Ray those are awesome. Love your processing

Thanks.

I actually try to do the bare minimal. I spend more time during the session to make sure everything is good.

Then I just touch up the skin, very little, and fine tune everything.

Ray, your profile pic still freaks me out after all these years lol. Great job on the Senior pics also.

One from a recent session.

Craig, we are looking forward to seeing pictures of your finished studio. Unfortunately I do not have a studio so my favorite backdrop is Lake Michigan. Feel free to use it if needed

That is a good one. Lol

Random question for you all - Who uses H&H and BayPhoto pro labs?

Ive been using WHCC for years, I love them, but their lack of custom options is annoying.

I want to start offering wall clusters/splits, which requires custom print sizes like 11x17, etc. Two labs that offers these are H&H and BayPhoto but I don't have any experience with either lab.

I was hoping to find some with experience with these two labs, to get your feedback on their metal and canvas prints. I don't want to give my clients a sub par product.

finally had time to finish editing a recent senior session... nowhere near the level thats in here but im hoping its a good start... C&C highly welcomed

That is actually me!

Seriously, I just photoshoped my eyes over my nose, took me 9 seconds and cropped to a square.

I think you did well, though on Kimberly-11, try not to cut off the toes if you can.

Thxs.. I will watch for that next time

Bartc - Re post #818
#1 I like
#2 Would be better if you leveled the horizon - even if it's not level in real life.
#3 Very pretty
#4 Very cool. I like!
#5 I like.
#6 Too much flower in the foreground and not enough girl. The flowers overwhelm the subject.
#7 Well done.
