molly || senior portraits


I met Molly...the day of her senior pictures! No joke. She is one of my first "official" clients, and I was honored to capture her '13 senior shots. We went to a pretty park nearby, and took advantage of the gorgeous Fall colors before they left entirely. Molly was super fun to work with and has the cutest haircut + smile! Plus an adorable wardrobe. 

Enjoy these images--and for fellow photographers, this session was my first time shooting in RAW. Needless to say, I don't know why in the world I have never used it before. 

xo,
lucia

  3. These are your best photos yet, Lucia. No joke. They're absolutely fabulous. And what exactly does it mean to shoot in RAW what does it do to your photos to make them different?

    1. Thanks you, Natalia! :) well, shooting in RAW just gives you more editing power (as it is capturing the essence of the photo, not just what the camera wants to perceive). thus, if I had over-exposed anything, etc., I could fix it much more easily. No, it's generally not more grainy unless you're shooting at night...then it would be grainy already, so...;)

  16. Wowzers. You, my dear, have a GOD-given gift.

    I'm curious, what settings did you use (like f stop and all that)? These photos are GORGEOUS. I am trying to get manual mode all figured out.

    1. Thank you, Talia! I believe for these photos I was shooting with my Fstop at 1.8, white balance..shady? ISO 100 with 200 as my max...shutter speed 1/2000...exposure one stop over exposed. Good for you! It'll come with practice. :)

  25. The light and soft tones look beautiful in these; nice work. :)
    Congrats on discovering RAW! (I've found it to be invaluable, particularly when shooting in dark situations or once when I shot a waterfall in daylight without an ND filter or polariser)
