Welcome!

Thanks for visiting my blog! If you're a client looking for your sneak peeks, note that I normally have them up within a few days of the session, but at times it may take me up to a week. Remember to click on the picture to see it bigger, and feel free to nab these for use on Myspace, Facebook, or emailing to friends and family (but note- these are web-sized images, and not suitable for printing. Also, please do not remove my watermark. I'm proud of these images and want everyone to know I took them :) I make it small and discreet- and I'd rather not have to put a big, obnoxious watermark across them instead... So please help a girl (& the rest if my clients) out and respect my copyright! Thanks).
If you're a prospective client, make certain to visit my website for more images and info. There's a link in the sidebar. Please contact me with any questions or to schedule a session: gypsyisledesigns@yahoo.com. Thanks again for visiting and enjoy your stay!

artistic edit...

For most of my client's images I do what I call a straight edit... correct skin tones and blemishes, and make sure the colors are nice and vibrant. I save my "artistic edits" for my own images or my landscapes. But I find these far more satisfying from a creative standpoint... and every now and then I just feel the need to play with a client's image to see if I can find something I like better than just a normal run of the mill portrait.

Today was one of those days when I needed a bit of a creative release! I had fun playing with one of Ms. Kristin's images... in the end I ended up with 6 different versions- all of which I liked for different reasons. I decided I would put the most "out there" version on my blog... it just makes me smile when I look at it- I think it is a beautiful image, green/blue streaky hair and all!
