Destination weddings and portraits.
So today over at I ♥ Faces we were given the chance to mess around with the following image and give our two cents worth of editing. Here’s my version of “Southern Belle”.
MY VERSION:
ORIGINAL:
What I did:
I used my own action that I call “Vintage Blush”. Then I used some of the Totally Rad Actions to pop some of the details and yin/yang the dark and light areas of the photo. I also used Photoshop’s filters to add some motion blur to her.
Okay so this morning a LOT has been going wrong from the moment I woke up. The only one I will mention on here though is my cyst-popping incident. I went upstairs to discipline Charlie & Tristan because they were fighting in the playroom, so I put them in timeout, each in his own little corner. I then decided I would plop down on the ground and wait until they did their time. Well, as I “plopped” on the floor, I put my wrist down and then I practically shrieked in pain ans I felt all sorts of painful sensations flow through my wrist. I looked at it and either I couldn’t see the cyst anymore, or it was so swollen that it hid underneath all that swollen madness. My wrist! My ‘editing’ wrist. So, I am taking the day and the rest of this weekend off from editing. I will be doing some organizing, email-answering and some light blogging to give it a rest a little bit. If you can call that rest even, lol. Too bad most of my job involves computer work. And you would think that as a photographer that it would mostly involve a camera?
Mmmmm-MMM! I LOVE Callie! This girl has almost a Claudia Schiffer/Esther(used to be DKNY Model)-esque look to her. And she was rockin’ this vintage lace dress offered through GH Marketplace on Etsy. The bouquet was created by yours truly, and the hair and makeup was also done by me. We used many different hair pieces that were loaned for this shoot through Etsy and I will list the different sellers so that you know who made what fabulous creation. So the theme I wanted for this session was some kind of vintage bride meets urban life. We had so many stares from people during our shoot and even had a couple of tourists take a picture of themselves with her. Not sure why, but it was funny. Here we go!
The following veil was created by Liaison using tulle from the 1940′s.
This pink creation was done by Chamberry Cherry. LOVE the drama it adds to a photo!
The following head piece was created by Chamberry Cherry. LOVED this piece!
The following veil was created by Liaison using the same tulle from the 1940′s and a gorgeous white patent leather flower.
This girl looks like she is straight out of a Neiman Marcus catalog!
