First Communion Storyboard {St Charles Family Photographer}

I cannot BELIEVE I am just now putting this together. But…I am :). Anyway- I love the way it turned out. I am having it printed 10x10 and matted to 14x14. Pretty girl.

 

Sometimes it’s Just Too Easy! {St Charles Children’s Photographer}

I mean seriously. Look at this handsome devil. I barely had to touch these pics. This is one photogenic little man :)

Still testing Windows Livewriter

This is still a test. Yep. I love it. I just found a new way to blog! Thank you I Heart Faces! And thank you to my friend Cass. If you are reading this. The top pic I saved for web and check marked sRGB…the bottom I did not. Wow! What a difference. Thank you.

Test

Testing windows live writer. Um. I think I might love it. Maybe. I’m not sure yet. Check with me tomorrow.

Just Playin' {St Charles Children's Photographer}

Playing around with artificial light (mixed with very little ambient light) and back drops. Not super sure how I feel. Firstly- I definitely need some practice. Mostly- I think I just have a love of shooting in natural light that cannot be competed with :). But...there is definitely a time and a place for the "studio" set up too! So- it will be a great thing to know and to have available. So...I will!

Fix It Friday at I Heart Faces! {St Louis Family Photographer}

SO happy that "Fix it Friday" is back at I Heart Faces, cuz I Heart FIF!!! If you haven't already...check it out right here! And join in the fun with your own fix too.
Todays fix was pretty easy - although my fix is a tad more yellow than I would like...I don't have any more time to play right now. I fixed it in CS5. Did some color correcting using curves, sharpened and brightened up the background just a tad, and put a little more light on her face. I also cropped just a bit to put her in a better position visually.

Lucky Lucky Me! {St Louis Children's Photographer}

I don't know how I am SO lucky. It seems like I get all of the cutest kids in town in front of my lens! The A family...wow! Look at them. All 4 of them have these AMAZING eyes and dark gorgeous skin. They were all so sweet and fun and well behaved. The twins weren't too interested in sitting still but who needs to? (and what 22 month old is? Especially when you have a partner in crime, lol!).
Thank you so much for allowing me the pleasure of photographing your sweet family! I cannot wait for Holiday photos!
