One of a kind:
thought i would share this... this is a recent senior that i did and she wanted her invitations
to be different from the usual HS grad invites. so here they are and this doesnt even
show all the detail thats really on the cards. they had a pearl coating over them that just
really made them have a nice finished look. i was extremely happy with the results. so, remember this seniors... and another cool thing is you choose you fav for the back and thats a frameable pic, so you dont have to send a wallet b/c its all in one...

front: back:

Before & After:
this is fun.... i like before and afters b/c you really see the PS work that is involved in the
whole photography process. its not just take the picture then you are done (for me anyway)
thats just the beginning... then you get to create the "art" of your photography. most of the time i just do a little sharpening, color enhancing, ect... but sometimes an image requires a little more.
in this one not only did i do my special color enhancing trick, but i took out the two people in the background... and the tire swing. whatcha think? most ppl probably wouldnt even have noticed it either way huh??? haha well i do, so... :)

New Places:

here are a couple of new "structures" that i have been shown or stumbled upon.

i love to shoot in new places. if possible, i would go to a new location every single time

i have a session. so, if you have any awesome places.... fell free to tell.

i can just see this in a fairytale story.... so bright, green, peaceful and fuzzy. yes, fuzzy!

and then this old church. dark, shady, a bit creepy... not very "fuzzy" hahaso different these two places... but they are both so fun and interesting with their own personalities....

ICECREAM::

Makin' new friends:
this weekend we found the time to meet up with jaren, her niece cailey and nephew aiden
and Anne-Camillie and 2 of her 3 kids, madeline and cortland. besides it being FREEZING cold and windy.... we and the kids had a lot of fun. after we left, laykin asked if they could all be her best friends. she loves to meet new kids. finally... shes coming out of her shell a bit.
