Your Holiday Portraiture Session | San Diego Beach Photographer

It’s not too early to think about booking your portraiture session for the Holiday 2011 season. You might be traveling this summer, you’ll be enjoying lots of time with family at the beach, the pool or the campground. There will be time for sleeping in and taking naps! Awww, summer!

When is the best time to book a session? Shoot for September or October. It takes about 4-5 weeks after your actual shoot before you receive your digital images and prints.  It takes me 7-10 business days to cull and upload your gallery.  Then, it takes you, the client, 5-7 days to view the gallery and select your images for your collection.  After that, it takes me 2-3 more weeks to post-process and digitally perfect your images, order prints, and to prepare them in my wonderfully cute packaging (click here AND here to view).

So, don’t put it off – book your session before your endless days of summer begin!

So, what exactly do I do to your pictures? #3 | San Diego Child and Family Photographer

Today, another installment of my post processing workflow – how I take a bland RAW file and post process it into my signature bold, bright style.

A few months ago, I posted the steps necessary for  a photo shoot from start to finish, from the first email communication, to the packaging of the final product - CLICK HERE to review that information.  And, a couple of weeks ago, I shared how I post process a backlit image.  If you missed that post, you can CLICK HERE.

Loved this family.  I swear, this little girl is the highest jumper I’ve ever met!  Look at how much air she’s getting!

I started by adjusting the White Balance (warmed up the picture), then I brightened up the midtones so that it would be more obvious where  the light was coming from and where the shadows should remain (you can see the sun was to “camera-right”).  Then, I added some contrast – I usually use “Curves,” darkened patches on the ground using “Levels” and as a final step . . . .  yep,  . . .  you guessed it . . . . saturated the color using “Soft Light”!  That is it!
