Some BEFORE and AFTER shots

Post production is a big part of my photography process.  I strive to give my clients something that is not just a photograph, but a piece of art for their wall.  Sometimes, especially if I've gotten my settings wrong or accidentally nudged something is trying to get the best angle, my original images soc (straight out of camera) are "off" but with some magic on my computer, I can turn it into exactly what I originally saw in my head or better.  Sometimes as well, what I see isn't always what I get so some cropping here and tweaking there, I can turn what would most likely end up in the 'not using that one' bin, into one of my favourite shots from the day. 

 Here are some example of some of my before and after shots and how with a bit of patience, what I would consider rubbish, are now art for the wall.

This is a prime example of what was originally over looked by me for processing and became something amazing.  I loved this wall but while we were shooting, I couldn't quite get what I wanted so by snapping away, then moving on to somewhere better I thought it was a waste of time.  But I loved the purple background with what Ryan was wearing and was determined to get something from there.  Not too bad at all I reckon ;)

Still one of my favourite newborn shots.  Little Bree wouldn't sleep for me at all this day until I whipped out this blanket and she promptly when to sleep.  I use this blanket now with all my newborns and generally first and to date, it hasn't let me down!!

We had very little space in this house but I made the best of it and was thrilled with the results.

Just LOVE

Another of my favourite images of all time.  She was an extremely good looking girl and model for me but with just a hint of editing, it is just fabulous!

Brightening up made this one a total keeper but very little else was needed.

The clouds rolled in as we were shooting these few shots, hence, its a bit dark.  Little bit of photoshop magic and its just to die for!

Always a favourite of mine.  The only trash the dress shoot I've done so far and we had sooo much fun!!  This was one of the last shots of the day and just gorgeous!

I've always had a thing for brick walls and this one was right in the middle of my wedding shoot so how could I walk past it.  Lovely couple and lovely shot.

I had no idea this was going to be so special until I was editing and made it B&W.  In the end it looked like a starry night and I love it!

Only a very small amount of editing was needed to turn this from a little drab into totally fab.  I even have this printed on a canvas and it hangs in my office.  Love love love it!
