I Heart Faces - Photojournalism

I LOVE the style of photography that I Heart Faces (www.iheartfaces.com) is focusing on this week!! I love that it can be casual and easy - I prefer casual and easy as a general pace of life over anything contrived =) I think that a good photo - the one that you look at over and over and over - is the one that happens, the one that takes place before you and, if you're lucky, you just happen to have been watching the world go by in that moment from behind your camera.

Obviously, a maternity shoot is slightly planned =) My favorite thing about this photo is that there was something really special and not planned about thise moment....I love that there is a secret conversation going on between these two. I imagine that it revolves around the precious little person that is about to enter their world...but - I'll never know =)

Fix It Friday

Hiya!!

This is my first participation in any sort of I Heart Faces fun in awhile! I just couldn't resist getting back into the swing of things this week =) I thought this photo was quite good to begin with so I really just played with the light and color.



Here's what I did using PSE 7:

Cropped it in some. ( I totally love my crop tool....it really is my best friend!)

* I lightened it alot to really make it bright.

*cI used the Smart Brush to brighten the sky and amp up the green in the greenery.

* I also upped the saturation on blues and greens in general.

That's really about it =) It was a slower photography week for me personally so I was excied to be able to have a photo to play with =)
