Fun in photoshop

I don't usually use photoshop for much more than a little sharpening and color correction but I had a litte fun with these. I'm loving the first one!

Babysitting

I got to watch this sweet cheeked boy on Monday and couldn't resist that face. It must be the mom in me but my favorite part of this picture is the left over squash on his face from his lunch.

I'll be back

So I still love the idea of daily photos I just wasn't loving mine. I was frustrated with the monotony and lack of quality. I want to keep pushing myself to improve and have some ideas for the near future. I even have a fun new toy to play with! It has me completely inspired.
Whats a post without a photo right.

My Baby is ONE!

I almost always prefer natural color pictures but in this case my lighting wasn't perfect. We were in heavy shadow and even with photoshop I couldn't get the skin tones right. So when in doubt try a funky edit:)

 I wasn't going to attempt taking my 2 1/2 year old's pictures but she was with us was actually giving me real smiles! Her Hair is a mess but oh well she is still stinking cute!

Days 51-53

Meet baby {N}'s Family

Sweet Baby {N}

I have another post coming soon of the rest of this great family

Days 46-50

Days 40-45 (I dropped the ball)

After my last post you might have been under the impression that I wasn't giving up. It only took me one more week to drop the ball. I haven't pulled out my nice camera since Day 45. I got so busy getting ready for our trip to Toronto that I didn't have time. I intended on pulling it out on vacation but we were too busy playing so I only used my point and shoot. I am going to continue but I'm human so there are a few missed days.

Thoughts

I am 39 days in to my challenge (one photo a day).The question is whether to continue or not. I almost gave up on the idea a week into it until I realized that while its A LOT of work and the results are not as high quality as I had hoped, it helps give my day purpose. It forces me to think about my day as I go along trying to pinpoint what the purpose or overall feel of my day is. I have considered journaling along with the pictures to give you a better idea of why I chose a picture of my messy house, my peaceful moments, the chaos of kids. I decided against it so the pictures can just speak for themselves. So for now at least I'll keep on going.
