Online Photoshop Class

Thought I would share this over here too. Many of you have expressed and interest in taking an online Photoshop class from me, well I am excited to announce that I am now offering online Photoshop classes! Smile

I remember when I first started out on my photography journey, I had no clue what I was doing in Photoshop. I thought if I bought a lot of Photoshop actions all my problems would be solved. Not so much. Don’t get me wrong I still use some actions, but today the majority of my editing is done with steps I have learned through trial and error. You don’t need actions to have great edited images.

My class is a one on one class, we will even edit some of your images together.

Here is a little of what you can expect to learn:

- skin smoothing and tucking, teeth whitening, bringing out the eyes

- how to do a black and white

- head swaps

- how to apply a texture to a photo

- how to change colors

- how to pop colors

- how to sharpen for web and for print

- how to remove distractions from your images

- and so much more!

Cost: $200 

I am offering $25 off for the first 5 people that sign up.

The class is open to anyone!

If your interested or have any questions please email me at: manicmotherphotography@gmail.com

10 months| Baby and the Beach

Ten months. Well, almost eleven since I am just now getting around to posting these pics. Judah is becoming more of his own person every day. He already has quite the sense of humor. He finds himself the funniest.

He is crawling, pulling up, and cruising. He says da-da and ball. His favorite thing to do is spend time with his brothers. I think its so neat that he already prefers their company to his parents. I guess he just wants to be one of the boys.

I love these pictures. I have had it in my head for awhile now that I wanted to take Judah to the beach for a photo shoot .  I envisioned him sitting in his little sailor outfit, holding his  balloon. Only problem was I didn’t factor in that Judah may not want to sit, or that the wind would blow his balloon all over the place. Balloon or not, I love these images. I am so glad I did this, and I know will cherish these images for many years to come.

You can find me here as well.

Update.

Gosh I really stink at blogging lately. If you are on Facebook as often as me, I am much better at updating over there…its much more simple. You can find my page here.

balloo Wow time flies when you have three kids. Here is a very random/scatterbrained update.

Judah turned 9 months, in fact he will be 10 months in a few days. I am sad that he will be one soon. I have been doing my best to soak up every little precious baby thing, and taking as many pictures as I can.

balloonswebEzra turned four. Every birthday we have with him I am ever so grateful. His birthday also marks two years since his leukemia diagnosis. What a long road that has been. He only has about a year left of treatment.  

And I leave you with some random pictures of the boys that I have taken lately.

Shortest blog post ever. Be back soon with Judah’s 10 month post.
