Newborn Baby, Collage

I have been working on the pictures from my first newborn photo shoot for a while now.  Some of my favorites are here. (I added a few more to that post today)

Some other neat things that I did with the pictures…

Christmas

It’s Black Friday… I am NOT shopping!!  At least not in a store!!  Thinking Online Shopping & Local stores is more up my alley this Christmas!! 

If you are up for some online shopping & supporting local businesses I wanted to make an offer!!

How about a gift certificate for a photo shoot?

I could create a certificate for you to give?

And perhaps include some free prints!

Still working on an idea, so let me know if  you are interested!

 

CHRISTMAS CARDS!!

It is not to late to have custom designed cards!!  I am even willing to use your photos & create from there.

All I want to know from you is…

1.  What size & style of card you want.

2.  Which photos you want to use.

3.  How you would like the card greeting to go

4.  Color preferences you have.

I have some cards that I have done in the past that you could look at to see my work.  And more that I can email you!  I appreciate the chance to work with each of  you!  And will e-mail you the pricing if you e-mail me at momentsbypam at adamswells dot com

Here are two more that I created!

Rory & Morgan’s Family: NEWBORN!

When Morgan e-mailed asking me to come and do newborn pictures of her soon to be born son, well… I was a lot little nervous.  I was still a lot little nervous tonight as I finally pulled the shots I had up on my computer and got ready to play with them.  I was really concerned that I wasn’t going to have any good shots.  We used natural light from their windows for the inside shots.  I am pleased with how well they are turning out.  I will have a few more to add to this eventually, but I was excited so I wanted to share on here!

10 x 20 photo collage: James senior Studio Photo

5 photo edits of 167 James senior copy

This is a 10 x 20 Photo collage that is available with your photos!  (you know if you don’t want it with James photos)  I did a different edit on a few and thought this was a neat way to see the different things you can do with one photo!  Of course you can choose different photos to go in it (I would imagine that would be the choice of most!)  Request one of these photo collages & the pricing to me by email.

Sun-flares

Many people think that if you take a photo and it ends up with a sun-flare in it you have a poor quality picture.

Did you know that sun-flares are the latest in photography?  And if you happen to get a beautiful sun-flare in a photo it is viewed by other photographers as a true gem?

In fact this week at I Heart Faces the theme was sun-flares!  I didn’t enter the contest, because I didn’t think I had anything to offer.  I’ve been working on some photos and actually trying to add sun-flare to them! 

Today on I Heart Faces they are actually hosting a contest for some really great edits (for Photo-shop) that ADD SUNFLARE to your photos!!  OOOOOOHHHHHH…. so it’s okay to fabricate the sun-flare????  Emphasize the small sun-flares?  I guess so!!

I took this picture last Sunday.  This is Cary and Amy. (the rest of their family pictures will come soon) They have been in my life in a multitude of ways over the years.

Before:

Cary & Amy 052 copy

Nice picture.  Not wild about the color.  Indiana is not real colorful this time of year.  And every picture I took that day just seemed so washed out.  See that tiny spot on Cary’s arm?  A sun-flare!  It was sunny on this day & that gave me an idea!  I used some of the edits I got at Kaleidoscope (and I REALLY HOPE I WIN MORE!!!)

Cary & Amy 052 006 copy

What do you think of that?

It’s something to keep working on & but I think it is kinda cool!!

Scott, Lori, & Griffin

I really enjoyed meeting Scott, Lori & Griffin last week and taking their photos on another beautiful fall day!  I find that I really am loving working with new people & getting to know them… not to mention trying to grasp who they really are in the photograph!  I hope you enjoy seeing these as much as I enjoyed working with them!!

From Lori…

“We recently had the pleasure of working with Pam on our first family picture.  Wow!  What a joyful experience!  Pam was very professional, easy to work with, fun and made it so we actually enjoyed the time.  We have a little one and they don't seem to do what you want them to at the right moment!  Pam worked well with him and out of it came the best pictures I have ever seen.  They are fresh, different, beautiful and ours.  Pam, thank you so much for your hard work and for memorializing our memories!”  --Lori T.

Cory & Shelly’s Family

Shelly is a patient woman… it took two photo shoots for me to finally get some photos for their family!  See, they were the family who’s files I lost when my computer crashed a couple of months ago.  So, we finally found a time to redo them!  I think they turned out much better the second time than the first time, amazing what a little experience will do for a person! 

Thank you Shelly for being to sweet & patient with me!
