Sweet Baby pictures








A friend of mine had a baby back in April and I offered to take some portraits for free - kind of a good for you, good for me deal.  I got the chance to try taking some newborn portraits and she got free pictures (if she didn't like them, she hadn't paid anything!).  It was tough!  Baby wouldn't sleep for a long time and I struggled with good natural lighting in my house.  But with a few hours invested and several more editing, we got some pretty good shots I think.

One picture, several ways

I drive by this barn on a regular basis and have wanted to stop to take a picture - most of the time I never have my camera.  So last week, I grabbed my camera and went out there with the purpose of taking the picture.  It's not the safest spot to do this, as it's on a fairly busy highway, with a small shoulder!  So here is the initial photo, edited in several ways.  I would love any feedback or constructive criticism. Let me know which one you like the best!

Images from last summer


Just a couple of pictures from a summer drive last year - did a little tweaking in Photoshop.  Love the teeny little cloud sitting just above the canola blooms in the first picture.
