Dana | Trash the Dress

Oh, man - have we been busy!  Keep your eyes peeled for a bunch of blog posts this week...we have been super busy opening our studio, so haven't kept up with the blog like we should.  Anyhow...almost a month ago, we had a FABULOUS Trash the Dress session with our model/bride/friend, Dana.  She is a multi-talented beautiful friend of ours who started as a model for us, quickly became a friend, was a bride within a month of us meeting her (and Alexis shot her wedding).  So when she expressed enthusiasm for doing a Trash the Dress session - the answer was a giddy YES!!  We also were so lucky to find our beloved kitty, Hurricane - on the same day, so she got to share in another wonderful event in our lives.  Take a look at her awesomeness:

TotallyRad RadLab Review

Already a lover of all things TotallyRad, I was really excited to hear about RadLab and was one of the first in line for purchase. Immediately I grabbed some of my favorite wedding, portrait, landscape photos and went to work. I thought to myself, right away, "that this is so genius!" It gives me most of the actions I already love as presets so I can see the end result on the fly. I am also able to adjust to my liking each preset for even more fine tuning. This allows our studio to give our clients some extra "special" images along with our color, black & white, and vintage finishes without taking hours. I also find myself toying around with my own collection of images of our travels, family, and friends. What used to take hours for a few hundred images, now takes minutes. Where else can you load 1 image and see it dozens of ways? RadLab was sent from the heavens above and those heavens are TotallyRad. Whether you are a pro, pro-sumer, or someone learning the ways of the camera and all things that go with it, give RadLab a whirl and see for yourself how you can bring your images to life. They have a trial here.

Take a look at the sample image below taken for a ride through a few different presets. I showcased 1 image of a barn in Wells, Maine - 3 different ways + the original (the first image). ENJOY!!!
