I swear I am not trying to give anybody baby fever. It’s just that this week’s I Heart Faces theme is All About Babies and I had to share this maternity picture. I thought it might be a fun twist on the standard baby shot. If you’d like to see how beautiful this gorgeous couple’s…
I Heart Faces Photowalk Across America {DC Edition}
It was hot. Oppressively hot. Hot and sticky wet to the point of utter distraction. And yet, we strapped our cameras around our necks and the rest of our equipment around our backs, slipped on our walking shoes, and walked. And walked. And took a few pictures. Ok, we took a lot of pictures. We…
Hard at Play
While I’m hard at work editing a back-load of pictures from recent photo shoots AND this past weekend’s I Heart Faces photowalk in DC, I will leave you with a simple picture. One of my favorite shots of my youngest daughter, Reese, and my oldest niece, Chick. These girls know how to play. If you…
I Heart Faces – Yellow!
It’s yellow week at I Heart Faces, and this picture (which is the opening screen on my itouch) was the one that came to my mind. On a warm Spring day, Reese was playing in the backyard with water, and although I thought it was totally gross, I had to catch a picture of her…
Fix-It Fun
I needed a break from the routine, so I decided to play with this week’s fix-it picture on I Heart Faces. Here’s the original: For this first edit, I used the B&W Red Filter (high contrast) preset, added color noise reduction, luminance smoothing, boosted the clarity, added some highlight recovery, and then cropped. For the…
I Heart Faces {and Flowers}
It’s been a long and tiring but wonderful weekend. As tough as weddings are to photograph, they are also rejuvinating to me (now, don’t ask me how I feel about 2000+ pictures to process!). Here’s a sneak peek at the lovely bride. And since she was holding her flowers, I figured it was destiny. I…
{Celebrating Moms} I Heart Faces
My mother is a poem I’ll never be able to write, though everything I write is a poem to my mother. ~Sharon Doubiago I’ve got a bunch of guest posts coming in the next few weeks to give me time to prepare for the Casual Blogger Conference at the end of the month. I’ll also…
I Heart Smiles
I had another picture picked out for the I Heart Faces “Smiles” theme this week, complete with a cute poem that went perfectly along with it. And then I ran into this picture: And while I don’t have any profound words to say about this photo, I will say this: this moment that I snapped…
Flowers and Flames – Give Me Your Best Shot PSF
If I could rip my new iTouch away from my husband and kids, I would have taken a picture of it today. But since it is currently occupied, I will share with you some alternate pictures from my week. On Monday, we spent the evening with some friends who will be moving soon. We are…
I Heart Faces Easter Collage
Apparently my two oldest daughters are “too old” to get inside my basket to take our yearly Easter basket pictures. Luckily, my niece was in town to “fill in.” Collage made using MCP Actions free Magic Blog-It Board Action. Photos processed using “Warm Embrace” preset from Pretty Presets. (My newest favorite presets!) PS–enter to WIN…
