"Dreaming of What Could Be..."

"And if I'd end up happy."

----------

Oh, I just love this one! Kinda sad even, but I just LOVE the shot. One of my favorite portraits I've ever taken I believe. Only exposure editing here. Other than that, all natural!

"Don't Forget Me..."

"Nevermind, I'll find someone like you."

-----------

I'm not sure exactly what I think of this picture. I have mixed feelings; like and dislike. I did edit the lighting here, because it was just so dark, but other than that, nothin' much.

"I'll be Stronger..."

"Tomorrow, I'm gonna leave here."

-------------

This picture is kinda neat. Since the trees are so weighed down with the snow, I got beneath one of them and got this shot, hoping to catch the mountains in the background. This is what happened! I actually edited the temperature on this one to make it a little less blue. It's still got a bit of a cold hue, but that's alright.

"Tears Are Gonna Roll..."

"You had my heart inside your hand and you played it to the beat."

-------------

Would you take a look at those lashes?! She's a heart breaker; that's for sure. Anywho, another accidental shot that I kinda liked. Did some point softening and upped the contrast a tad. Not bad, not bad.

"In Another Life..."

"We keep all our promises; be us against the world."

-------------

There's so much snow that all the trees are hanging really low right now. This one caught my eye while I was feeding the horses up in the pasture. More mountains in the background. Just can't escape 'em here in Alaska! Minimal editing here; some softening, exposure, etc.

"Rollin' in the Deep..."

"It's bringing me out the dark."

-------------

My beautiful model is Jessica Owens on the violin. This shot was actually not meant to be artistic in anyway; we were just messing around. However, I absolutely LOVE the accidental shadow effect that somehow appeared on the right hand bottom corner of the picture and so I added a little softening... There you have it.

"It's Only Gonna Get Brighter, Brighter, Brighter..."

"The days are gonna get longer, the sun is gonna shine stronger!"

-------------

Well what do you know, another blue/gray winter mountain shot. As you can tell, I'm running out of subjects to shoot. No, no. I know, photographers should never think like that. BUT, I'm not gonna lie, it get's a little depressing! So here's what I got. Did some softening, exposure editing, etc. (lyrics used in title and caption taken from personal friend Jessica Owens)
