Charleah's Bridals

I took Charleah's bridals two weeks before her wedding. It was really fun. I had plans to go all around Houston to get it done. I realized that I was making it too complicated so all the pictures were taken within 5 miles of my parent's house. It made the day less stressful. 

Also, people in Texas are just nice. (Maybe it happens everywhere) Several people stopped or rolled down their window to tell her congratulations. She was in a wedding dress after all.

Charleah is super photogenic. So I felt like every picture was pretty good. Add some photoshop elements actions from The Pioneer Woman, and you get some of my favorite pictures. 

Miss Kali

While practicing my photography, I snapped this just as Kali heard some other animal move. I laughed out loud when I saw it.

I took this picture on Monday night and then used Photoshop Elements again. The texture I used was downloaded from the Coffee Shop Photoshop Blog.

Photoshop Elements

I have had Photoshop Elements all summer, and I have been trying really hard to do something amazing with it. I could figure out to do stuff that I could do on free software- like Picasa. And I know how to do something that Photoshop is known for- like removing and replacing objects in photos. But there was a certain style that I was trying to learn. I finally found an AMAZING blog, when this lady doesn't charge to give tips, free downloads, tutorials. I am in love with it. CoffeeShop.

Tonight, I downloaded some textures and did this to one of my wedding photos.


I really love the look of it. Chris doesn't it like it too much, but he just doesn't get it.

So let me know what you think. I know it isn't perfect, but that is why I am practicing.
