Little Lady in Red

From a Valentine's Photoshoot w/my daughter. Edited in Adobe Lightroom.

Orchard Photos

The theme at I heart Faces this week is orchards and I have some recent orchard shots!

I think this is my favorite picture with a face in it.

For more shots from our Labor Day weekend, check out this post! 

Beach Day

This is probably my favorite photo (straight from the camera) from our Memorial Day beach trip. I don't think it counts for I heart Faces this week, since you can't see their faces very well. No one wanted to look at me when the ocean was on the other side. So I'm submitting this to I heart Faces but just for fun.

Fix-it Friday

Just because I have nothing to do today (ha, ha), I decided I wanted to try participating in the Fix-it-Friday at the I heart Faces blog.

Here's the original. A pretty nice photo to start.

So I decided to go more artsy and went for a warm vintagy look. What do you think?

I edited in PSP X2, and layered a couple of textures I have created.

I heart Silhouettes

My daughter and friend on the trampoline. The theme this week at I <3 Faces is silhouettes. I was glad to catch the sunflare. In editing I intensified the color just a little to add some interest. I love your feedback!

Handsome in a Hat

How cute is this little guy (my nephew) only a few months old?  I thought the hat was too adorable, so I'm entering this shot in this week's contest over at...

The theme is hats!

I Heart Her Face--Easter Pic

I posted a couple of cute Easter pics of my other children below, but I love this one of my baby girl, because it's a great pose and it is clearly Easter. I am submitting it to the Easter Edition of I heart faces photography competition this week. I had a bit of difficulty in editing her face since it is a bit shadowed by the hat, and would love any input you have to offer.

Cute kids on Easter

I took these of a couple of my cute kids on Easter. I used two different texture layers on both of them. One to warm up the skin tones (shooting in shade) and the other to intensify and add dimension to the background. I'd love your constructive feedback!
