Noah

A couple of Sunday's ago I met up with my friend Jodi and her son, Noah downtown by some old train tracks. Noah was a blast, like all the kids I've photographed so far, and had no problem running around getting into things and making for great pictures.

I love this one and the fact that he is all dirty like a little boy should be. Yes, that is a large, rusty nail by the tracks. Safe? No, but a nice prop for photos with mom standing right near by.

Judging by some of these pictures of Noah looking very serious, you might think that is how he is all of the time which is so not the case. He just is in that stage of toddler-hood where he prefers not to smile when prompted. He can see right through me. :)

See, here is a smile! But I had to catch it fast!

Jodi, I hope you love all of your photos and I'm hopefuly that you can convince the Mr. that you all need some family photos!

Sneak Peak: Noah

Am I biased or do I not photograph THE CUTEST children? I spent some time with Noah and his mom on Sunday morning and got lots of good stuff. More to come later!

Baby boy Chase

I seriously love this kid, he is so much fun. He is a great baby and was a blast to photograph. He was an excellent subject and didn't throw a fit the whole time, except at the end when he fell and bumped his head. But that wasn't his fault, so it doesn't count.

Doesn't it almost look like he is reaching out for the light here?

I am totally in love with this picture, the expression on his face is priceless. He is just content and hanging out waiting for this lady to stop snapping his picture.


Heather and Joe, anytime you need another round of photos I'm there. Chase is so adorable and so easy. Hope you enjoy these!

Fix-it Friday

Yes, I'm still alive I promise. To prove it I wanted to participate in iHeartFaces Fix-It Friday, which I haven't done in a few weeks. Here is the original.

And my edit.

So here is what I did, which really wasn't a whole lot:

Using Gimp:

-used the healing brush to erase the bags under his eyes

-used the lasso tool and color balance to eliminate the green and yellow shading around his eyes

-used the unsharp mask on eyes at 52

Using Lighroom:

-I used a preset called PH Surreal Moment (found in this set)

Fix-it Friday

I skipped out on last Friday's iHeartFaces fix, I don't remember why... This week was pretty easy since this was already a pretty good picture. Here is "Pretty in Pink."

Here it is with my edits:
