    Love em all.

    Are you bumping saturation in post, or do you have your camera set up that way, or is it just the bazillion MP's of the D800? There just seems to be that little extra burst of color similar to Fuji vs. Kodak in the olden days.

    ME too! and so does mom, she ordered a huge print and is getting it custom framed. makes me happy!


    thanks everyone, this was fun for all of us and the girls loved getting beautified. hope to be done with the other two tonight or tomorrow.

    Bryce, i'm not sure what I did exactly but I usually mess with the shadows/highlights/whites/blacks to my liking, increase vibrance about 5 in LR, custom curve, then I play with individual color saturations and luminosities. everything is done in LR4 until it looks like I want it. (then I usually go back the next day and I don't like it, so i change everything again rolleyes1.gif).
    but I'm sure the D800 files have a lot to do with it as well! that camera is just ridiculous. best money i've spent.

    Beautiful as always, Melissa! My onyl "nit" (and boy is it a tiny nit) is that you've changed up your processing recently, and sometimes I find it a teensy bit harsher than of old - #5 would be an example. Not sure if it's the clarity slider, or a preset or what but, especially with little people, I think you can let their softness shine through. All those perfect complexions!!!
