Another lake trip

. Category: personal

yes another trip to the lake but this time we stayed in a pimpin lake house near Gun Barrel City. The house next door was for sale for 1.2 mil. It was nice to see how the other half live for a while. So here go some pics…I posted quite a few so bare with me. I’m on a “maternity leave” from photography and I guess I got a little trigger happy out there. The belly has grown too big to do photo shoots right now.

Anyway, I’m also having monitor issues after re-calibrating last night. These pics look completely different now from when I edited them. So if anyone sees this…let me know how these photos look to you. Thanks!
Enjoying a morning cup o’ joe

me and Asa…a rarity


This kid LOVED the jet ski.
Sweet girly Olivia…
uh oh…Rachel we’re in so much trouble.
These next 2 were edited AFTER I re calibrated. How does this look to you?
My little poser…

    Hi Jen… Now aren’t you glad you skipped the brunch? These are great! The ones before calibration look a little “washed out” or something to me… then one of Olivia right after almost looks too bright (but incredible). I can’t believe how cute she is getting! Anyway, thanks for sharing, as always.

    Me again… Had to leave another comment because I looked again this morning and… I love BOTH of those pictures of Olivia! Maybe the monitor thing was supposed to happen for you to get those shots.

Early morning conversations with Asa

. Category: personal

We went to a pirate party on Sat that extended into a late night party for the adults, so we ALL got to sleep in. woo! Asa even got to see a REAL pirate too! Of course I forgot my camera and don’t have anything to share from the party darnit! But he had a blast running around like a mad man and staying up till midnight! We got up Sunday morning and he recapped the night for me. He’s so funny and animated. That mouth never stops moving!



A moment of silence to collect his thoughts….hehe.

Remember that photography workshop I went to, ohhh, back in APRIL!? Well, I finally got a chance to edit some of the pictures. I took around 800 pictures in 3 days!! So finding the time to go through all the photos was proving to be impossible. I did, however, find some really cool software that really helped me out. It easily lets you view, rate, and categorize RAW files just like PhotoMechanic but it’s FREE! It’s called ViewNX but it’s only available for Nikon users.

Anyway, here are some photos from the 3 days. It was an awesome experience. I can’t say enough about Amy, Michael and Fred. They are all truly gifted photographers! And I’m so glad I got to meet them.



behind the scenes….
so small
Day 2




Our bride & groom models. I took SO many of them. Isn’t that chapel so cute?

ooooh ooooh I got really excited about this shot. love the movement and light going through her dress!

On this one I keep thinking “DON’T DO IT!!!” hehe…


More behind the scenes….I have a ton of these!
honest to goodness lens flare…no photoshop involved.

SO cool!

Day 3 was just the bride by herself and Fred’s boys at this AMAZING location. I just love, loved that old building.
