cross-processing fun

Just having a little cross-processing fun in Lightroom, we call this blending mix "Collegiate" (although I'm really not sure why we named it that when we did!). Here are a few of the custom color settings that make up this look: Temperature: 4738; Tint: +64; Saturation: -36; Highlights: 59/90; and Shadows: 326/24. Becca started creating this image at 50mm, f/4.

alexa in the park

Meet Alexa of St. Charles, the stunning 18-year-old high school senior and college nursing-student-to-be. We love this shot -- made in less-than-ideal conditions, with the bright sun beaming overhead in Forest Park. Alexa fought through it, and it paid off. She's the picture of why we love senior photos!

Life can be funny. Sometimes, the faster you try to move, the slower you end up moving. We've been trying to sit down, edit and post a number of images for a few weeks, but something always gets in the way. Let's see if we can change that this week!

Just starting the edits ...

But we are lovin' our shots from Forest Park last weekend of two Eureka Wildcats. Here's a quick glimpse of high school seniors, Connor and Matt. More to come!
