Skin Retouching

Looks like all of my Senior Reps are doing a fantastic job representing Lavenda Seniors! Our traffic numbers and up on both the blog and the website, which means lot's of browsers and interest in Senior Sessions. Just remember, the sooner you book- the better!

I have had some questions about the different between "editing" and "retouching" and decided to give a few examples of what I do. Most photographers edit their photos to a certain extent, including color correcting and adding a bit of depth and contrast to the shots. Many Senior Photographers end their editing here.

Lavenda Seniors offers professional skin retouching on EVERY photo you order for print! We use the same techniques reserved for fashion and commercial shoots to give our Seniors a BETTER, more authentic product. Our end goal is to give our seniors a truly natural texture, blemish free! (In other words, no glamour shots... less IS more!)

Example one: You can see lighting, color and skin retouching in subtle details.

Example two: You'll notice in the example, that I even fixed her hair afterward.

Example three: Our skin retouching techniques are more obvious in this example.

As you can see, coming to Lavenda Seniors with a break out (or two!) does not mean a canceled shoot ( :

Rompers

I was SOOO excited to see short, rompers become so popular! I remember seeing old polaroids of my mom and aunts wearing them in the 70's. Just one more item to add to our ever-growing closets!!

Anyhow, here a few of my favorites. Price points starting as low as $20! ( sorry, I couldn't find a picture of my own romper, found on sale last month at abercrombie. )

Trend Page: Florals and Leather

It was so much fun shooting the 2010 Rep's and seeing everyone's various fashion statements. From bohemian vintage to preppy conservative, I shot some very distinct styles. I was not surprised to note that several must-have items could swing from one style to another with taste. Say "hello" to florals and leather:

Selena Gomez looks great in exaggerated florals.

And Taylor Swift pulls of florals both on and off the stage.

Here is our teen rocker, Taylor Momsen, who has been seen wearing several leather jackets with everything from plaid to denim.

And Demi Lovato has the perfect blend of florals and leather. (second photo from fashion editorial).

We must never forget about essential accessories...

Shoes: Hatty and Moo

What is your favorite floral, and/or leather piece???

*Since Lavenda Seniors is a direct creation and inspiration of my fashion background, I would like to establish this blog as reference for current TEEN fashion. So, you'll be seeing LOTS trend pages from now on!
