My Baseball Senior

I am very excited to start sharing with you about my crazy life as a relatively new photographer.  I have been interested for may years, and only in the last few have gotten professional with my pictures.

I just finished up this beautiful seniors photos. She was so much fun because she wanted to incorporate her own personality into her session. Everything from baseball, books, and even our own Lake Michigan. Still finishing up her session and will post that in the coming week.

Just a quick how-to for this picture. One of the keys to good lighting is having light behind and in front of your subject. For this one (and most I do) you keep the sun behind her to lighten up the background and keep shadows off her face. Then you use your flash to put light on her face that then makes the subject glow. Easy tip, but very effective. Also a little photoshop was added on her bat to replace the 'date she played baseball' to the 'date she graduated'.

Well I am off to photograph a lovely couple's engagement pictures! Should be wonderful as long as we avoid all the mosquitos that are sure to be in the forest we are venturing in. Have a wonderful week everyone.
