my { PASSION }

I grew up in Dallas watching my Grandmother paint wonderful portraits of families.  As a little girl I was fascinated with her work and I regularly snuck into her back room where she painted and I sat in amazement of her skill.  All the easels, brushes, and portraits lying about only added excitement and intrigue to what she did.  It was then that I knew I would follow in her foot steps and be an artist.  I wound up taking drawing and painting classes in college to advance my own skills.  Then, I took a photography course and it all changed.  Once I discovered you could paint with light, it was all over, I was going to be photographer!  The way that one can manipulate their art with the proper photographic techniques had me hooked from the beginning.  Photography had me at "hello". My dear and wonderful husband Jon encouraged and pushed to me to follow my passion for the lens.  As a result I get to do what I love every day!  It continues to be more and more rewarding and satisfying with every press of the shutter.  It only makes it more special that I get to enjoy my passion for wedding photography with all of you!

my { EDITING }

What do I get on my disc? How many images do you edit? What is the difference between basic editing and special editing? Will you do special editing on every one of my images?

All of these questions are frequently asked and the best way to explain is to show. I am a visual person and I hope you are too. The two images below best depict what my editing levels consist of. First, the image is taken and the far left on both is LITERALLY (*gasp, I cant believe I am showing this!) straight out of my camera. The next level of editing is basic corrections. The basic levels include (but are not limited to…) contrast enhancements, color corrections and enhancements, sharpening and exposure level corrections. Each image you receive in your gallery has had these basic editing corrections applied. Next we have my special edits….these are the images you might see on my blog or my site. Not all of my blog files are considered special edits because I like to keep my processing as clean as possible. Sometimes I might do some fun toning on a photo and those are considered special edits. These are ONLY available for print and do not come on disc. I do edit each image more extensively if it is purchased for print (larger than 4×6) or is chosen for an album.
