Before & After

I have been MIA from this lovely blog hop for a few weeks now. I have been swamped and completely overrun with all of this moving jazz; but now that I have a new photo to show off, I wanted to make sure that I linked up. Here is one of the toughest shots I had to edit from my session with Mandi and her family this weekend. [You can find the other shots from the session right here.] I loved the expression on Maddy’s face, but the giant distraction in the background had to go. Here is the before and after:

See what I mean? That giant pump thing in the background was a HUGE distraction. But for those of you who photograph children often, you know that when you are dealing with a feisty, excited and rambunctious two year old, that you have to shoot where you can and hope for the best. Fortunately for me, I was able to clone out that hideous background and replace it with something much more acceptable.

Hope you guys have a great Thursday!!
