"Orange"

Recently, I attended a dear friend's wedding. She has always had a fun sense of style and it definitely came through on her wedding day!! I just fell in love with her orange shoes!! I snapped this picture, and it is still my favorite from the whole day!!

Fix-It Friday #72

The photo we we able to work with this week is very special! I played around with different versions of it and just wasn't satisfied. After, I started my last edit, I was hoping that it would turn out just how I was envisioning it in my mind. IT DID! I hope you enjoy my edit! Please let me know what you think.

My Edit

Trek out to Snoqualmie River

We took off and drive out to the Middle Fork of the Snoqualmie River to go on a hike. We were trying to hurry so we would miss the rain that we knew was coming...we sort of made it. It started to sprinkle on us as we were making the trek back out to the truck.

The trail is very lush and beautiful! The river was so clear and suprisingly green! It was so cool to be able to see completely to the bottom; we were hoping to see some fish swimming but we didn't see anything! It looked like there could be some good spots to go fishing though...maybe next spring time!

Here are just a couple of the pics that I took while we were out and about.

Fix-It Friday #71

Fix-It Friday #70

Yay! It's Friday!! I always look forward to Fix-It Fridays!! They are always a great distraction from the stresses of the week! This week there are lots of stresses so I didn't have as much time as I usually do so I've only done 3 simple edits. I hope you still enjoy them!

Let me know what you think! :)

Fix-It Friday #68

So, I'm not going to lie...today, I totally woke up on the wrong side of the bed! It just started out as one of those days where you wake up cranky for no reason...don't you hate those? Well, I knew it was Fix-It Friday so before I did anything else I figured I would download the picture and come back to it later in the day when I felt I had the "motivation" to work on it.

I'm so GLAD I didn't! I just threw myself into the editing process and since I'm still fairly new to Photoshop (and not to mention...self-taught) I had to do some research on how I could achieve the results I was wanting! This all proved to be such a great distraction that now I'm finised with the editing...I'm not cranky anymore! Thank you I Heart Faces for making my day better!! :) I hope all of you find something that makes you happy today!

Here are my edits of the wonderful picture taken by Dana Suggs! I hope you enjoy...let me know what you think!!

Fix-It Friday #67

Hooray for Fix-It Friday!! I have always looked forward to Fridays because it's the beginning of the weekend, however, Fix-It Fridays just add a whole new level to loving Friday!!

This week's picture is super adorable! I started playing with it in color and enjoyed the results that I was able to achieve. Then, I decided to start playing with it in a sepia tone and was pretty happy with the results too! Let me know what you think and/or where I can improve with my editing! Have a great weekend!!

Fix-It Friday #64

Hello All! It's another wonderful Fix-It Friday!! I woke up this morning more excited that usual for Fix-It Friday because I FINALLY got Photoshop! YAHOO!! I know, I know...I'm a bit behind the times but since I've really only gotten into photography over the last month and a half all the freebie programs (mainly Picassa) worked just fine for me. Now, my eyes have been opened up to a whole new world! Ha ha ha!! I just got Photoshop 3 days ago and have been playing with it trying to learn how to edit with it, so bare with me if my edits this week aren't up to par!! :) I hope have enjoyed this week's Fix-It Friday...I know I did! Have a great weekend!!
