My first baby is almost 3!  I can’t believe it.

I call this one “Mr. Cool”

And here’s one of my sweet Micah, who is already 6 months old!!  Where does the time go?

If you have followed my work at all, you probably recognize these faces!  Justin and Jenny are expecting a baby in August, and I was so excited to shoot their maternity session today!  I am so honored that they have chosen me to capture some of their life’s most precious milestones.

There are no words.  I just love this.

I have never done this before on my blog but thought it might be fun (and possibly educational?).  Here are a couple of shots SOOC (straight out of camera) compared to the final edited versions.

I shoot in RAW, which means that the color in my pictures is pretty lackluster without any editing.  I like it this way.  I like starting out with a totally clean slate when I edit my pictures.  When I edit, my goal is to give the image some kind of pop (whatever my vision may be for that particular image) without sacrificing the subject’s skin tones.  This can be a little tricky at first, but with practice you can train your eye to know when you’ve gone too far with the editing.

Next time I’m going to show black and whites, so stay tuned!

I had so much fun shooting this senior session!  We started out at the Denton Square and ended up out in the middle of nowhere.
