About Me

My photo
Welcome to my blog. Here you can follow my past professional sessions as well as my personal photography. I have camera and do travel as long as we can find some natural light at our destination. I typically do not take paid jobs as of 2015, but love to practice new ideas on cute child models or four-legged friends!

 original and then my edit...done solely with lightroom 3! I am excited!

Fix it Friday #66



I am a little late this week...this whole work thing is getting in the way of my photography! LOL

Here is the original:



and then my take on the post processing...



Used a texture from Brenda Acuncius after I added fill light and a little saturation to the green.  I extended the canvas and added a little burn on the edges.

I heart Fix it Fridays!

My take on Creative Sunday's "raw"...

Raw: adj 1.Not cooked 2. Changed little from the original form; not processed 3. Having the surface abraded or irritated 4. Not trained or experienced 5. Vulgar; coarse 6. Disagreeably cold and damp 7. Unfair


Raw is the one-word prompt over at

for Creative Sunday!

Here is the original that we get to edit! So cute!


And here is my take on it. I lightened up the shadows in lightroom and did a few spot removals on his face and lint from his sweatshirt. (I am a little OCD) I added a tad fill light and bumped up blue and purple saturation for his sweatshirt and eyes!

Then I opened it in photoshop to warm it up a bit, then did a few surface blurs for the grain and then sharpened and cropped.



Please feel free to leave comments! I love comments!

Winston does not like the camera today...

Or was it the raincoat I was making him wear? It is a tad small...
I think we will give a hand-me-down to his friend Pearl!





the itaaaalian peeeople...

My father-in-law is another one of the million things
I gained the day I married my husband!

When he cooks Italian food in his kitchen, or in a kitchen at a cabin, or wherever, he turns into THE ITALIAN PEOPLE!

I typed the title out attempting to show the Italian accent that he speaks with throughout the WHOLE preparation and cooking process. The Italian people normally leave as soon as the food is ready, and we get Boyd back!

So...as you can expect, we have athe Itaaaaaliana peeeeople over to our house now when we cook Itaaaaaliana fooda! LOL


They were here tonight!
