Fun with Post-Processing

A lot of time, love, blood, sweat, tears...etc. goes into making photos beautiful. Sure, while you are shooting there are pressures to capture the right moments, make sure your focus is sharp, and be creative. As any photographer knows, things don't end when you upload them to your computer.

It's kind of a roller-coaster ride going through the RAW files for me...there's the excitement when I see lots of potential in photos & disappointment when some didn't turn out exactly as I had planned. I rarely let anyone see my RAW files, except Sheena.

Editing takes some time. Sometimes I just feel overwhelmed, that I'll never get through a batch of photos. Then I see the end result and it makes me happy. If you know me, you know I love to be happy. :-)

My weddings for this year begin in May. If you're my Facebook friend, my status everyday will probably be "Cassie is editing like a crazy mad woman" followed by an update on how you should look at my newest blog post. It's extremely exciting and I can't wait for the weddings to begin!

Now, enough rambling! I'm breaking my rule & showing you some of my straight out of the camera (SOCC) shots! Here are some before & after editing for your enjoyment:
