HAYDEN

My zaney, quirky, crazy, hilarious, loveable, cute middle child.
Sunday afternoon he was antagonizing his brother and sister (as usual). After continuously asking him to behave and to "knock it off" and "that's enough"He did not. I turned around and said, "why can't you be good like a normal child?" He looked at me all serious and said "because I don't have a normal mother". <3

i heart faces: Dramatic B&W

I had all these different ideas in my head and this past week was going to test those ideas on my very willing model, my daughter. Instead life got busy and I didn't get a chance to get outdoors to play and so I have chosen a photo that was taken just a few weeks ago of my girl. I wanted a photo that was not just a black and white photo but instead had a "dramatic" look to it. Although everyones interpretations are different, I think this photo is a great capture of black and white dramatic photography. :)
Thanks for looking.

My Girl

How beautiful is this child? :)
She had been bugging me for bangs and layers for weeks now. The layers I was ok with but the bangs had me a little scared. Her and I have the exact same hair. Thin and fine. And bangs just don't work well unless you curl, straighten or put product in them. Every day. Well she whined at me all day to take her in to get it done and I finally agreed. So after we all went swimming at the Y, she and I went. And I rather like the bangs!

i heart faces: Fix it Friday

Before:



My regular fix it:
Edited in PS first using curves and levels to brighten.
USM to sharpen overall photo. Then sharpened eyes again. Dodged/Burned eyes.
Erased a bit of the skin for more smoothness.
Adjusted hue/saturation to add brighter color.
Levels again.
Cloned out snow on hat.

I think that's about it.




My color pop fix it:

More hue/saturation and levels.


My B&W fix it:
