Busy Season

Oh man. I'm sure you've seen these same words around the photography blog-o-sphere. It's busy season! I don't mean to be neglecting my lovely blog, but I'm busier outside taking photographs!!! It's a great thing =)

Stick with me, soon things will calm down and I'll have tons of posts full of beautiful babies and families!

To hold you over here are my 2 beautiful kiddos:

Edit Me Week 20

I've had the oppotutnity to photograph a few newborns recently so I totally connected with this week's Edit Me photo from Kala!

SOOC:

My Edit:

I used ACR to warm up the photo and added contrast. Then in PSE7 I cloned out some of the baby stuff on her face than ran 2 actions from the NEW Florabella action set! Beautiful!!!

Edit Me Week 18

Week 18's picture is of a place I've actually been to! The Navy Pier in Chicago! That was quite a long time ago (high school trip) but I definitely remember the fun we had hanging out down there!


The image this week is brought to us by the one and only, Kathryn - the Edit Me challenge co-host!


Here is Kathryn's SOOC:







My Edit:








I went a little wild and crazy this week! I brightened it up a bit in ACR and then wanted to play with some of the effects in PSE7. I almost NEVER go into the effects palette, but for some reason it was calling me tonight ;) Under the Brush Strokes tab I selected "Accented Edges." After that I ran a color pop action. I like it and think it reflects the fun and crazy nature of the Navy Pier!

What To Wear Wednesday

For the September installment of What To Wear Wednesday I'm focusing on Seniors, in honor of all the students returning back to school!!!



One of the best things about Senior sessions is the amount of fun outfit changes they have!!! These are 4 great choices to show a variety of looks, lengths and styles that would lend to an awesome variety of images!!!

Edit Me Week 17

We're back from our Labor Day vacation just in time for this weeks, Edit Me Challenge!


Our image this week is from: Jill Samter Photography. What a beautiful farmhouse photo! I wish it were that green here in Oklahoma!


SOOC:








My Edit:








I opened the image up in ACR and made some minor exposure adjustments to brighten the picture. The in PSE7 I ran Florabella's Vivid Color action and painted over the reds, blues and greens. That really made the colors POP! Then a ran a "sunshine" action to further brighten and warm up the photo. Lastly, a little sharpening. That's it!





Thanks for stopping by and feel free leave some commment love and check out other beautiful edits.

Edit Me Week 16

We have another sweet beach themed photo this week! Oh, how it makes me miss Florida and look forward to the day when I can get my kiddos back and take some beautiful images like this!

Before:


My Edit:





I made minor adjustments in ACR then opened it up in PSE7. I ran a sun-flare action and then Florabella's B&W Champagne Haze. I really like the sun-filled, dreamy look!

I Heart Faces: White

The theme this week at I Heart Faces is white!
My son turned 2 yesterday (Sunday) and I pulled out my white backdrop and took some birthday shots of him. This is definitely one of my favorites from that day!




Happy 2nd Birthday Little Man!!!
