Three stages of image processing

Three stages of image processing

Last week when I was photographing Giselle's senior portraits I got a few of Olivia as well. Of course, she is beautiful and fun to photograph. (i.e. not shy when a camera is pointed at her)

As I was processing the photos I figure why not document the three stages of straight out of camera, processing with Lightroom, to final image after sending it through the Nik Collection. Below are the same photo at all three stages.

You may not like the final image, and on a different day the processing may have not gone in that direction at all. But today this is what I like. 

See a few more images in the Olivia in FoCo gallery

This weekend I connected with a good friend for a family photography session. Group portraits are not my strength so I was fairly nervous about the whole thing. I find it incredibly difficult to set up a group pose that looks natural and interesting.

I still haven't found a great method for posing groups, but this weekend I was fortunate to be photographing a beautiful family and that makes getting a good photo a lot easier. 

After the formal seating and posing I was able to just shoot the kids hanging out in the yard. Individual portraits are much easier for me and I am pretty happy with what I got.
