Such a fun image!  I love me a good fisheye shot.  I just wish I had a fisheye

After

Let’s see if I can remember what I did:  I put a vintage-y texture on it, then I brought out his face a little because it got lost after the texture.  Then I brightened his shoes up a little too because they seemed to be so much a part of his personality.  Then I may have sharpened a bit to make it crispy.  That’s it.

Check out more here!

The feel of the album is smooth and luxurious like a brand spankin' new pair of shoes! Well, it does have a nice, soft feel to it.

If this one were mine, I’d carry it around in special bag so I don’t get any scratches or dents on it!  But I remember how much time and effort went into this baby.  Just beautiful!

The hinge doesn't get in the way of the image that will be your "custom" cover.

The inside of the album. This one in particular had about 20 pages front and back. Just gorgeous!

I just love these albums. It's a precious way to keepsake your memories. Oh, and to show them off!

I offer Custom Cover Session Albums in a 10×10.  I own one of these myself and I just adore my images kept in an album like this.  No sticky pages, no plastic page to cover my picture.  No glare!  Just my special memories, virtually a 10×10 picture, in a book!  Eeee, so sweet!

And so finally, this weekend we had a big chance to get our outdoor session.  And just look at these awesome shots:

Uhhhh, who can resist a puppy with his head out the window? I know there's always a smile on this girl's face when I see one! Especially like the one I saw over the Christmas break...the dog was wearing shades! I laughed the rest of the way home!

Christy has got the most beautiful eyes!  You can tell a lot by a person’s eyes.  Like how much Walker means to her:

Here’s a collage of how much fun we had:And here’s a small collage.  I put this one together because there were a few shots that made Walker look like a new puppy.  Maybe it was the angle, maybe it was because we really tired him out!  See?  It’s gotta be his sweet little personality!  What a doll!

I had so much fun with Christy and Walker!  It was definitely my pleasure to work you two!  Your Gallery to be up soon!

The moon around 10 pm.

And of course, right about 2:45 a.m.

Good thing I won’t have to do that again for another 800 or so years!

Check out the smile on Mr. Walker!  Christy had told him all day that I’d be coming over to play and he definitely was ready for me!  Can you feel how happy he was?  I still can feel it!

And after trying to get Walker to pose for us, I came across some paws.  Some sweet, sweet paws!  I knew this one was a keeper after I snapped it.  Had to show Christy and I may have spotted a tear with that one!  LOL!

So I leave with these as just a tease.  More to come after the holidays!

Here is the Before: An awesome image to begin with!

And here is my after: Made it a little softer, sharpened and brightened up their faces and put a teeny tiny bit of texture on the image.

Oh, and I cropped in a bit to see these girls’ gorgeous faces!

These two were so much fun!  Anne is actually my neighbor from across the street.  I knew this day was going to be fun but I had no idea what was in store for me!

Mr. N being silly with his Mom's hair...

Whatever this is...

And brilliant faces like these!

But in the end, these two have the most adorable relationship!

I mean, who wouldn’t wanna give this face a squeeze?

His Mom!  That’s who!  I just have to show this one again.  It’s my favorite!

An adorable face for  you all!  I didn’t see much that she needed.  She definitely needed some warming up and little more of a close-up.

Oh, she's so sweet!

For more fixes, check out I Heart Faces!

I’m getting a little bit braver with the textures.  They’re fun to add for a little dimension to the image.

After. I love the darling expression on the baby's face. I can think of a million things that may be going through Daddy's head because we've been there and it's tough. But we couldn't be more proud of them.

Obviously not winning the war against his first bath. Ya know, to this day he hates a bath.

God, I love that baby!  As terrified as I was about being a new Mommy, I loved him as a baby so so much.  Brings back some warm memories for me.

And now look at the Turd. I still try to hold him in my arms like when he was a newborn but his legs get in the way and the amount of kisses is much much less than when he was a baby. Why God, Why?

There’s his traditional iron-on transfer t-shirt that I make him every year.  One day I will gather ever year’s pic of the iron-on tee and you’ll understand that I am a geek.

We’ve known he was going to have a Toy Story birthday party for like 11 months.  I was prepared.  Sort of.

Don't even ask me if I made that cake. You should know better than that. Good 'ol Walmart. A girl's best friend.

It was really yummy!  But 2 things: 1. Waaaaay too much frosting and 2. Waaaaay too expensive.  But they didn’t have enough chocolate so they made it with marble.  They gave me a nice discount, so I didn’t complain.  And it seems to me that I asked for butter cream frosting because my boys love it(I hate frosting) and I didn’t get that either.  Humph!  That damn cake should’ve been free!  But whatever, my little Buggie was so dang excited.  The cake could have been made with potting soil and shaving cream and he would’ve been pumped anyway.
