Beautiful Beautiful B!

It's going to be hard to express how much I simply adore this girl.  I have known her for the past 3 years and she is amazing!  Not only is she incredibly gorgeous but she is crazy talented, kind, smart and a wonderful person inside and out.  B is a pianist and headed to College this summer.  She is going to do something incredible with her life.  I can't wait to see what is next for her.  I am so proud of her!  She is one of those people who make you a better person for knowing her.  Love you Miss B!!

I love these of B because they truly remind me of her and who she is.

Again, such a FUN photo shoot!  I loved every second of it.  THANK YOU!!

N+D Married!

This reception was SO fun!  I loved every minute of it.  There was a point during their first dance when they recited vows to one another that, well lets just say, I am glad I had my camera in front of my face.  It was one of those moments in my life that I just felt honored to be in the room.  These two are definitely made for one another.  They were so happy and they both looked like they were having so much fun.  It was such a great way to start their lives together.  It was such a pleasure to be part of it!  Not to mention that N was a BEAUTIFUL Bride!

Daddy / Daughter dance.... so sweet!

This is N's new step-son and she is amazing with him.  A beautiful thing to see!!

Have I ever mentioned how much I adore Grandparents??

Congrats to the happy couple!  Thank you for sharing your special day with me!

The BEAUTIFUL Miss T

I know its been a while since I have updated.  It's been an in-sane couple of weeks.  BUT I have the BEST session to post!  I LOVE LOVE LOVE all these pic's!!
This girl is literally the total package!  She is going places and I have a feeling that someday I will be able to say, "I took her picture" because she is going to be a big deal.  She's GORGEOUS, smart and an athlete!  Plays soccer for Texas Christian University!  HELLO!  Sorry boys, she's taken :)

I'm sort of obsessed with these boots...

Usually behind every successful child is a beautiful, amazing MOM!  Her Mom was SO fun and kept making her laugh.  Watching these two was so neat.  I hope that me and my daughter can have a relationship like these two!  They were cracking each other up and you could see how much they love and respect one another.  A beautiful thing to see!

It was such a FUN session!  I adore them both!  Thank you Ladies it was so fun!!

Post-Processing

I am working on trying some new things in photoshop.  I wanted to post a few pic's side by side.  Please feel free to leave me a comment on which you like better.  And any constructive criticism you may have :)
The one on the left or top is the before and straight out of camera.

I love the processed one :) but of corse he is the most beautiful boy no matter what :)

I'm torn on this one.  Maybe they are just too different?

I do realize they are two different pic's but I was too far in the process to switch it :) close enough.  Love the one on the right!

Bottom one hands down.

I like the one on the left better.  Sometimes it just doesn't work :) 

Believe it or not but this pic IS straight out of camera.  Not touching it!  Love it!

I didn't do the comp on this because I ran out of time but I am honestly really torn on this.  I really like it but I think it looks over-processed and goes too far from her cute self :)

Better in black and white

Anyway, I feel like photoshop is amazing and their are definitely pic's that are better with it.  BUT you don't have to use it all the time.  It's easy to get carried away and go too far from the original.  It's fun to play around but I still love those organic, natural shots!  Just wanted to post some things I have been trying out lately :)
