Photo Memories by J.C. Editing Options

We are so glad to be a part of our friends and families lives and be allowed to share with you their experience with PMbyJC, it has been a pleasure getting this year off the ground and started early with limited editing abilities, limited knowledge of how to bring more of my photos to life.

Here we are a year later, with new software, more knowledge and experience and more excited to now taking photos of my subjects, edit them with not only typical small edits such as contrast, lighting, and cropping the photos, but to add fun doses of color, borders, and even change from Black and White, to Sepia, Focal Black and Whites and Soft Focus as some typical editing options.

Now I am even able to do more and am so excited to see these pictures really come to life, and watch my photography abilities and business grow and become more than I ever thought possible. I hope you enjoy this posting, with just some options for editing that will show how we can really have fun with your photos, or if you want simple we can just point, shoot, and print.

Here are a few of the photo options given to a High School Senior for her Senior Photo Shoot...



Original Photo from Shoot No Edits




Special Edit of Boost (Boosting color and Light) and
Adding a Vignette around the edges

  Ashley loved her photo Session and told her family at her Graduation Party where they were presented, "I love my photos, they are better than I ever expected and better than my friends too!"


Changed the Photo to Black and White




This was the original Photo, no edits cropped down to size






Edited light and bit of color, but added a vignette
for final print






Many People like Sepia, this is similar, Only I like the tones
and color better, I edited in Black and White then
Warmified the photo, to get this shade of sepia with high shadows.

























As you can tell, there is a lot of simple edits here, but editing is time consuming, it isn't just about clicking the button and your are done, you have to make sure the light, shadows, color, composition, sharpness, and tones and highlights are just right. It is a sort of craftsmanship that takes time and a careful eye, but is a lot of fun!

Additional Special Edits Available to All!


This is a new editing option for me called Lomoish, it boosts
the white light, and some color, then gives a black shading
around the outside of the photo.

  It doesn't matter where or when these photos are taken, you can ask your photographer about special edits and what is available to them. We make these special edit photos available as part of the photo package choices, at no additional costs.

We love to have fun, make these photos memorable and give you a sense of style, whether you have a large budget for your families photo session or a small budget.

We want all our customers, to feel like friends and family, and that we cater to all!

That's the Photo Memories by J.C. Way!



As I stated eariler Sepia is a special edit that is
requested often, seen here




Adding Name and Graduation date to a senior
portrait is a special edit many parents like for
a special memory on a photo or two




Pencil Sketches is a fun edit option, and made
a nice gift for this senior



Another option is the soft focus which focuses on
subject and then blurs the around the subject
then I added a Vignette, for more emphasis.
