Photoshop Love

I recently had my first paying photography job. I offered to pay them for taking a chance on me but instead they did pay me. These two adorable boys of our friends are individuals. That means they aren't photographed together. One spent most of the time up a tree and the other burying his trains in the dirt. When we finally did get them together they wouldn't pose or even look at me! Out of 202 pictures (thank goodness for digital!) I came out with about 25 that I thought were worthy of printing.

Here are a few of my favorites. I am a long way from where I would like to be photographically speaking but I had fun.











Thanks Luke and Noah for keeping me on my toes and making my first paying gig so much fun!

Last night while trying to get over a three day headache I spent some quality time with Photoshop. Here are a few of my creations.

I added a texture to make this one more fun.



This texture....I'm not liking as much. But that's what my Photoshop love is all about, experimentation.

This is our neighbors Christmas gift. They have an amazing amount of beautiful flowers all summer long. I snuck over one morning and took some pictures not knowing what I wanted to do with them. Then I found these free templates and wow!



After that one turned out so well I had to do this.



So the love continues to grow. Hopefully I can find some more suckers, I mean people, who are willing to let me take their pictures. It would certainly help me justify all the time I spend on Photoshop!

Anyone?
