It's a photo makeover!

I confess: I love a good makeover. It's the reason I used to obsess over TLC design shows, the reason I sometimes (I admit it) check out gossip mags while in the checkout line, and even the reason I like to clean our house. I love to look at something that's pretty, but plain, before, and see what can be done to make it end up looking really really ridiculously good looking.

That's where the fun in editing is, for me. Sure, we could deliver our photos to you as they're taken. But where is the fun in that? Every single photo that we place in a client gallery has a little bit, or in some cases a lot, of artistic love applied by yours truly (the "M" in JAM, that is...I'm working on teaching Jordan ma editing skillz). Because really, we've got to add our own style and magical touch. So check out below for just a few rockin' before-and-after shots. And keep in mind that these are all done individually. We don't batch-process, y'all. :) Everything's done in Lightroom & Photoshop CS4, in case you're curious.

This is one of my favorite shots of these girls, and mom's too (we used it on their holiday card last year). It needed a good crop, and the marble & concrete needed a good cleaning!

This SOOC shot isn't bad at all, but it needed some contrast and a pop of color.

Definitely the most dramatic change from this bunch. Cute shot above, but a little bit boring as far as color goes (in my opinion), and a little tilted as I shot it while walking backwards. Love the end result!

More of these cuties coming in sneak peek form later today. :)
