Jennifer’s Headshots

My friend and good neighbor asked me if we could do some practice head-shots to get her comfortable in front of the camera before her audition and photo shoot coming up and I said sure why not! Now I’m no professional at taking headshots as my usual suspects are my horses and little critters around the ranch however I think we got some nice ones from the day.

Enjoy Bellas!

Pa, Ponies & Photoshop

The following pictures were taken yesterday during and after our ride up the mountain. We ran into Pa & Chris, my good friends and neighbors.

Stillwater Ranch Ponies

And this photo was taken after our ride of the Stillwater Ranch ponies!

I brought both pictures out of Lightroom and into Photoshop and dodged, burned, blurred and applied the tonal contrast filter from Nik Effects;  it was sorta cloudy and overcast so I think this really brings out the subjects in each photo.

The “Nuge” and his Woman

So today Rick brought out the guns to let Dan and Therese have some practice firing semi-automatics, I think they were more interested in posing…don’t they look cute?

Cory’s Senior Portrait Shoot

Cory's Senior Pics

Cory

For the first time ever I did a senior photo shoot for my friend Debbie and her son Cory…he is very shy, plus he hates taking pictures…I originally wanted him and Debbie to come over to our place by the river as I had scouted out several locations but time constraints and a not so eager subject led us to a few shots around the family farm; oh yeah and then the rain clouds came overhead so we called it quits real quick!

As you can guess from the above I didnt get too many shots but we did get a couple of decent shots, very handsome kid, wish he wasnt so camera shy…he did relax and he played along well when I asked him to try some different poses…

Here are a few of the ones I liked: [click thumbnails for larger versions]
