It's like chocolate...

This blog is for those people who are interested in photography and editing. This may be terribly boring for some, but for people like me.. this is like chocolate.

I was looking through sets of presets to buy, and was a click away from buying them when my husband showed me free ones I can download. That's my husband for ya. And I know he'd say the same thing about me... spending money when I can.

So anyway, you can find these presets and more for your lightroom at www.lightroomlibrary.com. This is just one of many many sites. Have fun exploring!!

Happy 1st Birthday, Hayden!

Meet the cutest little family on the planet. Michele, a friend of a friend, and now my new friend, wrote me wanting to do a Birthday shoot for her son, who just turned 1 year old. She said the word "cake" and I was immdediately excited. No, not because I was going to eat it, but because I pictured in my head Hayden smashing into a cake in the park, on a picnic blanket. It turned out SO CUTE!! And we had so much fun! After every sugar filled bite, he'd say "mmmmmmm". And no, it never got old. We laughed every time. It didn't take long until the cake came off completely the board, but who cares! The messier the better. :)

Here are some of my favorite pics from the day.

You can just see the "mmmmmm" coming from his mouth.

OOPS!

One of my favorite shots. I don't know if he's dancing, stretching.. but whatever he's doing, it's precious.. especially with that cake on the toosh.

Juice box!

What kid likes to be wiped with a wet towel?

So sweet!

To keep Hayden smiling, they brought a bubble machine.

Beautiful Michele

This picture cracks me up!! Look at it and tell me you're not smiling from ear to ear. Running down hill with a stick makes Hayden a happy boy.

Trisha + Chauncey E-Shoot

She's a Minnesota girl. He's a Florida boy. They met seven years ago at college and have been together ever since. And you can tell! They have this amazing chemistry. A perfect match. Look at how they gaze into each others eyes! So so so sweet!! I'm just in love with the way they love each other.
Chauncey was so funny when it came to pictures. When we first started, I told them to stand in a certain place, Trisha went to the spot and Chauncey stood behind. "Oh, do you want me in the picture?" Haha, engagement pictures usually include two people. As much as he didn't want to take pictures, I know he wouldn't have done it with anybody else other than Trisha. They totally had fun with it!
Awesome, sweet couple! Trisha and Chauncey, yall rock!!
