Mini session with a super cute Boo...

So that's her nickname, Boo.  Maybe it was from the movie Monsters, Inc.? Hmm, should have asked.  It would be kind of funny if it were, because as soon as I saw this little cutie, I remembered my own little girl at her age- and when that movie came out, I thought she reminded me of the little girl, Boo, in the movie. 

Little Ms. C's birthday is this Tuesday, and this cloth diapered cutie was already on the move.  Here are a few of my favorites of our session.

Have you heard about Addison Park Photography?

I know, isn't it weird to be on my blog, and read about me blogging about another photographer? Yea, but this chick rocks!! I know Anne-Michelle of Addison Park Photography personally, and we've been really great friends for going on five years.  I am super excited for where her work is going, and would love for you to check her out.  I know, she's local, and "competition", but I am a firm believer in variety being the spice of life. 

I am super excited to announce us working together on the Halloween Mini Sessions that coming up... Anne-Michelle has a great little indoor studio set up in her garage, and the best thing, its almost all natural light! Can't wait to see all the little boo's and ghouls in their Halloween costumes!

Have a fab Friday, all!

This is a test

It can't be this easy.

I will get these fonts right...

If its the last thing I do!!

Do you love texture in a photo?

As I continue on my journey in the wonderful world of Photoshop, I am contstantly amazed at the process and the outcome of adding texture in a picture.  In my opinion, not every picture needs texture- and in fact, sometimes texture takes away from a picture.... This is just my opinion, but maybe you feel the same way?

I recently did an urban themed photoshoot with an amazing family with six kids.  I used texture in a lot of the post processing.

While browsing the net today, I came across this awesome link for textures! There are a ton of freebies out there, but these textures are the kind I really like.  My mind literally goes crazy seeing it all come together in my head! So much fun.

Here are a few of my images with texture...

Do you know how to add texture to a photo? If you have Photoshop, I highly reccomend Coffee Shop's "Give it Texture" action- makes it super easy and easy to achieve the desired results.
