My new favorite photo...

I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this shot of A. I love her eyes and I love the little bit of something(?) on her face. If you can't see it in this little image, click on it to see it bigger.
(This is showing up a little fuzzy and dark on my screen for some reason. Anybody else??)

Take Out Photo Monthly Special- July



I took these for the Take Out Photo monthly special. The challenge was to photograph architectural details. I took quite a few shots, but these two were some of my favorites.

More Photos

This is my new favorite picture of A. This is the shot, un-retouched. It turned out really well without any editing. I love my new camera! It just came on Monday, so these are some of my first shots with it. My only issue with is so far is that it tends to over saturate some of my photos, especially any pinks or reds. I would much rather it be slightly over saturated than under saturated though. Now I can't wait til I can afford a few more lenses!

This is after I played with it a little in Photoshop using actions from Pioneer Woman. She has a set of free actions that, for the most part, I absolutely love. I love them even more because they are FREE!

This is A's cousin. Isn't she pretty? She's always happy and smiling. Although I hate to use a flash because I love natural light, this one is so much better than my last camera. It still leave a little bit of a glare though.

Oh, how I love this girl's eyes! I desaturated everything else just a little bit so that her eyes pop a little bit more. I also love her crazy hair in this picture. It's getting so long and some days she really hates getting it done. Not to mention that I can't stand to put it up when her curls in the are showing. I was hoping she'd have a little more curl, but she only has a little bit in the back.

I love, love, love this one. A was telling me that the light was bright. She always has to say "oooh, bwight!" and cover her eyes whenever we go out in the sun, or a light is particularly bright.
