The Magic of Before + After | Washington DC Photographer

Who doesn’t love a good before and after? Today I’m sharing a few recent favorites. As a Washington DC Photographer I edit each image by hand to make sure the final images you see presented in your gallery have attention to details like bringing out a beautiful or dramatic sky, true-to-life vibrant colors and rich black and white conversions, and removing distractions wherever possible.

If you’re wondering how I edit. I bring all of my images into Lightroom to start. I work hard to capture images in-camera that are close to how I envision the final image. For the most part, Lightroom is all I need to adjust things like the crop of an image and white balance. I have Photoshop which I’ll use for more intensive changes like head swaps, opening eyes, things like that.

Some shots are a quicker edit, like most of the families below, and others take more time, like removing swimmers from pictures of my girls on the beach. I use my unique black and white conversion to add visual interest and depth, limit distractions, and/or to draw your focus to an emotion.

Opening eyes is one of my favorite “tricks.” I love this shot with Middle Brother being so sweet to Baby Sister and really wanted to save it for Mom.
