Celia is one of my good friends. We met each other through the local co-op and have had so much fun working shifts together, shopping together, chatting together, and just hanging out. She's an amazing young lady. So bright, so friendly, and so mature. It was an honor taking her senior photos. We didn't realize just how soon the sun is setting these days (it shifts so quickly!) and ended up leaving the ocean to drive to our field and realize it was almost dark! I had to bump up my ISO for the last shots to 1250, open up to a 1.4f, and tried to have really steady hands...
Soon she'll be off doing amazing things with her amazing self. Celia...just come back to visit often, okay?! I love you girl! xoxo
The below is an example of what kind of light we were dealing with. It was dark! I had to really play with it in PS, but I'm happy with the results.
These are awesome, I especially like the first one and the one you gave an example of regarding the darkness. Good thing you are shooting raw - gives you more to work with!!
Today was fun, so now I need to see what I have on my camera!!

I love your edits. The last photo, comparing the before and after, is amazing. Inspiring for me in my photography, too!

Nice touch up work with the lighting. I'm amazed at how you were still able to get your trademark look and feel with the darker photos. You are truly talented. :)
