Camille in

"One"der Land Birthday

I put this little beauty together after Camille's first birthday party. Almost all the elements were photographed at the party, with the exception of a few elements. Her family did such a great job putting this party together for her. And I had fun mashing it all up into one picture.

Deer Child

Deer Child

She loves all animals. More than she loves animals, she loves feeding them. So when I got a shot of her sitting like this, it was only right I turn it into something like this.

I took just over 100 pictures of her. Following her around while she played. She loves when I take pictures of her. If I put the camera down she says hey mom, take a picture.

When I took this one, she was sitting in the trampoline pushing a pine needle through the safety net. As soon as I saw it in all the images I loaded, I knew she had to be feeding some animal.

Here is the before.

What are you looking at?

I used 3 images to make this composite. I took the shot of the baby turtle sometime last summer. The acorn cap Holly is sitting in I took last fall. And the image of Holly, just a few weeks ago.

I still feel like this one isn't finished. So don't be surprised if you see this one again only a little different. I asked my daughter Marlee if she had any ideas. She said put a hat on it. LOL that is her answer to everything!

This is an older picture of Holly at the park in the spring. There was no snow that day. The reindeer I bought at Photographers Unleashed. A great resource for overlays and other fun things to add to a composite.

Gator fishing edit

Crap I like this one better!!

Do you ever get so excited to share something that you post right away, then later wish you would have waited a bit because you thought of something better to share just moments after? No? Ok it's just me then.

I posted the gator fishing picture the other day with the layered file still open in photoshop. When I opened photoshop later the pictures was still there and I thought hmmm what if I...

So I changed it a bit. Then waited a few days to post in case it happened again. And all is good. This is the final edit. For real.

Would you like to be in a picture like this? Stay tuned I will be posting details on these types of sessions. And I'm thinking maybe a contest you could win a shoot, or a print, or something else. Let me know what you would like to win.

Fairy babies and birth in a bottle

Oh how I love to composite! I could do this kind of work all day everyday. Where the only limit is my imagination. Let me tell you how these images came to be. I am in a couple of composite groups on Facebook. A member in one of those groups posted a link to a site that had a composite contest (www.paintcandy.org). I haven't done a composite in a while and needed to practice. So I worked on this first image for a day, making sure to follow all the rules (it was the last day of the contest) and submitted in time.

The contest ended up not being a contest that week after all, and that's ok. I wasn't in it for any prize or anything. It was fun and I got to practice some Photoshop skills. I learned that there are a few tricks I have forgotten how to do because I haven't used them in a while. This image was last weeks submission. I thought it would be interesting to put a pregnant woman (A.K.A. my best friend and one of my favorite models Shannon) in a bottle, in a storm.JourneyComposite

For the image this week I decided to use my other favorite model. 🙂 My little fairy baby is just a cuteness overload.

Let's get personal

For my own entertainment I have started sketching ideas for some things I wanted to shoot. I have done a few of them. And I am really surprised at how close my final images are to my original sketches. It's so much fun. I just have to share. Can you tell me what this image says to you? If you can read in this image what I am trying to express I might get brave enough to show you my stick figure sketch. LOL that would be for your entertainment, they are awful! I will also share more sketch and final product posts.
