Variation Edition:
I love taking photos and then playing with them in Photoshop to see what fun looks I can come up with. Sometimes they work and other times, not so much. A little editing can go a long way. Here is a photo of my daughter Shenzie straight out of the camera:
A little boost to color, contrast, some sharpening, a few eye edits and you get this:
Add a little Vintage Action and you get this:
Use the Gradient Tool to convert to black and white and now we have this:
As usual I’m biased since she is my daughter, but my oh my, isn’t she beautiful!!

The babies and I visited The Discovery Park at Aliante yesterday. They loved feeding and chasing after the ducks. Here are a couple of photos from our fun day using some new textures.

Still practicing with Actions. All of the following photos have Vintage or Urban Processing Action added, or a combination of them both. I’m really liking the results…what do you think?

I have been using Adobe Photoshop for years, but have barely scratched the surface of what it can do. I have a lonnnnnnnnnnnnng way to go and there will always be something to learn. I have been experimenting with Actions, Black and White Conversions, and Color. Here are a few examples of my newest experiments.
The top photo is the original with some minor retouching. Bump to Contrast and bump up in Curves The second photo has a Boost Action on it courtesy of The Pioneer Woman.

While I was in San Diego last month I coerced beautiful, little Ayla to model for me. She was more than happy to pose for the camera. She has TONS of personality and it shows in every single picture. I added some fun filters on these two…the originals can be found here.
