Letting my hair down...

Normally I wouldn't share a SOOC (straight out of camera) shot like this that was such a disaster, but I thought I'd see if I could salvage it... Let me just say that I LOVE shooting in RAW, otherwise this wouldn't have been as possible. We had been taking pictures outside in my garage and then decided to come inside and I forgot to check my settings before starting to shoot.

Cover your eyes---this first one is scary!

After Editing RAW file...


I have to say that it is so neat to be able to salvage a picture like this... Not that I want to sit and have to salvage all my screw-ups, but I can when I need to!

Been a while...

Gosh, a whole week and no blog posts! What in the world have I been doing? Actually, working my tail off!

I've had a few sessions since then, but I've been working on everyone's Christmas cards, so I just have one edited so far. I'll try to be back with more from each of the sessions, but no guarantee.

This was another big family...

We've got mom and boyfriend on left, son and family in middle, and daughter and hubby on right!



Until next time!

Attempt #1

Do you ever have an idea that you want to do and then it all falls apart? Yep... Me too! I've had this plan to update our family pics with this certain setting, certain outfits and certain poses. Well, add in hour and a half drive, 15 mos. old that won't stop and chilly, windy weather and you should know to not expect too much. At least I should know that, but nope, I still think it's possible. Oh and I thought too that I could do this with just us and my camera on a tripod with the timer. Even funnier!

I won't even bother to share the family pic... We'll be attempting that again (with help!). And I'll spare you all the out of focus, back of head pics, I did get too! Here are a few shots that I can actually share...





Note to self... Hire professional next time. And don't wait until November 30th to take pictures!
