The Holidays are over

Today is my first day back at work and now my life can move back into its normal schedule. Katie and her husband, Pat, visited for 10days and being snowed in, we watched a lot of TV. It was nice to just do nothing. But I'm fighting the urge to still do nothing. I want to clean out my studio and still have one senior to finish, so I've got plenty to do. I'll start posting again now that I'm back to normal. If you could ever consider me normal... LOL

Ending 2008 Weddings

My last wedding was on the 20th. I've played with an image I took of her in the doorway - a twist on the typical silhouette shot. I HATE the door handles, so I PSed the image a bit. Does the adjustment look too stupid?

From the Webcam

just me & the kids playing with the webcam - of course I changed it to b&w in photoshop.

Session this Morning

I haven't had many sessions lately, but things are starting to pick up. Hopefully next year will be better. Here is one from this morning.

{It's beginging to look alot like Christmas}

Look what we woke up to - and it's still snowing. It's coco season for sure...lol Patten and Ruth had sooo much fun. As did the boys. More images on my blog if you want to see more fun in the snow.

ILP

Anyone know what's up with ILP? I've not been able to get on for days.

Rain!

On our garden....we certainly needed it!

things are calming down

tryouts are over, parents meeting is over now I just need to order the teamwear and I can be a photographer again! Whew! I hate being this busy. I'll be back soon with lots to share.

Corel Painter

I received The Art of Digital Photo Painting by Marilyn Sholin in the mail today. It comes with sample images and step by step instructions for how to use the program to make these images into paintings. She uses some filters/plug-ins that I don't have the funds to buy right now, but I made my own adjustments and thought it turned out pretty well. So, should I bring in more detail in paintings? About this much since it doesn't have faces? Less? Let me know what you think.

Don't Shoot Me

I won't even say I've been busy, cause who hasn't? Football is over, writing is over...for now. Love writing, love getting complimented on my articles but hate the editing process. I can't stand having my stories changed "to fit the AP style" but we're working on a compromise :) and maybe I'll write again during baseball. For basketball season tho, I'm just taking pics....yeah! This is our son Wilson (#23), he's a junior starter on Varsity.

The Molen's Christmas

Here is my Sister-in-Law with her family. We took family pictures after the blizzard that we had. Although it was absolutely freezing we got some great shots.

Greetings from the Lost

{Happy Baby}

This was taken during my portrait party yesterday. What do you think, is she happy or what! lol

I'm not lost

I'm submerged........ I'm in the middle of volleyball tryouts and I'm still NOT done with my Seniors. But I do see the light at the end of the tunnel and in two weeks I will be all caught up!!! But I'll try and post some images but don't count on me until the beginning of next week ok???

My Baby, the Fashionista??

Jessica put this outfit together and wanted pictures taken, so we spent about an hour playing at the train tracks. I know the pp work blew out the white dress in the standing image. I've got to get the pp figured out! Any other CC on the pics or the pp would be much appreciated!
