Pre-Proofing

When I get home from a session, I immediately download the pictures and pour over them while biting my nails hoping I truly captured the essence of the family I just spent an afternoon or morning with.

Then, I backup like crazy - onto my external, on my HD, and online backup.

After this, I pick which images I would like to proof.

This is all normal fare as far as workflow is concerned.

However, then I do something I call in my mind "pre-proofing."

This is when I go through the images and pick one image, usually an unorthodox one, that I love and just want to play with.  

Initially, I am looking to see how I want the entire session to come out color/feel - wise.  I do this on my "pre-proofing image!"

So here to share, just for fun - my pre-proof of my latest session!

I can't wait to work on all the rest!

Bon week-end!
