The Bakos Family | Covey Photography | Centreville, VA Photographer

Check out a new video of the Bakos family studio shoot! The Bakos' were hoping to get a few family portraits along with some shots of Molly (3 years) and Sebastian (8 months). If we learned anything during this shoot, it was that kids don't always feel like being in front of the camera. While Sebastian was happy as can be, it took some kid tunes, an ice cream bribe, and all of us doing the "hot dog dance" before Molly finally warmed up to the idea! We were able to catch some great video footage and a few priceless photos of a beautiful family.


To see more photos of our great session check out the video below!

Before and After | Covey Photography | Centreville, VA Photographer



I recently discovered a new sub-passion. Photoshop! I like taking a photos and turning them it into a work of art. Think of it this way, its like taking a pencil sketch and transforming it into a painting.

Right: Here my lovely assistant, my wife, let me practice taking some shots of her. The orginal photo is good. Nice lighting, great model, I like how the gray sets her from the background, giving a three-dimensional look. The after photo is exciting! It looks fresh and clean. I really enjoyed working on this photo. I touched up some parts and added a textured background using photoshop and BAM! There you go.
