Sample of enhancement options

Photoshop has provided digital photographers a "digital darkroom" in which options for editing are endless. Here are a few of my favorite enhancements:

Classic Color

Traditional Black and White

Vanilla: a cross between black and white and sepia

Split: Golden tones produce a warm image

Vintage: Light, pastel colors

Each of these enhancements give the same picture a different look and feel. Everyone has their favorite-which is yours?

Goin' to the Chapel

Marisa and Ryan are married!

Marisa didn't wear a traditional white dress or veil and I love that! Her dress was beautiful and as she put it, "her." The flowers were lovely-check out the beautiful colors! They remind me of a summer sunset with the bright orange, yellow and red!


Here's a little sneak preview of the pictures. Stay tuned for more...there were mariachis at the after-party!

These little boys spotted brownies and were just dying to try them!

Here's a blooper I couldn't resist posting! The expressions are awesome!

Camera Ready!

This little guy was SO ready to get his picture taken! He was so sweet and accomodated all of my requests for this shoot. We worked together for almost 2 hours and he happily bounced along the park wherever his mom and I took him! There are so many amazing images I just randomly chose these to share. Thanks for being such a good sport, D!

Wedding Sneak Peek

We were relieved to see the sun and beautiful blue skies on June 20 for Lacy and Aaron's wedding after days of storms and gray skies. The sun didn't hold back on providing plenty of heat for the wedding, but we did our best to escape to the shade as much as possible. Congratulations, Lacy and Aaron! Hope you're enjoying Hawaii!

Heritage Park in Munster

These expressions are priceless! Compliments of a sneak attack!

Sweet Mommy and Sons moment

Love the shoes!

Many more to come soon :)

Garwood Orchard and Farm in LaPorte, IN

This Sunday we took a trip to LaPorte to visit one of our new favorite places...Garwood Farms. We first visited last year for apple picking and fell in love. Family owned businesses are awesome and this one is no different. Their staff is wonderful, grounds beautiful and prices very affordable. Most importantly, their produce is delicious! Don't forget to try their yummy gelato and sassparrilla!

Strawberry patch pose

Now that's a boy who loves strawberries!

Take a trip to Garwood Orchard for some quality family time and fun!

Beautiful weeds

Sometimes the most beautiful images are created when you least expect it. To some this field of dandelions is a nuisance-merely a lot of weeds. To me it held endless possibilities for dynamic, amazing pictures. Shelby was a great sport and model for this photoshoot. I look forward to shooting in more weed patches soon! :)

Love the glow the sun provided on this one!

Priceless expression!

Studio Session

Two posts in one day! I'm on a roll :) These 2 little ones celebrate their 4th and 2nd birthdays in May and June. They were a joy to shoot as always! Here are just a few of my favorites! I have some beautiful captures of them outside at Shelby's 4th birthday party I'll post soon!

Park Pictures

After having to reschedule a few times due to the weather, I finally got to play in the park with the Q kids! It was a comfortable and overcast day and we enjoyed running all over the park!
