Welcome

I am a natural light photographer, specializing in Seniors, Individuals and Engagement Sessions. I love to capture the special memories that will be cherished by your family for years to come. Capturing real life as a portrait is what I love to do. Real. Life. Portraiture.

My "I ♥ Faces " entry....

I am excited about this new blog contest. It looks like it should be fun! I have a few sessions from this weekend that I hope to get posted soon! A maternity session and a family/baby session! I can't wait to get working on them!

Thank you! This is a favorite of mine! I wish I could claim this adorable little girl as my own, but its from a family session I did a few months ago. Really, I think her curls and adorable expression make the photo! I was just in the right place at the right time!

not only is she adorable, but it's just such a classy looking photograph. Love the processing on this.

p.s. I would love to know how you did it and if I could ever do that in elements...

This photo is absolutely breathtaking! Beautiful processing, as well.

Kristin said...

I love how the green coat just pops in this picture, as well as the intense look in her eyes! Great Picture!

Bethany Haile Photography said...

Thanks again for all the wonderful comments. I had no idea everyone would enjoy this picture so much. I knew I liked it... :)
I try not to process my pictures too much but I believe I did use an action for photoshop called "Portrait Pop" for her eyes. And on her coat I *might* have used a color boost action, otherwise (ha ha) it is sooc.
