Favorites

I know. I haven't blogged in forever. I have found that there are a lot of other things more important to me at this time in my life. But, I really have been missing it. So, here are some of my favorite pictures that I have taken in the last several months. I hope you all enjoy them!

Jennie

My beautiful sister-in-law, Jennie, agreed to let me take some pictures of her a few days ago. I have been dying to have more subjects for my photography since my boys are SO tired of me taking pictures of them. :) I had so much fun taking and editing these pictures. Thanks Jennie!

Another Before and After

I used the "Perfect Portrait 2" and "BackDrop Fix" actions from thecoffeeshopblog.com on this picture. I love the results!

First Try with Actions

One of my photographer friends told me about thecoffeeshopblog.com a few weeks ago. Tonight I finally (with lots of help from my husband) got around to actually figuring out how to save and use a Photoshop action. I got the Perfect Portrait 2 action, and that is what I used on all of these. I am posting the before and after pictures.

I know that these aren't perfect at all, but for it being my first time (and now 2 in the morning) I am pretty happy with this action. Any advice? How bad are they? Are there any major mistakes I am making?
