Photoshop Before & After (and a little trick!)

Posted in Fridays on March 12, 2010

Hi Lovelies,
Many of you told me that you loved how Kristie shared her editing steps. So, today I thought I’d share with you how I turned this:

Into this:

Kelly is totally, 100% scared of the camera. Since she’s a photographer herself this is not okay! If we as photographers are uncomfortable in front of the camera [...]

WPPI left me changed.

Posted in Ramblings on March 11, 2010

That sounds terribly cliche’ doesn’t it? It’s so crazily true though. I went with low expectations and returned home a different person. A different artist, business owner, dreamer, entrepreneur.

It’s quite easy to get overwhelmed by all the insane talent out there, but even in the midst of all of the eye candy only a few times has a photographer’s work stopped me in my tracks. Kristie [...]

I’m New

Posted in Ramblings on March 04, 2010

It’s hard being new to a blog, even if it’s a blog that immediately catches your eye.

Two reasons: 1. Kicking off another workshop. 2. Opening registration for a new one.

Wanna have your state colored in [...]
