I just like the more … vintage feel. You know what I mean?

Join in, y’all!

Fix-It Friday!

It has been a while since I have done a Fix-It Friday with I Heart Faces, but I couldn’t resist this one … you can see below that it was just absolutely precious, too precious to pass up!

Here’s the Original:

and here’s my LR edit:

She sure is a cute little punkin! Benjamin thinks so. He walked up as I finished the edit and said, “Oh! Coooot! Coooooot!” Of course, that means “cute”, which he just now started saying… which I think is very coot. I mean, cute.

Link yours up to I Heart Faces, and check out the other edits!

I Heart Faces: All About Babies

Okay so in the last week Stacia had her baby, and my cousin Brittany had her baby. By the end of the month my other cousin will have had her baby... Hello Baby Fever! I have a SLEW of adorably pregnant friends who are due all throughout the rest of the year... HELLO BABY FEVER!

And the iheartfaces theme for this week, "All About Babies"? Do I even have to say it?

Seriously.

I chose a picture from Benjamin's first week of life. We were still in the hospital {as we had an extended stay due to massive complications}. My precious perfect baby newborn... why can't I go back to those days?





By the way, you need to head over to Stacia's blog and look at her new baby. He is precious and perfect and beautiful!

Before and After

I was just about to do a blog post when I realized that today is Thursday and it's time for the Before/After Blog Hop with Pixel Perfect! So, I'll put a hold on what I was going to say! Don't worry, though, I will be using one of the photos I was going to use in my original blog post anyway!

Here's mine. Taken yesterday. It was just starting to sprinkle so the lighting was a bit dark. It needed to be brightened up.

SOOC.


LR Edit.


Ta-Da!

Fix It Friday at I {Heart} Faces!

I {HEART!} this photo. I could not resist "fixing" this one today. It was much too precious for me to pass up. Oh, I love it!



Here's the large version of my LR Edit.



I thought it needed more of a vintage feel. I mean check out that background.

Isn't that a sweet photo? I need me a pair of twins so I can take sweet photos like this! ha! You reading, Hubby?

Before and After

A beautiful sunshiney day! Who could resist taking a few pictures? Here's a shot from today that I wanted to use for the Before & After Blog Hop!

SOOC:

I think the brightness really adds to the picture! It was taken in the shade but you couldn't tell now, could you? Except for the fact that Benjamin isn't squinting!

Before and After

It's been a while since I've done just a photography post like this. Today I took Benjamin outside for a mini shoot {there were a bajillion ant hills out in the back yard so we went back inside} just so I could participate in this week's Before/After Blog Hop. And while I didn't get a lot of amazing shots, it was still hard to choose which picture I wanted to share with you.

But, here we go:

SOOC:


LR EDIT:



I chose that one because it is so Benjamin. He is always so curious about everything. At that particular moment he had a couple weeds sticking to the tennis ball that he was concerned about. Precious.

I hope you're all having a beautiful week so far! Weekend isn't too far away!

Fix It Friday - Oct 16, 2009

This is my first Fix It Friday, and my first time participating in I Heart Faces, but I gotta tell you ... I have fallen in love with the blog already! I think we all know how I love photography, and along with that I love editing photos!

This week's Fix It Friday is of this ADORABLE little girl ... I wonder how old she is and how far away she lives ... Matchmaker, Matchmaker ...

I kid. Benjamin already has an intended!

Anyway ... here are my edits! I did 6 because I'm obsessed. Click on the smaller pictures for full-size.
