The third and fourth images are of interior views. The interior views of the images are my favorite ones. They show what the library looks like.

Between finding the perfect dress. Dealing with the crazy family. Doing the father daughter dance. As well as learning the Waltz and surprise dance and all of the busyness. Sometimes we forget that someone is becoming a woman in the Latin culture. A Quinceanera is a very important day and with months of planning a perfect day filled with happiness, joy, and love.

Light Room

By Rachel Estrada

My very first adobe light room edited photo. I had to use the adjustment brush to get just the yellow to show. Then I had to adjust the hue to make the yellow line more vibrant.

Old Sacramento

By Rachel Estrada

This is a picture from Old Sacramento it is one of my favorites i love how the shadowing defines this structure and makes it look so bold.

By Rachel EstradaThis is in the candy store I focused on the bucket. So the candy in the background is blurred. I tried to get most of the lighting on the bucket.
 By Rachel Estrada       This is the image after I edited it i love it even more. It is so bold.

Today I was learning how to pan and it was also kind of a free shoot. It was really fun to learn how to make  it look blurry and clear at the same time it was amazing.

Formal Portraits

By Rachel Estrada

This is a photo of Xavier he was modeling today so we can learn to take a nice and lean formal portrait.
He was very relaxed and calm. I think he looked better with his glasses on. He looks very nice.

By Rachel Estrada

This was behind the scenes of what was happening and what we were learning. We were seeing how the lighting affected the subjects. It was difficult at first. We ended up getting the hang of it.

Formal Portraits.

By Rachel Estrada

Learning how to take self portraits today. This is a picture of Britany. I focused on her I had to adjust the f-stop and the shutter speed to get some nice lighting. I had to take this picture about five times. She looks gorgeous and the wall really makes her standout more.

This picture is of Misty. She looks really pretty in this picture. I had to really adjust the exposure quite a few times. She looks amazing. It was really cool learning to take formal portraits.
