Next up we have what we call our “Proof Image” which is our basic edit. Depending on the package selected, this is typically what clients will see in their online gallery and also what is received as a high resolution image on disc. Each proof image is adjusted for white balance and exposure.

Next up we have our premium “TLC” edit. This is where we go to town in Photoshop and also where we spend most of our time in applying various things such as artistic edits like vignettes, skin retouching, removal of any blemishes or laugh lines/wrinkles, and any textures (if the client wishes) to really make the image shine and stand out from the rest. Most of our packages will include a number of these “premium” edits. All prints or fine art products such as canvases or albums purchased from us receive a premium TLC edit before printing.

Hopefully this helps some of you understand a bit more about what goes on behind the scenes for the processing of our photos. As much as I do try and respond directly with each of you that ask me a question here and there, you can imagine these days as things have picked up a lot, that I just don’t have the time to address each individual question anymore.

Michelle Sheremeta also got out of bed early to help us out with Amber’s make-up. She did such a fantastic job with Amber’s make up. Check out her new website here!.

Amber had a pair of awesome cowgirl boots, and Jason sported a stylin’ pair of dark red dress shoes along with his fedora. They  were total supermodels and they weren’t afraid to get a little wet! We all had a great time enjoying early October sun in the park. Here are some photos and the slideshow, enjoy!
