Colors in Editing Photographs

Hey blogger friends!! I just wanted to share with you a picture I took of my new nephew last weekend. While nothing can mask his undeniable cuteness I found the colors of the original image to be rather flat. With the addition of layers, tweaking of colors and some burning around the edge I managed to bring some color into the picture to further enhance his cuteness. What do you think. I am thinking about making a video tutorial to demonstrate how something like this can be accomplished. If anyone would be interested in something like that leave me a comment and let me know.    :-)   Have a great weekend my photography friends and God bless.

Question of the week: Black and White vs. Color

Black and white or color. As I edit pictures for clients I find it incredibly difficult to decide if I like the black and white or color version better. Usually I end up giving them both versions. Whats your opinion...black and white or color?

Getting Back into Gear

Over the past couple of months I have been seriously slacking with my photography. Starting a serious photography business has been daunting to say the least. I think the fear of failure is probably my biggest enemy.  My sister asked me to photograph her wedding this May which I couldn't say no to. Right on the heals of that I received a Facebook message asking me what my wedding prices are. I have been procrastinating on putting wedding prices up. NO LONGER. Time to get back at it. I love photography and I will no longer let my fear of failure stop me from at least trying to accomplish my dreams. Follow me on my journey through the ups and downs of becoming a professional photographer. Time to put my education into practice.
