This image of two little girls was photographed some time ago and overlooked during proofing.   After a session, when I’m proofing I pick 75 of my favorites from about 200 then end with a final 40 or so images, so sometimes when I go back to a session months later I can actually find one that I initially overlooked for whatever reason.

Years and years later, after saying many many times that I would never go digital………….LOL  I took the plunge.  It just got more and more difficult to get film, drive to the lab (numerous times to drop off, proof, and pick up prints.)  and available darkrooms to work in were becoming scarce.   So I bought my first digital which was also a Nikon (D70S) which I still use as a backup to my newest addition (Nikon D700),  off I went.

Going digital was the hardest thing I had to do.  It not only involved the camera, but now I had to learn how to process the images myself on a computer with photo imaging software like photoshop.   Anyone who knows me knows that when I put my mind to something I usually go at it 100%.  So, I bought the computer, bought the software, bought the camera and all the extras that come along with it and off I went.  Needless to say, I still spend hours and hours on the computer working, researching and learning my craft.  If it wasn’t for photography forums like ilovephotography and countless others and photographers offering mentoring programs like michellekanephotography and briannagraham and the secret workshop to offer guidance then I wouldn’t be where I am today.  I love what I do and I will continue to challenge my skills, grow and educate myself until I can’t anymore.  So , as of today here is a sample of my work before and after.  I have been asked countless, countless times to show what an image of mine looks like straight out of the camera (sooc) and then after I have worked on it.

So here is a sample:
