Kids

so my gf and I started up a photography business specifically targeting kids, families, weddings, etc. There's only one other photographer in town, so business is picking up. (the advantages of being a big fish in a small pond). here are some shots I took from the last shoot we did.

cool stuff....

how do you get that desaturated feel to the first and third photos?

these are good. so much better than sears family photo time.

there's a florabella action in photoshop called "cosmopolitan" - I'll run that action, take off the preset color adjustments and run a creamy light filter on it (which is why the sky is a bit orange-grey and not blue). then just desaturate like normal using photoshops essential tools just by a smidgen.

it's amazing how many parents are willing to throw around money just for a good few pics of their kids. easiest cash I've ever made.

yeah man i feel like you could really bank if you did a little advertising or networking in austin as well, your work is excellent

thanks for the tips, btw, i fuxaround with pixlr.com a bit, which is a free online version of photoshop basically.

thanks man I appreciate that. the good money is in weddings. we just shot a wedding in Denton two weeks ago and it's bank.

Right now we just pick up business through facebook, which has worked out tremendously. Our website is almost done, but for now, FB is killing it. Lots of bored housewives sitting around with their kids wanting to "show up" the other parents and their kids with quality photos. It's great.

good for you man!

Nice work Timmy - I hope you get rich doing this stuff!
