

I just wanted to do a quick post today about retouching. Planning for and taking the actual photos is really only a small part of the photo process for myself (as a photographer). So, just to understand how much better a photo can look with a bit of retouching, I am going to post two different versions of the same photos. One straight out of the camera, and the other after a bit of editing.

This first shot is an example of what some editing can to to surroundings... this photo already starts out pretty nice, I think, check it out...


Now check out how much more vibrancy and color it can have...


Here is another example - this one effects skin and teeth a bit more... there is nothing wrong with the first one, which is what came straight out of the camera.



This is the one that has had a little bit of help - a bit of cropping, teeth are a bit whiter, skin is a bit smoother,whites are a bit whiter...



So, i'm sure you can see the benefit of having a photographer that can give your photos a bit of a helping hand when and where they need it.

It can also do wonders for eyes, I couldn't find a good example, so i'll have to find one and post another day.

Thanks for reading!
