My favorite photo from one of my favorite enagement sessions

365 photo blog failure

I've realized that keeping up with a 365 blog is entirely too difficult when photography is not your only job. I will try this again when I do this full time! For the time being, I will try to upload at least one picture a week. This is a little more manageable in the little time I have left for this sort of thing!

365 photo day 4 & 5

I had trouble with this blog last night, so I've loaded last night's picture and today's as well. Hope you like them!

This photo is a little brighter than I normally like, but for some reason it just works in this photo of Maygan.

I don't know if you can see it from this small photo... but if you look very closely, there is a tiny green catapillar in the clover flower. I didn't see him until after I took the first shot.

365 Photo blog Day 2

For today's photo, I give you the all new thank you card. I'm going to start including these in my wedding packages. Of course this will only work for those who do both engagement and wedding pictures... here is my favorite design example. I even used their wedding colors on the right.

365 Photo blog Day 1

so last night, I tried to post this entirely to late and had some publishing issues. So, I'm reposting. Day 1 and I already messed it up. But I'll post twice. Here is what yesterday's post should have looked like:

For the first post, I wanted to start with something dear to my heart. Why not start with a photo of my niece?

This Photo was taken in Myrtle Beach South Carolina- my home away from home. Using Adobe Lightroom, I removed swimmers in the background, gave the photo a color boost and added a vignette. As for the pose, I simply gave my niece some baloons and let her run with it!

Even more editing fun

Thanks Rita!

Allow me to start this blog by saying I love Rita's CoffeeShop Actions! Rita is simply amazing! If you love photoshop and lightroom as much as I do, you should go visit her site and send her a donation (http://coffeeteaphotography.blogspot.com). I downloaded several of her actions this weekend and simply had a ball playing around. I've still got to tweak some of these a little more, but I wanted to give you a first glance at some new editing techniques I will be incorporating.

Okay, on to the fun stuff. Check out the photos below and tell me what you think!
