Have a little...

A few weeks ago, I "liked" an AMAZING page on Facebook, called FStop Frenzy... and I am so excited for this weeks photography challenge... the ladies over @ FStop asked for entries related to hope.  And the winner this week is the recipient of one on one mentoring with Morgan Kervin! Ah-mazing.  If I win, it couldn't come at a better time.  If you are a fan on Facebook, you know things are currently undergoing changes...  Anyway, I digress... 

Hope... its so important, but as an adult, I feel like sometimes I hope only when I need to... When I look at my baby, dancing in the sun... That inspires hope... The hope that the world will be an okay place for him when he is all grown, hope that some of the innocence of his childhood will stay intact, hope that he will be this happy for his whole life.  That's a lot of hope...

I hope this image makes you smile.

(Oh, and if you are wondering, this was processed with a beautiful freebie from Pure Photoshop Actions... )

Join the community over @ FStop... 

As always, happy clicking!

Such a great image! I processed it with a free action {magical sunset} from the wonderful CoffeeShop Blog.  Mom's idea, she wanted the score board in the shot.  I thought it would be cool to add a score! Congrats class of 2012!

Inspired from a recent pin on Pinterest! Have you heard of Pinterest? If not, hurry over and start being  inspired..!!

This picture is just what I saw it to be... again, I pinned a similar idea on Pinterest, and tweaked it.  Love the result.

LOL!

Have you heard of the lovely-ness of Pinterest? Its a seriously amazing site full of really great ideas.  Its a virtual pin board site, teeming with ideas... I lovvvve it!! I came across this little sign (the words) the other day, that just made me laugh... so I made one up to share with all of you.  Its in a 4x6 format, perfect for a desktop!

Get it? I love it... and yea, I may be easily amused... 

Anyway, I would love to stay and chat... but... (you guessed it...)

got tattoo?

I know this really awesome girl, who happens to be an amazing artist, who also happens to be a bad ass tattooist! Her name is Julie, and she is the owner of Another Twilight Fantasy in Riverside, CA.  Julie has tattooed me several times- I can't see myself going anywhere else.  I love her work so much, I had my mom, my little brother and my little sister get tattooed by her! 

I was super stoked when Julie asked me to help her out on a project that she is working on... She is putting together a book of her art.  She sent me her models and I did what I could to represent.  

Julie told me she hates to have her picture taken... I can understand, its not my favorite either.  I think I managed some awesome shots of her- and I hope she approves of them.
