My take on a storyboard...

So this is my first attempt at a storyboard. It's coming up blurry on my screen, but it's really not. I wish I had gotten some of their feet, hands, etc for the center pictures, but live and learn right? :) I love these photos though. I used another Jinky action - Color Whisper - to bring out their eyes and their bright pink shirts. I'm going to use them for their first birthday pictures. I love how much energy they have!

Playing with actions...

Photo with Jinky's actions applied (New color 3 then Peach Vintage & Crack)
This was a photo I posted a little bit ago. It was one that I loved, but it just seemed to be missing that pop! This morning I purchased Jinky's 52 Action Set and I love them! I think it really gives this photo some life. Like they are little ballerinas under the hot lights of the stage! This is one of those pictures that the internet doesn't do justice to, so please click on it to view it bigger!

Hello there!

So this was the original - before PP. Thoughts? Comments? CC? :) You can see our dog (who I airbrushed out of the other). I do wish the focus was on his face though. Do you like it better than the one where I bumped up the contrast to get a true silhoutte?

Something different...

Bob the Builder (For Colin)

As I was taking pictures yesterday, Colin asked me to take a picture of Bob the Builder. How could I refuse that sweet little request?
