I heart Faces: Funny, Silly Faces Photo Challenge

I've seen these for a while now on I ♥ Faces and never enter. I thought I'd change that and enter this fab funny silly face :)

It's from my most recent (and first) wedding shoot.
The flower girl was a little camera shy, but, funny faces always fix that :)

i heart faces friday fix it 8.7.09

Here's my Friday fix it for I ♥ Faces :)

stop by and check it out :)


such a sweet looking little boy :)

My first choice was to make it bright and airy... Almost has a yellow wash to it.

My steps:
*Fixed Levels: Image>Adjustments>Levels - moved sliders in on left and right
*Boosted Contrast and Brightness: Image>Adjustments>Brightness/Contrast - adjusted sliders to taste
*Added a Photo Filter: Image>Adjustments>Photo Filter>Yellow
*Brought his eyes out with some color overlays: painted in a lighter color than his eye color and changed the blending mode to "overlay". Then I took his eye "ring" color and traced over it and changed the blending mode to "soft light"

Took colored version and did the following steps:

* Sepia Tone: Image>Adjustments>Black&White>added a Tint in the Orange/Yellow family and brought the saturation down
* Added vignette: Filter>Distort>Lens Correction> moved sliders on Lens vignette

Took Sepia version and did the following steps:

* Adjustments>Desaturate (took all color out)
* boosted contrast a little more: Image>Adjustments>Brightness/Contrast - moved sliders to taste

Hope you enjoyed... :)

Janeane: Just Because

I've been playing around with my blog lately, now you will get bigger and better pictures :)

This is actually my new sister-in-law :) we went downtown (a few weeks ago) to take some pictures for her photography website. It was a rainy humid day, but I think we got some awesome ones for her :) Go check out her site if you like: janeanesphotodesigns.com

Sarah + Cory

I had the honor of shooting Sarah and Cory's wedding this past weekend. It was my first wedding shoot and it was such a BLAST! Mother Nature didn't necessarily cooperate with their plans, but it turned out so beautifully.

Hope you are having fun in VEGAS guys! :)

Sarah's Grandmother gave her a beautiful ring as her something old - it was gorgeous!

By the time they had their first look, the rain stopped and gave us some beautiful sunlight :)

such an expressive couple - ha! :)

a little laughing :)

and this little flower girl was such a treat all night :)

Congratulations Sarah and Cory!!
