First Seniors of 2011

Here are a few from my first senior sesh in 2011. It was cold to say the least! I think it was around 15F with a wind chill near or below zero so we eventually ended up finding some space for a few shots in studio. CC always welcome and appreciated, thanks for looking.

Thanks mate. Much appreciated.

Photo 3 looks to have too shallow DOF. Her right eye is out of focus and hot spots on her face.

I think this is your pp 'style' as #3 is pretty well white balanced; but I hate the white balancing on the other three.

ah not white balanced as much as curve adjustments, to each their own.

Edit: I keep looking at them and I do feel they are over processed a bit. I will rework one or two tonight at post em up and see you guys think.

Maybe a bit of skin smoothing?

What do you guys preferr for this? I used to have an imagenomic one on PC, but lost it in the move to Mac.

Some re-edits I did last night, do you guys like these better?

The edits are better, but IMO i think they are a little too grey, but its all about the client opinion.

Keep up the good work.

Wow. Big hair is back!?

Haha it's been back in Utah and surrounding areas for about 5 years now! "Utah hair" or "the poof" Seems to be fading a bit now actually, more A-Line cuts without the poof.

One last one, high key upon client request.
