more lily + ryan

i got a lot done on these this week.  i like too many not to post all of them!

lily + ryan: sneak peak

i've really been falling behind on my blog lately...  mostly because i have too much to post and it seems like too much to do so i just don't do it.  luckily for me, no one reads this so it doesn't matter!  i need to practice writing more often though for when i grow up to be a famous blogger.

a couple sundays ago i met up with lily & ryan to do some engagement photos.  we went to a few locations - some with meaning to them, others that were just good spots for gigi to be in the background.  i actually like too many of these photos so going through them is taking a long time.  i need to get quicker at picking my favorites!  here are the first two i was able to fix up.

the first is in front of the first apartment they lived in together.  i was so excited that old man was walking by right as i took this shot!  i tried to put focus on them by desaturating the background a bit and brightening them up. i like how it came out.

this second shot i took in cavallo point.  the sun was going down and i wanted to play with the rays a bit.  lily & ryan were both very good sports about having to kiss so much!  this photo actually came out too dark, but i loved too much about this photo to not use it...  the ray of sun sneaking through and how they're right at the moment before the kiss which is much more exciting in a photo than the actual kiss...

more to come soon!!

another katy & ryan photo

okay, so this might get old - me posting one photo per day, but that's how i have been doing these. i went home at lunch to work on another photo, but didn't have a lot of time since i took the cable car to work instead of michael. hopefully i will be able to get a lot finished this weekend.

is this couple hot, or what??

photo edits

yesterday i sent those 4 photos to katy and while she said she loved them, she did point out that in the first two it looks like she has a black eye. i was very embarrassed i over looked that important detail, but am happy she said something because i will definitely be paying more attention to small details like that with all other photos... rather than try to rush through to get them finished during my sneaky lunch hour. ha.

anyway, so here are the fixes i made to the first two photos. while i couldn't completely get rid of the shadows in the eye socket, i think these new photos look much better.

katy & ryan - engagement photos

on saturday i met katy & ryan bright and early at the ballpark. i am completely unable to get myself to my cubicle job during the week at 8am, but funny how easy it is to get to a job i love at 8am... especially when it's outside and the weather is gorgeous.

we took a walk around the park stopping for photos along the way. i was surprised at how many photo opportunities there were that didn't involve baseball gloves and statues.

i snuck out of work today during lunch for an hour or so to work on the photos. here are a few of my favorites:






can't wait to shoot their wedding up in napa in september!
