Before & After...


          I just wanted to show you all the power of Photo shop. It takes an ordinary everyday, darling picture into BAM! Look at the colors, and the sharpness. I just love what editing can do for pictures. I try not to overdo it. I want people to say, WOW look at that amazing picture, not, wow look what she can do with photo shop. Now don't get me wrong I would love to be able to take SOOC (straight out of the camera) pictures like this, but I'm not there yet. This is my goal. :)


          I want to let everyone know I will be changing my specials on April 1st. If you want to take advantage of March's special call to book your appointment today and I'll reserve the price for you. The prices are listed to the right. Thanks!

The T Family










       This was a fun shoot I got to do about a month ago. It was a freezing day out and the kids were cold. Gotta love the first of spring. I still was able to capture some really cute shots. Thanks again Chelsie. Hope you enjoy your sneek peek :)

New Display


          How cute is this. It is fabulous to display anywhere in your home. Your kids bedroom's, a living room, a hallway. Anywhere you want to, really. It is timeless and classy. I am going to make one for my home right now!!!

           Each picture is 20x10. It makes a large display. If you don't have that much room, I could print them at 10x5". What a stunning way to display your session.

          The creators of this are wonderful photographers. You should defiantly check out their work. www.purephotoshopactions.com  It is AMAZING!!!

Little Miss K...







      Hello everyone!!! I am so sorry I have been M.I.A. lately. We have had a horrible round of sickness at my house. We are all finally feeling better and I am back to work.  Wahoo!!! In case anyone is interested my sale prices are in effect until the end of March. Hurry to make your sitting today :) Pricing is listed to the right.

     Now on to the cuteness that is Miss "K". Oh I was definitely in heaven when I showed up for this session. She is adorable!!! Seriously get out the guns Daddy! It started out a little rocky, but look how amazing these photos turned out! She was a perfect cowboy princess. I so love the boots with the tutu. It can't get any cuter than this. Thanks again Mandy. Hope you liked the sneek peek. More to come soon....

Image of the day


             It's Friday!!! I can't believe how fast this week has went for me. I guess being busy does that. I just wanted to share a quick photo of the day with all of you. I may not have a chance to publish a new post for a couple of days. I have a Valentine clinic tomorrow that I am so excited for. Can't wait! Such cute ideas in store for the girls.

              I've been working on a new brand for all my logos and my business in general. I tried it out on this photo. What do you think? I like the little touch of pink. Have a great weekend everyone!

One photo several different ways

             I've been looking a lot lately at how to make every photo I take different and exciting. This is harder than you think. Sure I can change angles, or composition or even the pose and accessories, but sometimes there is a certain image that just speaks to me. Usually by accident. This is an example of one of my favorite photos of my oldest daughter. I shot about 100 frames of her this particular day and although some were much more appealing in other ways (like exposure, framing, poses, etc.) this one just got to me. Maybe it was her eyes, or the look on her face. I can't really put my finger on it, but I love it. And as a Mom or to a client this is what I strive to deliver. A photograph that you love to look at. Something you just love to pass by while it hangs in a special place in your home. This is one such portrait for me. Enjoy!




                                     Straight out of the camera. Not bad but lacking a little oomph!



                                
                                 Color edit. Just made the colors pop!




                                 Black & White Conversion


                          And finally my favorite. Look what a little cropping can do to change it up.



More to come soon...

Miss Jen

        This is a follow up to the session I posted yesterday. I wanted both girls to shine all on their own so I chose to do two different showings for them. This is Jen. She is one of my best friends and GORGEOUS inside and out. Ever since we met we have just connected. Gosh I love that. It has only happened a few times in my life. They know who they are and they know they are my favorites :) I love some girl time.

         Now on to the fabulous photos.  Enjoy Jen. Hope they made him smile :)

This gorgeous girl is my daughters best friend Heather. Isn't she gorgeous..... :) They came up for a special photo shoot this weekend and it was so great to see them and have some fun on the trax. Here's what came out of it. Enjoy!!!




                                            My very favorite of the day. Can we say MODEL? 





              This cute shot was an idea of hers. Just playing around and it was one of my favorites. Quite a trooper to lay down on the tracks like that :)










                       Gorgeous high key effect. I thought it might be a little blown out, but I like it. It's all in a persons opinion right???  To each their own, and we love it!




                   Check out my new chair!!!! I absolutely love it!!! To see more of their work go to    www.aryannsplace.blogspot.com They do truly beautiful work! An awesome mother and daughter team. Thanks again.
