3 Things You Can Count on in My Photo Edits

When you're shopping around for a senior portrait photographer, one of the most important observations you can make is their editing style.  Check out their Instagram and Facebook feed to make sure their editing style is consistent.  You may want to ask yourself these questions:

• How is the lighting in the images?  Are there unflattering shadows on the subject's face or is the lighting evenly spread? 
• How much skin smoothing editing techniques are done on the subjects?  Do the subjects look natural, or do they look plastic?
• Is there a consistent color tone to the images, or do they vary from image to image?

Here are the 3 things that you can always count on in my images

I LOVE to bring out the sparkle in my client's eyes!  To me, nothing brings an image more to life than seeing the sparkle in eyes.  The image becomes more inviting when you can see the joy radiating from the subject, rather than a dull, dark eye.  I photograph my clients with the intention of bringing out the sparkle, whether it's with natural lighting, with a reflector, or with off camera flash.  To me, it doesn't matter how I get it, I just get it!  I love the image above of this gorgeous senior, but it wouldn't look nearly as beautiful or joyful without her sparkle!
