I had to share this before-after to demonstrate what can happen during a shoot. For some reason, the strobes did not fire. I knew I had a great shot as soon as I snapped it. But... when I went to the laptop and noticed a black image, I felt my stomach hit the ground! I missed it!!! Arrrgggggg &^%#$#!@@#$ After the shoot, I went and decided to visit this "dark" image and see what bumping up the exposure would reveal. I knew it... it WAS the look I was striving for with my son, Luke. I did ask him to get back in front of the camera for a quick re-take but as we both knew... it was a long shot so we just went on. Call me stubborn, but I just cranked all the settings to the max and performed some magic... the above AFTER photo. I'm pretty happy with it, and so is Luke. Big lesson for the day... shoot your images in RAW. You never know what spectacular image you would miss if you didn't.

Happy Friday! It's been a long week and finally had the chance to edit this photo we took of Samantha Frahn  this past weekend !!   More images just around the corner.  But in the mean time..... Don’t forget this weekend is Spring forward! We lose an hour of our day! Saturday night/Sunday early morning at about 2am set your clocks forward 1 hour. So now that you know you’re losing an hour, do you know why?? And other interesting things about Daylight Saving Time! DST first used in Germany US inventor and politician Benjamin Franklin first proposed the concept of DST in 1784, but  modern Daylight Saving Time first saw the light of day, in 1895 when an entomologist from New Zealand, George Vernon Hudson, presented a proposal for a two-hour daylight saving shift. However,  Germany was the first country to implement DST on April 30, 1916 when the clocks were set forward at 11 pm. Though often referred to as daylight savings time (the...

Proudly active Protege in Peter Hurley's HeadShot Crew Are you thinking of getting headshots? We certainly hope so! Here is some useful information to make sure you’re ready for your time in the spotlight!:) Headshots are your own personal branding, they will represent you at your best- the you that you want agents & your next employer to see!

Social media is a huge part of all of our lives and we all want to be seen at our best, right? We all have accounts that require a ‘profile picture’. Many of us will post us with our friends, couples, kids, funny events, quotes, and the list goes on and on. However, if you are in the business world, you know that your co-workers, your boss and more importantly future boss IS going through ALL your social media sites. If you think they aren’t, you are wrong! That being said, you can understand the importance of your ‘profile picture’, as well as any other photos you are posting. Please be aware that you are being judged by what you post. Your future employer can’t say they are not hiring you for that reason, but they WILL find a reason not to hire you. So, think twice about what you’re posting on social media. Let the things you post show you in a positive light:)  Follow this link for more information on the subject! http://time.com/money/3510967/jobvite-social-media-prof...
