I have been so negligent of this poor blog!  One of my New Year's resolutions is to do a better job keeping it (and you!) updated on what's new.  So today I decided to go back and look at some pictures I took of an engagement session in Bend, Oregon last summer.  I loved these pictures, but I knew my editing skills had grown quite a bit over the last 5 months of practice!  I re-opened all 20 files, and went back over each one, the way I would edit them if I'd taken them today.  I couldn't believe the difference!  Here's a before and after of one of them (before on top):

Not a huge difference, but you can see the 'after' image has more detail, and the color is more accurate.  It also has a softer overall look, which I love for a romantic image like this!  I'm so glad I had the opportunity to re-edit this album before this client ordered her prints.  I want to always offer the best of my work!  

So, in the continuing effort to blog more often, I'm resolving to write a new post at least twice a week!  Wish me luck! :-)
