2009 Softball Portraits......

Madison loves softball!! I always take her softball portraits. This year, I have the privilege of photographing all the teams in the Buckhead Dixie Softball League! I snapped these of Madi for use as examples. I did magazine covers, trading cards, bookmarks, leather portfolio keepsakes, keychains, bagtags, buttons, memory mates, & LOTS of other items!! Call for an appointment! (I'll have more softball portraits coming up soon!)

^ This one, I highlighted Madi & made her surroundings darker. I think it made it more dramatic........ I like dramatic!!!

^ This is a "memory mate". You can also change out 1 of the pictures for a team shot.

^ We happened to be shooting in the evening when the sun was setting. It was right behind her head. I love the effect that it made!! Very dramatic!

^ I added the grunge effect to this one, & just didn't like it, so I added softness to compensate.

^ Madi is a pitcher this year! (her 1st year!!) They require that they wear these face masks. She really hates it, but I'm glad. I don't want her pretty face to get busted!!!

^ This is just a color variation of the one above. I LOVE to do that!!! ^ Traditional pose. It's nice, but I like more natural & "art-like" shots!

^ Another color variation!

^ This is my favorite shot!! I love how serious she looks! I also love the "grunge" effect. Unfortunately, I really hate a few things that stand out in it. Let's see if you see what I do......

^ Another color variation. (Chromium tone)

^ I had to come up with this idea fairly quickly. I didn't want a traditional looking trading card for Madi, so - thanks to Photoshop - I created this. She likes it, that's all that matters!!

^ Back of trading card.

^ I Love black & white!

^ This was Madi's favorite. It originally had her hand hanging over the other end of her bat, but I thought it looked like someone was reaching their hand through the fence. So I erased her hand out. She really likes the grunge effect!
