Frameable

Here is a design I came up with today. I really love it. If you wanted one, it would go under "partial custom design". I can change the pinks and whites and the blue frame, but not the colors of the stars. I can also change the font or the text, or take away the swirly frame (for a boy).

Shabby Apple Party Invitation, 4x6

If you couldn't tell, the personal info has been changed...just a blog privacy thing I guess. :o)

This was a fun invitation to do. Very different than anything I've done before! And I get to trade services for it instead of getting paid the old fashioned way. And Kara is a massage therapist. Very nice. :o) Now I get to have a full body massage. I have to say I like trading services...

FYI: I changed the address and email address to protect these cuties.

More Great Edits

I have to get more practice in with the large families...it's hard to position them. This is my favorite position from the shoot, but the baby was still sleeping at this point... :o) Plus, they put me in the fire (for my first big family shoot) by bringing the dog! It was tons of fun using my new lens for the first time, and they were all good to be around.

I just love that I figured out this color and edge edit. It is similar to one I saw on Dave and Auburn's blog (their family pictures), and I'm thrilled to have learned how to do it!

Little Miss Photogenic - Mary Jo

This is my friend's daughter. She is adorable. I loved taking pictures of her! Editing them was super fun, too! :o) I am discovering new tools and a whole new art in Photoshop lately.

LOVIN' IT!
