Hello there fellow readers. Thank you for stopping in if you’ve been here before and welcome here if you’re new. I hope you all having a wonderful day! Today I want to talk about the reason I love editing. Some people don’t find any joy in any editing. I find that it can work miracles in situations with unpredictable weather. From adding in beautiful sunsets, to editing out power lines or trees that just look strange.

    You can change the entire scene behind someone with a few clicks if you’re using a green screen. The possibilities are absolutely endless. With photoshop these days you can achieve even the craziest sky swap if you play with it. Creativity is a wonderful thing to play with when you have the chance to!

      Being able to create different things or achievements. I love being able to add unseen things to an image or change what’s already there to a different spot in the image or remove something that shouldn’t be there.  Even just adding the simple touch of a filter or vignette.  

     I’ve always took my time editing images so they can live up to the highest potential and vision in my head. I have really high expectations for myself while I’m creating the photos. I want to create beautiful images that can come across as a piece of art.  

       What’s your favorite thing to photograph? Let me know down below!

Hello to everyone new, and welcome back to everyone else!

            Today I’m going to talk a little bit about how I organize my photos. I won’t go too much into depth because everyone does this step differently. I try to stay as organized at possible, but there are times that I fall behind. I break all of my photo sessions by type, date, and sometimes month. So, without further ado, here is how I organize my photos.

            The first thing I do at the beginning of the year when I start getting folders ready is to make a folder called ‘2019’. Inside this folder I create two new folders named ‘Editing’ and ‘Website’. This just helps me see what I’m still working on and what has been fully edited and ready to be uploaded onto my website. I try to keep up to date as much as possible.

            Inside the ‘Editing’ folder I will normally create folders named ‘Wedding’, Engagement’, ‘Senior’, ‘Concert’. ‘Family’, ‘Sights’, and ‘Model’. This way I know where everything is easily, and what I have to work on. I love keeping everything separated by the type of session, therefore I can quickly find photos to share if need be for any new potential clients or even to show off for posts to hopefully find new clients.

            Inside my ‘Website’ folder I don’t normally create too many folders to break them up inside. Since I am just posting them to my website. I don’t need to find these photos as quickly as those in my editing folder. The photos that are inside of the ‘Website’ folder is usually lower resolution.

            This is basically how I organize my photos throughout the year. Sometimes I will label them by month taken to make them a bit easier. Other than that, I just try to keep them in their correct folders and keep as up to date as possible. Just a little insight into the chaos of keeping everything in order in my world. I hope you all have a wonderful day.
