Love these, Leah! Just curious, what actions did you use?

[melissa deakin]

such a gorgeous family!
i just adore your work so much, leah.
loved seeing some of the images of this family from the past...i remember that sweet thumb-sucking photo.

thank you all so much! most of the time i just use the simple actions, simple three or bisque. but i pull the action way back and sometimes tweak the inside layers to suite the photo...then i add a curve layer to taste. hope that helps!!

Ohh I love these so much! Leah, you're ability to capture families, children, and people in such a simple, yet elegant and purposeful way is really a gift.
Btw, I love the simple set actions all too much. They really are simple and get the job done without all the complicated layers to adjust. I use bisque on almost all my photos!
I really hope you come out with another set of actions. I use yours the most and am always pleased with the results they give... so I'm always up for more! :)

what a gorgeous session of a beautiful family! i love that about being a photographer... being able to see kids grow and getting to know them just a little more each and every time you see them!
