"It Never Seems Enough For You..."


I was lucky enough to get this shot in the church parking lot while we were leaving the conference on Saturday. Not the best, but I didn't have time to get a better one. Almost no touch up to this picture. Just a dab of contrast.

There Ain't No Time To Waste.





I was able to attend a Young Women's conference this last weekend and got some really fun shots! These are only a tiny portion of what I got, but I didn't want to upload everything! There's some basic exposure editing on these, but other than that and an added border... nothin' fancy. The top picture is my absolute favorite!

Don't Ask Me, I'll Never Tell.




I did a little photo shoot yesterday around the farm and I got a few pictures of some of my favorite pals. Basic exposure and contrast editing on these; also, note the new signature. :)

"I Get A Little Bit Stronger."

"I know that it'll be okay."

-----------------

So pretty, isn't she?! This was just a misc snap shot I got of Jessica Owens. Light editing, but all very natural. I liked this one! :)

"Although There's Pain In My Chest, I Still Wish You the Best."

"I pity the fool that falls in love with you."

-------------

This picture was actually taken inside our church building and the lighting was completely awful. My ISO was through the roof, so the quality the best. However, for some reason, I kinda liked this shot. I did edit the contrast a bit.

"We All Need Somebody to Lean On."

"I'll be you're friend. I'll help you carry on."

--------------

Okay, I lied. But this actually is the last one because I'm done with those photos. So yeah. Did a little light editing here because this was taken in a shadow. Just them basics...

"You Don't Know..."

"That's what makes you beautiful."

----------------

Okay, last one! I promise! Maybe. Unless I happen upon another one that I really like too. I messed around with editing her eyes and eye lashes a bit, just to get a feel for it. I like how it turned out! Not so hard. :)

"Yes, You Can Hold My Hand If You Want To."

"And I wanna hold yours too."

-----------------

Aw, how sweet is that? This is another from the shoot I did with Kayleena. I didn't get around to editing some of the session until today and I really liked this one. I think the bear was a nice touch and it's color matches almost perfectly with her hair! Basic editing touch up here.

"I'll Make It Better."

"Life's not always simple."

----------------

So, I really, really like this picture, though the subject is only kind of so-so. I used natural light coming in from the window and I just love how it illuminated the bird's feathers. I did brighten her eye ever so slightly, but that was about it!

"Something's Gotta Give Now."

"It's gotta be you."

----------------

Last one I'll share from the little session with Kayleena! This one is very Easter-ish and adorable, so I couldn't help but post. The sun made shooting in this direction very pleasant, so the only editing really needed was the usual smoothing and such.

"This is Not About You Anymore."

"I'll find the words to say."

------------

This is probably my favorite from our shoot! She's so cute! I edited the saturation on this one as well and did the basic eye/face editing. I also tried out the cloning tool (which I suck at, by the way) and am not totally happy with the result. I used it on the snow, by her feet. Yeah, now you can see it.

"Who Do You Think I Am?"

"I wouldn't bet your heart on it."

----------------

This is another one from the photo shoot with Kayleena. I'm not completely happy with this and I'm not sure why. Maybe it's too bright? Too orange? Shadows are all wrong? I can't pin it down. I did a little eye lash editing here and softened the skin. Just the usual stuff.

"Now That I've Finally Moved On..."

"You only want be 'cause I'm taken."

-----------------

Yay! Another photo shoot! My little sister is blossoming into a model. So, the sun has finally hit the yard, giving me a great natural light source. I did a touch of saturation editing; the original was just a little too orange for my taste. I also did some airbrush and eye brightening, just the basics.
