I Heart Faces {Hilarious Outtakes}

This week's challenge at I Heart Faces, we could enter up to 5 photos.

The top photo here was from a recent photo session. I swear this couple has TOO much fun! I have more pictures of them being nuts and bursting out laughing, for barely any reason at all, than any other session ever! :D I could've actually put up 5 photos of just them! I had a BLAST with them! :D

Spit-up horror!!!

This photo was from a session I did last Fall. She warned Daddy she would shower him if he threw her up in the air one more time! The faces on Mom and Dad CRACK me up! :D

I had to throw this one in the mix! It isn't every day you go to the zoo and get a monkey staring at you and banging on the glass and then just plop right down and start a picking away for ya! I thought we were all gonna wet our pants laughing! :D

These two pictures are more older ones of my twin boys, I just grabbed outa cuteness and they make me smile! :D My son Conner at about 8 months old, with his adorable pout that I try not to laugh at and encourage. Then pour lil' Caiden at around 3 months, looking like an adorable (lol) chipmunk! :D

Fix It Friday @ {I Heart Faces}

It is Fix It Friday again at I Heart Faces and I ADORE this picture! Me L-O-V-E sweet lil' darlin's like this princess!!! The gal that took this photo said she wanted her daughter to be able to pop out in this picture without losing the beauty of the sky behind her. So my interpretation of that looks something like as follows!

THE ORIGINAL

MY EDIT

Let's see here...

I started off with some major noise reduction, sharpening etc... to give the picture a smooth, sharper and not so darn of a blurry look! Then lightening began. Lots of brightness and contrast, curves and exposure tweaks. Selection and re-selection! I also played around with the vibrancy and saturation to get a better look color wise, for the overall image!

{Hands} a year later...

To go with the previous post I had to put this picture up! I guess I could've used it in the challenge as well! :)

One year later Daddy still has his hands full! Actually I would say probably more now that a year ago! Such a good daddy he is and the boys...well they are boys! :D Wonderful, fun, hyper, adventurous, sweet, toddler boys who like to climb on EVERYTHING, taste EVERYTHING discover EVERYTHING and of course get into E-V-E-R-Y-T-H-I-N-G! *smiles*

I Heart Faces {Hands}

So we have a week challenge that is all about hands and I didn't really have too many that I liked enough, that I thought emphasised the hands enough, that I wanted to use. I didn't have time to take the one I REALLY had creatively burning in my head to take for this week so I dug through and pulled a picture out that means so much to me. :)

I took this picture of my hubby with first babies...our newly born twin boys a couple weeks after their birth. Brings back a flood of memories, emotions and amazement at the miracle of them coming into our lives! One of the greatest shocks and the greatest moment of our life when we found out we weren't just have one baby but two!

I'm so in love with my three men! :D I can't believe that my lil' boys are 14 months now, already! I can't even remember when they were this tiny! lol

It's 'Fix It Friday' @ I Heart Faces!

This is the first time I have tried editing someone else's picture and although I would have LOVED to work on it in RAW my computer chosen this week to act up so I stuck with the JPG picture instead.

I started by tweaking the sharpness and overall lighting of the picture as well as cropped it down. I quick selected just her face and made it pop out more. I ran an action I have that I adore and use all the time that added some freshness and colorful factors. I then toned done the vibrancy and saturated the picture to give it a rustical soft and faded look! :) A little tweak here and there on top of all this and...

TA DA!

MY EDIT

I like this challenge and will have to remember to carve out more time for it in the weeks to come so I spend more time editing and playing and tweakin' and experimenting!

Whatcha think?

Congratulations to you both and many blessings as you begin your life together as a couple! You two are so perfect for each other! I can't wait to see what all God does through ya as husband an wife! :D

I had such a wonderful time getting to photograph this couple's wedding in Florida! A BLAST! :) I am SO ready to get on another wedding now that I have had the thrill of doing my first one completely on my own. Now that I have that under my belt I am hoping that the bridal clientele pace will slowly start picking up a bit faster for me! Reba was an amazing bride to please. She had a VERY short must take list which is perfect for your first wedding! It made me be able to not stress out as much and have more fun running around getting experience and "playing" with things without fear of "if it doesn't turn out..."!
