Family Portraits

I scheduled a photoshoot with a friend a couple of weeks ago. I really wanted to get some good family photos before my son went off to college. It's not like I will never have an opportunity to get family photos again. I know that. But, in my mind at least, this is the last time before the family dynamic changes and he's more independent and moving into adulthood. (This of course is what we wish for him!) Well, he's settled into his new school and he seems happy (and busy). I'm very happy for him. That of course doesn't change the fact that I miss having him here at home with me. {Sigh!}

Yesterday my friend (She Captures Photography) dropped off a disk with about a zillion edited photos from our photoshoot. To say I was thrilled would be an understatement. I put together two pages of family photos to include in my Project Life album.

I am just so happy to have these photos!

This is me (apparently a bit of a dork) :)

Sharing my apparent dorky-ness. LOL! By posting this I'm officially saying, I'm perfectly comfortable being a bit of a dork when I'm at home. :)

Scrapaneers June Champions is here! (Roatan Bay Islands Honduras)

Scrapaneer's June Champions is here and it's got great tips on photo editing. Here's a page I made and that's included in the companion book. (I used the class kit by Sugarplum Paper to create my page.)



My photos were taken on a really sunny day and were somewhat underexposed and with our hats our faces were super shady. In the Companion Book (and in the Champions gallery) I described the steps I took in Lightroom to edit my photos and to reduce the shade over our faces.
