Lives MADE NEW!

It was an awesome weekend at The River Church and Bethany Beach!

The Holtzman family could not have picked a more perfect evening for their family photos! A beautiful sunset, an incredible sky, and a gorgeous evening at Indian River Inlet made for the perfect backdrop.

I loved getting to spend part of their family vacation with them and capture some memories they can take home with them. Thank you so much for trusting me to capture these moments for your family!

We got the senior session in last night, but the sky was looking a bit gnarly just before we wrapped up at Brittingham Farms. I hope everyone made out ok! Praying for those affected by the tornado in Dover!

A few more from around Boothbay!

Never really tried close up (not quite macro) photography before, but I thought these turned out well. May make a print of the second image.

📸 Fujifilm X-T5, Fuji 35mm f1.4, Classic Chrome. Straight out of camera aside from some cropping.

I've now done my fair share of weddings, both large and intimate. This one was pretty special.

I absolutely love the intimacy of this celebration. One of the most meaningful moments of the day was watching Megan's dad officiate the wedding. As both a father and the one leading the ceremony, it was clear just how much this day meant to their family.

Thank you, Megan and Lucas, for allowing me to capture such a genuine and intimate day. Congratulations to you both, and may God richly bless your marriage.

It still blows my mind that the Truitt triplets have graduated. And Jaxson is 11? What?!

With college on the horizon and life moving faster than any of us want it to, Michelle and Shane wanted to get some updated family portraits. Thank you so much for asking me to capture these memories!

The Huston family could not have picked a more perfect afternoon for beach photos! Beautiful weather and temperatures in the 70s. Can they all be like this?

Thank you for asking me to capture these memories. I hope you enjoyed your evening in Fenwick and the rest of your vacation!

Why do most professional photographers edit their photos? Why don't they give you their RAW files? Here's why!

RAW files are massive, like 30ish megabytes with my camera, about 45 megabytes for Canon R5ii users, and up to 80 megabytes or so for Sony A7IV users. If the photographer is using a medium format camera like a Hasselblad, their RAW files can be well over 100 megabytes! Why? They contain a ton of digital information, much more than if the photographer is shooting in jpeg format rather than RAW (not hating on jpeg photographers, they're great too!) For me, a full family shoot can be upwards of 40 gigabytes. A wedding is hundreds.

The first image is the unedited RAW file. I typically underexpose most images so I can preserve detail in the highlights (bright parts). I have confidence in my camera's dynamic range that when I raise the exposure and shadows in post, I know I will still get a clean image.

Conversely, there are times (most) when you do want to properly expose for the subject, which means the sky can be overexposed straight out of camera. Editing software like Lightroom or Capture One help you retain the details in the bright portions of the image while lowering the exposure.

The unedited version also doesn't always capture the photographer's vision. This particular shot was completely candid and not planned. I was checking a few images on my camera from a previous pose, turned around and saw this moment. I had a split second to capture it and no time to worry about camera settings, framing, or what was in the background. (Sorry Tallie that I deleted your husband and son 😅)

Anyway, thank you for coming to my TED Talk.
