Friends | Backyard Portrait

Wow, it's HOT this summer, so outdoor shoots are short and sweet, but I made some beautiful portraits this week with these two beauties. And no, you don't need a fancy setting for a beautiful portrait. This was taken at my client's home.

My favorite part about being a photographer is creating pieces that become a part of personal and family history! I hope this image will become one of those special mementos. Enjoy, gals!

And here's a look at my editing process -- before and after. It's pretty subtle because I try to shoot as cleanly as possible, but stray hairs, skin, and some background issues always require some touch up. Oh, and I wanted the coral shirt and necklace to match!

Sisters Sneak Peek | Alpharetta GA Teen Photographer

I love shooting portraits of teens. No, I'm not kidding. (I used to teach junior high too.) There's something about the energy and vitality of teenagers I just eat up. I also appreciate their willingness to try new things in order to get a great picture. These sisters were super fun to work with, and I even got to rifle through their closets and choose their outfits. We lucked out on the location--a field blooming that weekend as we drove by and decided we wanted to shoot there--a perfect spot for some gorgeous girls.
