I love it when other photographers show their before pictures then the edited pictures. It gives you a chance to really see how they got to the finished product. So, I thought I would give you a glimpse of how I process my pictures!
Disclaimer: I am by no way suggesting the way I process is the only way or the correct way! It’s just what works for me!
I use 2 editing programs to edit my pictures – LIghtroom 3 and Photoshop CS4
In Lightroom –
I adjust the white balance
Increase the fill light
Use the adjustment brush on selective exposure adjustments
In Photoshop –
I ran Boutwell Totally Rad Action, Magic Glasses reduce opacity to 20%
Tons of dodging and burning
Hue/Saturation adjustment – reduce opacity to 35%
USM – reduce opacity to 10%
Crop
Save
Here is another example using the same steps as listed above, with the exception of cropping!
Here are more pictures from this session…

Yesterday we took our annual trip to Spencer Farm to pick strawberries. Nicholas loves to pick strawberries but more importantly he loves to eat them. He has a great system… pick one, eat 2, pick one, eat 3! His cousin Erin went with us and she picked up on his routine very quickly too!

Are you ready for some football!!! Who said there was a lock out? The players, owners and coaches for Sports 101 have reached an agreement and its football as usual!
After rain for most of the last week, we thought the games would be postponed, but wet, soggy, muddy grounds couldn’t stop these players from getting out on the field and playing football. The stands(read that as grass on the sideline) were packed with exciting parents, siblings and grandparents of the players. The boys and girls looked nervous, but once the whistle blew, the nerves went out the window and it was flag football as we know it…kids running(chasing) after each other and parents and coaches yelling, “get the flag, get the flag”.
Here are a few pictures from Week 1 – Green Bay Packers vs New Orleans Saints:
Not all the players were happy…
