texture, please {for photographers}

Today I wanted to share with you how adding a texture to a photo can dramatically change the focal point of a portrait.

I reassured her that she looked stunning, and that it wouldn’t show up on camera. As you can see from the photos below, those shivers...

hello, ashley {springfield, mo senior photographer}

Meet Ashley. She’s a senior at Jasper High School, in Jasper Arkansas. We met up a few weeks ago to do some senior photos. (Photog friends, this session was the first time to use my recently-purchased Shootsac. I do have to say that it’s worth every penny! A separate post on that later!) Ashley has...
