    Fix-It Friday #57

    Original I did 5 or 6 edits of this photo, but I wanted to post something “out of the box.” So here you have it! This is a texture layer added to make it look like a strip of film. Not my favorite, but something different.

    {I ♥ Faces} Week 17 – Smiles

    This is my oldest niece, Arial. She’s peeking through the bars on the playground. She’s one of the few kids I’ve reminded to smile who didn’t give me that crazy, fake smile. I think her smile is precious, but maybe I’m just a bit bias. 🙂 Be sure to check out I ♥ Faces to see all the other beautiful faces that have been entered into the contest!

    {I ♥ Faces} Week 29 – On The Beach

    I love taking pics at the beach, so I have tons of beach pics. I really had a hard time deciding. This pic is from Alex’s first trip to the beach. This was off the Georgia coast on Cumberland Island. Even more interesting…this was taken with a point and shoot camera!

    {I ♥ Faces} Week 25 – Wedding Bells

    The wedding pic I chose is from my wedding, which was way back when and hence, taken with film. The scanned pics aren’t that great, but this is one that people love including me. I never planned to put cake in his face, but it’s just one of those things. As you can see, he got me back pretty good!

    {I ♥ Faces} Week 24 – Let’s Hear It For The Boys! {Kids}

    This weeks posting is called “Let’s Hear It For The Boys!” in honor of Father’s Day, since I have 2 sons this was quite difficult to choose. I ended up going with this cute one of my older son back when he was in Kindergarten. This was after “fun night” at school with his best friend. Their faces are painted orange and blue, because we live in the city of the greatest university on Earth. 🙂 Be sure to check out I ♥ Faces to see all the other beautiful faces that have been entered into the contest!

    Fix-It Friday: #16 Sweet Grin

    Original – “Sweet Grin” Here’s my “fixed” version. Using CS4, I played with curves to help with the lighting issue. Then I unmasked the eyes and used the dodge tool to bring out the color. I then used an action called Glam Bur v.1 to help soften the picture. I cloned out some of the little red marks on his face.

    My Story In Photos: The Patriotic Edition

    Looking back through July pictures, I started thinking of the traditions that we’ve had. Back when Rob was in school, the weekend connected to 4th of July was really our only opportunity to go to Texas to visit my family. So we did that for several years, even after he graduated. This first picture is of Drew when he and I flew to Texas without Rob, because we were going for an extended stay. 2001 Here he is with my cousins at the lake. 2001 This is from 2002 when we went to Texas and spent a day at the…
