This week I realized that I failed to individually keyword the pictures from our family vacation last summer. They were generically labeled “vacation” and the place we went, but nothing specific. I feel like I’ve just rediscovered 875 photos; none of them have appeared on keyword searches for individual family members before now.
Tagging 875 pictures containing various combinations of our 10-member family is a time consuming process. About half are finished. These images have the power to transport me to what I would easily label my favorite family vacation: our oldest son was with us; my camera was new and every shot was a revelation, a discovery; the weather was mild; the quiet mountain cabin suited us perfectly.
Here I was experimenting with one of my favorite angles for photographing children: looking down. These were taken in a stream in the Smoky Mountain National Forest.

Such awesome images of your beautiful daughters! I love your photography, Dawn.
Love your pics! I’m a budding photographer and I was wondering what your workflow process was for that last shot…it’s crystal clear and so colorful!

BLAH BLAH BLAHger:
I went back and checked all my settings for the last shot:
Nikon 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6G lens
focal length: 22mm
ISO 200
On import into Lightroom, I applied the Nikon Auto Enhance – Vivid preset.
Then I used the Lightroom preset General – Punch. Then I applied Matt’s Edge Darkening 3 preset.
I love Lightroom, and the presets really simplify my workflow. My favorites are from Matt Kloskowski’s Lightroom Killer Tips blog.
These pictures are just stunning – as are the models 🙂
