Photo: & a few more

I've kind of fizzled out on editing pictures for now.
I did these ones the other day.....I LOVE them all just about the same. I need the couple to choose which one is their favorite.

Well, this one is Andy's favorite. I know that. I like it too..but I think I like the & in between best.

Photo: Engagements {a&j} part I

Andy is my brother

Jesse is my soon to be sister in law

and they are both very trusting and asked me to take some engagement pictures of them. 

We went to a couple of places goofing off :) 

For their announcement they want a simple black and white photo of just their faces. 

(their wedding is black and white)

(which is why most of these have no color...:( 

Some I kept the color for you to see....

and added some of the other pictures. 

Part II will have more of the "couple in love" theme about them.

This blog is for me and my hobbies. 

Its my projects, my bookmarks, my portfolio and my scrapbook. 

I by no means think I'm in a position to make people pay for pictures- but I REALLY like this new photography hobby of mine. and I REALLY want to learn and get better at it. (much better) So I need to practice; and love willing subjects...something other than my food and kids. haha. 

I took some the other day of a birthday party.

{they need to be watermarked...no stealing} 

Here are some of my favorites....

none of the pictures are altered, have actions applied or anything. I'm trying to get great pictures without photoshopping them all up. without fixing my exposure on the computer and erase shadows...but yes, I could probably make their eyes POP more and the colors vibrant. but not now. 

the decorations:

THE FOOD 
Isn't Steph amazing? 

The CAKE

The {delicate} Birthday Girl

 too much going on at first...

now we got it.

Her beautiful Mom
