Hi Amanda – I have admired your photos for a long time! My question is, can you give any tips/tricks on your post processing? Your pictures always look so clean, crisp and bright! I have such a hard time with skin looking ruddy… your skin tones are gorgeous – so creamy and milky. I would love to see a before and after post on some of your post processing! Thanks in advance!

I have a question (or two …) Did you have a photography mentor? If not, what resources/sites/books did you turn to when you were trying to learn more and increase your skills and grow your business. Second question is how do you determine your pricing?

I too would like to know more about your lighting set up…always looking for pull-back shots! I thought I read you shoot canon but what’s your favorite lens? Do you think L/Pro series lens is worth the $$? You wond that workshop, right? How is that going, are you learning a ton? What is the most valuable thing you have taken away from it yet? Oops…did you say one question or 10? I think I just asked a few too many!

Ummmmm….so I really want to just ask “How do you do it?” but fear that may be a bit vague. In an attempt to be more specific I would like to ask two questions:

1) What resources do you/did you use to learn about color correction and skin tone? Your skin tones always seem to even and milky. Mine are all over the spectrum right now.

2) Are you and Holly planning another workshop?

Thanks!

Love the Q&A posts. Ok so what type of camera do you use? Are you self taught? What computer and program do you use to edit? That was 3 questions is that fair? LOL Thanks a lot and love your work!

Love this!!! I think you should do it once a month!

Ok, so your images are so clean and sharp. What is your post process flow? I think I spend too much time getting images ready for the blog.

Do you use ps only? actions? what your fav trick?
