Daisykey Photography {What to Wear}

So, you booked your fall session with me but now you have no clue what to wear? Well, look below to get some ideas of what might work well for your session. You don't all have to wear the same clothes or event the same color clothes for your photos to look beautiful. A few tips are to wear colors that go together and use them on everyone. Don't wear clothes with logos! This is a big no no. Think about these photos hanging on the wall above your couch...you don't really want to see the GAP logo in all your shots, do you? Also, think about your location and make sure that your outfit "goes" with your location. If you are in a field, it is probably not the best match to wear heels and a mini skirt ;) Please remember that NOW is the time to book your holiday session! I only have limited dates and times available to book today by contacting me at stephenie@daisykey.com

Daisykey Photography {before and after Friday}

Happy Friday!

Ok, I am going to push myself to blog more ;) So, I will start what I will call {before and after Friday}. I will pull one of my pictures(or maybe even one of yours) and post my SOOC(straight out of camera) shot next to my edited shot. I will list a quick explanation of how I accomplished my edit. As always, it is VERY important to get your focus right in camera because even if you edit and out of focus shot, it will still be out of focus even after sharpening. If you want tips on how to achieve better focus, be on the lookout for my "momtography" class which I will host sometime this fall. This is from a before prom session that I had this spring.

I adjusted exposure and did a custom white balance in ACR(Adobe Camera RAW) using a picture of my gray kard. I also upped the blacks to add a bit of contrast. I then pulled it into Adobe Photoshop CS3. I used a curves layer to lift the "fog" off of the picture. I used the sponge tool to bring out some of the red in the bricks and used another curves layer to adjust here skin color so that it was more realistic and warm and matched the afternoon sun that we had. I selectively darkened around her so that she stood out from the wall a bit more. I also ran an unsharp mask on the entire photo to sharpen it a little. Voila!

She's the PROM l Powder Springs Senior Photographer

This past Friday I was able to photograph a friend's sister before they left for the prom. I had no idea what to expect. It was CRAZY! There were parents and cameras everywhere. Amongst the craziness, we were able to sneak off from the crowd and get some nice shots. Boy am I glad I did because this girl is drop dead GORGEOUS! Don't take my word for it, check out Miss "S"s sneak peek!
