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!!
