This afternoon I captured this moment in the doorway of Rachel’s home of her trying “The Hat” on Noah, her date for the Mistletoe Dance. I liked the light in the doorway and the car waiting in the background and the moment where they were messing around with the hat. I wish I had turned off the tungsten light overhead as it caused problems with getting a good color balance as it caused a bit more of a yellow cast than I would have preferred. I took care of most of it in post processing by using saturation and color adjustments. Always pay attention to different types of lighting when shooting your pictures, or you’ll have to spend a little more time in post processing.

Today Rachel and friends were heading out to go shopping and I thought it was a perfect opportunity for a picture involving “The Hat.” The fine folks at a local our local “Classy Closet” on North Seminary Street I was able to capture the three of them in front of a mirror, which always provides for fun of girls of all ages. Later today I’ll be shooting the Day 5 photo which involves her and a friend getting ready to head off to a dance.
