Logan's Senior Session

You have brains in your head,

You have feet in your shoes,

You can steer yourself

Any direction you choose.

You're on your own,

And you know what you know,

And you are the one,

Who'll decide where to go.

-Dr. Seuss

Logan's Senior Sneak Peak

I had an absolute blast with this kid! I can't believe that he is a senior already!! How in the world is that possible??

Etsy Shop

I am now on Etsy! It is still a work in progress, so stop by often to check out my custom-made cards! As of right now, they are all digital files to be downloaded and used in Photoshop, but I am working on making it so you can order any card or invitation through me for your special occasions. This is a huge step for me and I am learning as I go, but am really excited!!

Check it out!

Photo Lab Test

I no longer offer a CD, flash drive, or digital download because of color variations in photo printers. To demonstrate, I ran my own test on one of my own personal images. This is my youngest child as a newborn. She was seven days old and still had some red marks on her face from delivery. All of my kids are born with a red strawberry birthmark on their forehead, between their eyes. I like to remember them the way they were, so I don't edit it out. For my little experiment, I ordered an 8x10 print from five different print labs to compare side by side. I was even shocked by the results! Because I'm not tech savvy, I couldn't figure out how to get the prints on my computer, so I scanned them in with my printer, leaving them just a hair overexposed compared to the prints. I have these at my house to show clients, if you'd like to stop by and compare for yourself!!


Professional Printing Lab that I use for all of my prints:

Snapfish: My pinkish baby is now looking like an alien baby!

Rite Aid: very saturated

Walgreens: Definitely one of the best prints in my test, but was very yellow. My baby looks like she has jaundice, which she didn't-she was the first one of my four kids that never had troubles with jaundice.

And finally, Walmart: I thought it was the worst print of the group.

Here they are all together:

Trevor

My very first session with a senior boy! There were a few shots that we tried that didn't work out, but I love learning and am grateful to Trevor for being my guinea pig. I don't know about him, but I had a ton of fun! To view Trevor's full album, visit aprilcarterphotography.zenfolio.com/trevor.
