Saying Goodbye

On saturday we had a farewell picknic for a family at our church. We love them so so so SO much and will miss them!! But i have no doubt that they will be a HUGE blessing wherever they may go. God bless!!

Two Peas in a Pod

They are so cute together. And i really love this one! One of my better ones if i do say so myself!

Oh Joy

Isnt she a doll. I love this girl!

Some Favorites

I love these people!! So cute!

Photoshop Phriday (3)

This is one of my favorite photoshopped photos! It was taken at the Capital for our Prom last year (technically "Jr." prom, but our school only has one, so everyone goes). I cant remember who posted it (could have been me but i cant remember!) but I love this picture. 'J-K-L-M-N' all look so pretty!!!

This is the ORIGINAL photograph completely untouched

To get this photograph to look like this, i converted it to B&W, hightened contrast tones, gaussian blur, eraser tool 87% opacity.

I love how beautiful it turned out :). Love these girls!

See you next "Phriday!"

Ashley Photoshoot Part Three

This is the LAST of the posts for Ashley's photoshoot. By this time the light was leaving us a little too much for the place that we wanted to be in, and quite frankly i think we were both getting a little tired (we were there for 2 1/2 hours). I loved it though! SO fun!!! This is her last change of clothes, and the last of the photos i will be posting of her session. Thanks again Ashley!!

Ashley Photoshoot Part Two

We had a HARD time picking just 6 for this (so we did seven haha). Most of the ones we took in the "yellow" ensamble we had finally got in sync with what we were wanting and it was perfect lighting we had the most fun with these ones!

Ashley Photoshoot Part One

So today my friend was willing to be my "muse" for a photoshoot. We decided to go to Westminster College. BEAUTIFUL campus and BEAUTIFUL friend. Who could ask for something more?! Not me. Well we ended up taking about 200 photos. And we like about 190 of them :). So i will do three posts (she wore three different outfits). This is the first post of three!

Photoshop Phriday (2)

For this "phriday photoshop" i picked one of my all time photos. Period. I actually took this one, and its so cute to me. This is a picture of my sister (well... shes not my blood sister but she might as well be!) and her boyfriend Matt at Sweethearts dance. I think the final edited one is so adorable.

This is the original photo

And this is the final masterpiece! To get it to be like this I simply Hightened Contrast, hightened Hue, Duplicated layer, turned black and white, plus two reds, plus one green, minus two blues, magnetic lasso tool, Gaussian Blur, Eraser tool with 87% opacity. Simple as that :)

Photoshop Phriday- Morgan and Kalie

From now on fellow bloggers I will be posting 'Photoshop-Fridays' where i will take someones photo (with permission of course) that they have taken and photoshop it and show you the final result! I love photoshop and it really is amazing what it can do to a photo. So for the first one I took my friend Kalie's photo that she took at our senior dinner dance. I love this picture and when i saw it i knew BAM i want to photoshopt that and make the colors more vibrant- make those baby blues stand out, and the backround blurry. And i think it turned out not too shabby. Although it didnt hurt that both these girls are absolutely gorgeous :)

BEFORE

AFTER :)

To make this masterpiece what it is-- Heightened contrast, hightened Saturation, Gaussian blur, duplicated layer- then erase tool of about 65-70% opacity on face to make backround blurry and five a 'glow' to the faces. I hope you enjoyed photoshop phriday!!!!
