Photoshop Goodies

This one is for the photographers...
One of the best things about the photography business is all of the great artists out there. I have a handful of children's photographers that I would be my favorites. On the top of my list is Brenda Acuncius. When I first started photography I had the hardest time making a black and white photo that I loved. Someone told me about her actions for photoshop and I loved them. Brenda recently started a website to sell her actions http://www.actionsbybrenda.com/ Take a look and stop by her blog as well http://www.brendaacuncius.typepad.com/ she is always great inspiration for me :)

Here's two pictures using her actions. The first is using her B/W2 and the second is her color boost.

Easter

I can't tell you how often I hear things like "I need to have pictures taken of my child, but she/he hates going into a studio and taking pictures" Yep, that's most kids. So I create a less painful way to take pictures of your kids. I let them run around and have fun, taking pictures at the same time. This way you get photos that show the real personality of your child.
For little Miss M's pictures we set up an Easter egg hunt in her Grandparent's bakyard. She looked so cute!

A little bit of fun!

Today one of my best friends and I thought it would be fun to get a couple of pictures of our kids. It was fun and no one cried (with 3 kids that's a amazing)

I love how lovey my kids are with eachother. People ask me all the time "are they really that kind to eachother?" Well, that's a tricky question...the easy answer is yes. They do love to hug alot. Of course they have their moments all day long of making eachother mad :)

I love this picture. I think it's my fave from the day. I love baby lashes!
