Invitation

A while back I photographed a friend of mine Rene and his partner Joshua. Recently, Rene and Joshua decided to take a big step in their relationship, and in July they will hold a commitment ceremony. Upon deciding to hold the ceremony, they asked me if I could duplicate a photo invitation that they saw online using a photo from their session.  I didn't copy the one they liked exactly, but I made one similar to it with a  few small changes. Here is my final draft below. Oh, if you've visited my blog before, you may have noticed a change at the top. I have a snazzy new logo designed by my awesome cousin Nic!

Old Pic, New Edit

About a year or so ago, I took some portraits for a real estate agent who was in need of a better head shot. At the time, I did some editing to his photos, but I just couldn't get him to not look tired. Since I never could get the photos to look close to how I wanted them, I never added any of them to my official portfolio. I recently discovered a few new ways to soften skin and make eyes pop. I decided to play around and try them out on this photo. I'm not sure if I like how these particular techniques look on a man, but it's always fun to try new things.
