i am so. far. behind. that i can't catch up. and i apologize. I have so many wonderful families that haven't yet made it up here. i am a terrible decision maker when it comes to putting pictures up here. i love so many and can't decide which to use. so i put it off. and then i put off another. and then it becomes so overwhelming that i don't know where to start.
but i will start. soon. from the beginning.

announcements
i am posting these "just because". i designed the first two announcements with the mom's of these two cuties i photographed recently.
but it was also fun making these. the next announcements are from a friend's baby who doesn't live nearby anymore, my daughter,
and my niece who also doesn't live close. so we made these together via email.
it is so fun to create something and see it in print. these are all 4x6 and i think we all printed them at costco.

color, or black and white
Well, because I give my clients the freedom to print their photos wherever and whenever they want, I tell them that if they want to develop any of the photos in black and white to let me know so I can convert them into b&w.
It is hard to explain to people why I want to convert a color photo to black & white instead of a photo lab, so let's look at why I like to convert them.
Here is the color photo I want to demonstrate with. This is the photo SOOC (straight out of camera).
It is a fine photo, but I like to edit it a bit to make her "pop" more.
Here it is with a few edits.
Now, if I want to make it black and white, here is what it would look like if I converted it at/through a photo lab.
And that looks fine. But I still want her to pop more, so, I make a few more edits, and this is how I like my b&w photos to look.
A little more contrast, a little brighter. (although it looks too bright here on blogspot. like she is glowing. oh well) And the b&w edits are definitely customizable. Brighter, Darker, Less Contrast, etc.
This isn't how everyone likes their photos, and that is ok. But I like it this way.
And if you do too, tell me to convert your photos.
Don't forget!
Ok, one more just because. Here is that same last photo with a "texture" added. Just some fun scrolls.
