Edit Me SUMMER SHOW OFF

My SUMMER SHOW OFF pic.....chose a simple one of my son drawing by the window....=) I used PSE10 for this edit. 1) enhanced his eyes a bit by using the magnetic lasso tool, outlining both eyes, ctrl+J,selecting the high pass filter, set to 20, the changed layer to soft light. 2) brighten the pic up a notch 3) sharpened and defogged. DONE..didnt do alot because of the natural light....!

And Baby Makes 3=)

Yes it's sooo true...I'm having a lil babe<3 Something I've wanted for SO long now, of course this is MY life so things don't always fall the way they are supposed to, in the conventional world. I got pregnant once again out of wed lock..OH NO, stone me now! Honestly, I'm not proud of it, my plans were to meet a wonderful man, get married, wait a few months and get pregnant since I'm going to be turecspening 30 in about a year and my clock was a'tickin. BUT, God had other plans for me. I was dating a man for a bout 5 years, a good man to Ayvin, somewhat like a stepfather, he WAS going to be his actual stepfather, but we went our seperate ways, a few times actually. We kept coming back to each other, thinking that this time would be different, that we would 'get along' maybe? We finally called it quits, I met a man...had one crazy night with him, began dating and bam...one month later I find out I'm having his baby. To my surprise, he didn't run or tell me to get out of his sight (that came later..lol) He was supportive, said we will get through this, took it better than myself! Then the ex had to let us know shew as there and she began saying things to him to sway him. Of course, it worked and he went through a phase of not wanting anything to do with me. I let it be. I let him go and figure it out on his own. Of course a week later, he let me know he wasn;t going anywhere and yes they were back to gether but if she couldn't handle this, she wasn't going to be around. We knew then she wouldn't be able to. What woman could? Ecspecially one who only came to him out of spite? SHe didnt care for him. nor did she wanna be with him but she sure as hell didn't want anyone else having his baby..long story short...we're having a girl and were SOOOO happy.....about the fact that were having a girl, not together. WE have chosen to build a friendship (since we skipped that part..lol) and then later down the road..maybeeee marraige. Yes I care for him, but we still have alot of work to do. He's unbelievably supportive...and I can tell he's really diggin' my pregnant look...;) Since this is all NEW to me again, after 9 years of NOT having babies, and i'm older now, I'm soaking everything in, I want to start writing to my daughter (Delaney Ruth...)about all of this that I'v went through, jsut for her. I love her. I guess if I didn't do things backwards I wouldn't do them at all. =)

BLOG DESIGNS!

I WANT A NEW BLOG DESIGN! Someone please help me...lol =)

EDIT ME CHALLENGE: Baby Jonah=)

I've been out of the EDIT ME challenge for a few months now and I am absolutely in LOVE with this week's photo of baby Jonah. Here is my entry followed by a before and after version for everyone to see....=) My computer crashed so I had to use Picnik, not as many options to edit with but I did what I could.I first adjusted the lighting using the exposure tool, sharpened and clarified a bit, then tweeked the tempature of the photo, I then used the ORTONISH effect to add some softness, then I went into the advanced tab and messed with the LEVELS of the photo to enhance a few features, I also brightened his eyes (tried to anyway, Picnik is nothing like LR or PSE9 *sad face*)...I also added a bit of the CROSS PROCESSING effect...and there u have it!

Please go take a look at all of the other entries, there are so many fabulous edits!

Super-Human aka Mom

Don't get me wrong, I love photography. But I need a little more education in it and I have already gotten one degree that I don't use. So, I might as well put those skills and that degree to use before I get too rusty, while brushing up on my skills behind the lens. I'm a mom, so adding a full time job, a few night classes, and keeping my business on the side won't BLOG me down...I'm super human. 'can't nobody hooooold me down,,ooh no,,, I got to keep on mooooovin''......In the midst of all of these NEW decisions to make, I had a lovely photoshoot with a lovely pregnant couple gettign ready to welcome a babyboy named Jaxon=) super fun!
