10 x 20 photo collage: James senior Studio Photo

5 photo edits of 167 James senior copy

This is a 10 x 20 Photo collage that is available with your photos!  (you know if you don’t want it with James photos)  I did a different edit on a few and thought this was a neat way to see the different things you can do with one photo!  Of course you can choose different photos to go in it (I would imagine that would be the choice of most!)  Request one of these photo collages & the pricing to me by email.

Sun-flares

Many people think that if you take a photo and it ends up with a sun-flare in it you have a poor quality picture.

Did you know that sun-flares are the latest in photography?  And if you happen to get a beautiful sun-flare in a photo it is viewed by other photographers as a true gem?

In fact this week at I Heart Faces the theme was sun-flares!  I didn’t enter the contest, because I didn’t think I had anything to offer.  I’ve been working on some photos and actually trying to add sun-flare to them! 

Today on I Heart Faces they are actually hosting a contest for some really great edits (for Photo-shop) that ADD SUNFLARE to your photos!!  OOOOOOHHHHHH…. so it’s okay to fabricate the sun-flare????  Emphasize the small sun-flares?  I guess so!!

I took this picture last Sunday.  This is Cary and Amy. (the rest of their family pictures will come soon) They have been in my life in a multitude of ways over the years.

Before:

Nice picture.  Not wild about the color.  Indiana is not real colorful this time of year.  And every picture I took that day just seemed so washed out.  See that tiny spot on Cary’s arm?  A sun-flare!  It was sunny on this day & that gave me an idea!  I used some of the edits I got at Kaleidoscope (and I REALLY HOPE I WIN MORE!!!)

What do you think of that?

It’s something to keep working on & but I think it is kinda cool!!

What a wonderful, happy family to work with!!  We didn’t know if we could get the fall look in with most of the leaves gone, but I think we still managed to capture the beauty of November!  Excited to work on a Christmas Card for them next!

Scott, Lori, & Griffin

I really enjoyed meeting Scott, Lori & Griffin last week and taking their photos on another beautiful fall day!  I find that I really am loving working with new people & getting to know them… not to mention trying to grasp who they really are in the photograph!  I hope you enjoy seeing these as much as I enjoyed working with them!!

From Lori…

“We recently had the pleasure of working with Pam on our first family picture.  Wow!  What a joyful experience!  Pam was very professional, easy to work with, fun and made it so we actually enjoyed the time.  We have a little one and they don't seem to do what you want them to at the right moment!  Pam worked well with him and out of it came the best pictures I have ever seen.  They are fresh, different, beautiful and ours.  Pam, thank you so much for your hard work and for memorializing our memories!”  --Lori T.
