The Damush Family

Eyes that go from blue to green and back again – they have both shades in there to the point I had to put the camera down, come very close and just look into her gorgeous eyes. Are those green or blue I asked? I saw both colors, and the camera picked up both as well. Unreal. Simply stunning.

Meet gorgeous 2 year old Ariel and her beautiful parents. Her Mom is Roshelle (Shauna’s sister) who I spent my young years looking up to (being 4 years older was a big difference when I was 11!) and she is even more kind and loving on the inside than she is beautiful on the outside. Jon too. They are such a wonderful family and I was so thrilled they wanted to do some family photos when I was out in CA last month, because look at them!


For you photographers out there, despite what some might assume, I don’t overly post-process my images. If I do apply actions to images after general Lightroom color correcting (and certainly not all have actions applied), the actions are always pulled back to somewhere between 15-40% depending on the image. (Actions work by way of adding layers in Photoshop and then adjusting the opacity of those layers.) I like a subtle pop, nothing overly dramatic or too overdone. But these are her real eyes!

Rosh - Sweet Jen, I just realized you posted our pictures on your blog…Shauna filled me in (not sure how I missed that detail). Anyhow, we so loved and appreciated all of your comments, especially the ones about our little Ariel! Thank you for your kind words about her parents as well. :) We were blown away by her eyes too…but we do credit you for capturing them in that way. I have never seen them like that before. I agree with Marnee above, you are inspiring! Thank you again!

Marnee Marriott - Beautiful Images! I am LOVING those eyes. I couldn’t help but comment instead of just stalk!

I’m enjoying your CA pics. We go out to CA every year as well, and I keep thinking I need to start doing some family shoots out there. You are so inspiring!
