My Muse

He’s silly, fun, a great soccer player, wants to do everything extra curricular related (except basketball – gives me a little break –:)).  He’s also a people pleaser.  He loves to make mama happy.

Go Allen Eagles!

 

These girls are not typically fans of photo shoots, and apparently agreed only if they could choose their own clothes.  I was fine with that  – And at the beginning of the shoot – I got some questions – ‘How long will this take?, etc’.   So I let them take control of locations (within where we were), poses, etc.  45 minutes passed – I was done, but I think they still wanted to continue with the shoot!  I actually got an ‘That was fun’ comment, (floored the mom!haha).  I like that we got some fun candid moments with genuine expressions.  That’s so important to show the kid’s personalities.

We really should have our own photos done by another professional more often.  The last time was at my sister’s wedding.  I was happy to ‘finally’ get a family photo with ME in it.  And this is what we got! yikes!

 

Ok – after that – I told Mikey NEVER to smile like that again!

 

L&C had a great time and I think it shows (at least better than mikey’s wedding smile!)

52 Week – Black and White

Well – this week’s theme is ‘black and white’ and certainly I do plenty of that.  But it’s been a while since I posted a Wall art post – and since a lot of my canvasses I have at home are of Black and White images, I figured I would put the two together.

My house is a work in progress.  Slowly changing each room.

I’ve never really bought a piece of art that I have not either painted myself, or took the image and had it printed on Canvas.   However, recently I did purchase something from Pottery Barn.  I have it in my living room – and will point it out below.

 

btw – I get all my canvasses from Canvas On Demand.

 

My Office Wall.  If you are interested in learning more on this one – Please go HERE.

 

A hallway. Lights and frames from Ikea.  I do plan to add more square frames – so there will be nine total to fill up that wall.  Some day…..

That canvas is a 40×60.

 

And the Wood America piece is the first and only piece that I purchased for this house that I did not have a hand in creating.  I got it at Pottery Barn.  To be honest, I was a little underwhelmed once it was up on my wall.  It looks soooo cool HERE.  oh well.  

 

I painted those panels – I did not originally intend for them to be on the mantel, which is why one has a frame and the other doesn’t.   They are 24×60 wood panels I had made a long time ago and about a year ago I finally painted them.

 

Thanks for stopping by.  Now please continue the circle to see Michele’s post.

A Color Processing Tutorial

 

The very nice ladies over at BLOOM asked me to submit a before and after and explain my processing.  It’s part of a weekly thread called ‘Get your Edit on’.  An image is posted, the SOOC image (straight out of the camera) and the after processing result, and an explanation of what that person did.  Whoever wants to participate would also post their edited image and their processing.  It’s a great way to learn new tricks, preview actions, etc.

Well here is mine, and a video of what I did.  (Click on the expand button on the bottom right to see the video bigger)

Thanks!
