POTD: SOOC...from that to this(before and afters) September 10th - September 16th

September 10

Alright, I decided that I did this challenge thing to get better, so I can't just use my wife's pictures, so I decided to take a really bad shot, bad composition, horrible lighting and white balance and see what I could do to it. I am just a beginner in photoshop and those of you that know a lot about photoshop I could really use some helpful hints on how to do things better.
































Okay, for this week I am cheating a little bit, because I didn't take these pictures or touch them up, my wife did. But she has had fun playing with her fairy brushes so I just thought I had to post these pictures. Since she tried to make our daughter look like a fairy there are some drastic differences between the finished product and the original picture. HHCC wanted and appreciated.

POTD: Family and Friends September 3rd - September 9th

September 3

New Best Friends
Last Tuesday, August 28, we had a new addition to our family. Little Regan was born late that night and the next day she met her new best friend, her big sister Paisley. I guess this is good timing for this weeks challenge, because who can be better friends than two sisters? If you want to see more pictures and information about Regan check out my wife's blog. HHCC wanted and appreciated.
