I met this friend through another friend....we got to talking and decided to help eachother out with portfolios! I had no clue what to expect (did you know they switch poses whenever they hear the camera click? LOL) but it was so much fun! I really didn't have a bad picture of her..haha- no blinks or fake smiles...woohoo! Yeah- the bad pictures were because of me not watching my settings...grrrr!!! Anywho...be nice to me..I haven't posted since March. haha...jk! PLEASE do critique!

...if they look blown or dark...it's because they are. I'm working off my mommy's laptop...

Very nice, gets you psyched when they come out better than you expect dosent it

Love PP as well. Good job!

I think that you have some awesome post processed photos in here. I love them all except the sun lit one looks to orange and the extremely pink one of the close up. I think the other pink tints are beautiful and airy. Maybe tweak it a little less severe? All the poses are lovely and the pp is unique. Maybe just tone down a bit? then again... it could be my computer on those two. those are the only ones that i just don't grab me the way the others do. It is the pp on them too. i wouldn't complain about any of them, but i don't feel pulled toward, as much as away from the other two due to the pp!

Awesome work either way and I would be happy with any of it!

Very, very nice work! I, too, love your post process on them especially that last one. I'll try to take a stab at it...desaturation, warming effect (more yellow/red in color balance) and a hint of a contast bump in curves.

Sorry, i'm bored

Great shots!I love the last one!

Woohooo! 4 comments! Record for me I think....haha


So the sunlit one is still too intense? I should post the original..haha- it's pretty close to the same thing!

And the BW/pink one was done on purpose...so if it looks pink, then good! they're actually all a pink BW- that one is just more intense..

I really dig what you're doing pushing each of these in a direction that works for the image. Love 'em!

it's so awesome taking shots of people who aren't uncomfortable with themselves in front of the camera. nice work!

i think they rock!

Thanks Paige! (love your pic!)

David- I KNOW...that's the first for me!

Thank you Julie...

I dig em

Nice work!! I really like the first two images, but especially the lucious tones in that b+w. Good choices for those images.
