photo restoration-clone tool rules!!

here is a photograph of my brother in-law johnny and the late dear and sweet 'uncle art'(the guy was a steve mcqueen look alike-wow). the 4 X 6 photo quality was super crappy and was in need of restoration. my sis asked if i could restore for her to print a 5 X 7. so keep in mind this is a photo of a photo-on a tripod (instead of a scanned image-it was what we had to work with) and edited in cs5 www.adobe.com/. i really didn't adjust any of the colors but only cloned and repaired as good as i could. (please ignore the bottom right leg-i was so involved in removing 'gaga's' big head and hands that i overlooked that part!) well, lora was happy with the final and she believes johnny will most likely tear up when he sees it. i truly hope it brightens his day!

new moo mini and biz cards

i received my fabulous set of moo cards and they comes in such a cute and modern package. the box of 100 moo mini cards are a fantastic way to get my portfolio of photography out in the world. and for a meager $25-i can afford this! the stock is heavy weight like way more than 100# and the print quality is something i love-and i am a picky about print quality. most def be using moo.com (from the UK!!) for the future. this stuff makes me giddy with joy:)

creative fee and pricing update for website

hip and edgy junior portraits of leia elkhorn nebraska

i was looking to do some cool edits that had a hip and raw and edgy look to them in this one location with one outfit. these were photographed in elkhorn nebraska on a kinda harsh sunny afternoon back in october of last year-leia is of course imho a perfect model! so i'm biased just a little. big deal.

snow day for omaha dogs

dogs had a good day in the snow as you can see from the snow jackets and snow beards. it's certainly a challenge to shoot in snow with the blast of white lights and frigidness so i oughta practice more but heck it's cold and miserable out there. but definitely pretty.
