.TOTALLY RAD.

So, I've been researching and watching tons of turorials on photoshop and layers and actions etc. I am slowly learning to be a Photoshop Goddess just like Bethany , it's hard work, but everyday I'm learning more and more and applying more and more, so I feel like my photography takes on new dimensions into the VAST PSD world daily. I love learning, and application is the best part. The computer side of digital photography is the hardest part for me because I LOVE being around my clients and doing the SOCIAL aspect of my job is by far the easiest for me. :) I'm definitely NOT a tech nerd. But I'm working on improving my skills..... photoshop skills, blogging skills, turorial skills, batching skills,.... Guys like girls with SKILLS!!!!!! HAHAHA..... okay enough on this post, I've gotta step away from the screen and go for a run!!!! Peace and Love!! ~Sarah

These Actions are TOTALLY RAD!!!!


For the first image I used the SX-70 action then did a few additional edits of my own.


For this image, I used the Super Old School HQ action, then my own edits.

.prom 2008.

So, this is so much fun, a few of my seniors (senior portraits), hello... I'm definetly NOT old enough to have an 18 year old of my own... hehehe. Anyways, a few of my seniors went to prom and asked me if I could shoot some *not so traditional* prom pics of them before the dance. Sara, JJ, Hailey and Ben all double dated for the evening and they looked AWESOME!!! Girls, you looked GORGEOUS!!! No offense to JJ and Ben who looked very hansom as well. I had so much fun shooting out in JJ's orchard with all the blossoms in full bloom. Thanks you guys!!!! Good luck Sara on Prom Court 2008.

.Fashion Funky Stuff.

So, I've been SUPER into the funky fine art stuff..... I love it. I love using textures and colors and bumping the saturation and contrast on my fashion stuff..... This is the latest stuff I've been editing through for some portfolio work. I am SO close to graduating school and I'm getting SUPER STOKED on becoming a real live (as in full time) photographer. I can't wait to just do my own shoots and bookings instead of school stuff. :) :) :)

.Wooden Shoes Tulip Gardens.

.new website stuff.

So, I am in the process of getting a new website up and going, it's just hard to find time to design stuff, but I'm debating on a few new layout styles.... let me know what you guys think??..... Should I go more classic and clean or should I go with more of a fashion/style focused??? I don't know. Also, you have to know that these are the simple background and formats to house my images.... so this is the backdrop for my galleries etc.... I'm so indecisive this stuff is super hard for me. :) Thanks Guys!!!! :) :) :)

.babies and their mommies are precious.

If one feels the need of something grand, something infinite, something that makes one feel aware of God, one need not go far to find it. I think that I see something deeper, more infinite, more eternal than the ocean in the expression of the eyes of a little baby when it wakes in the morning and coos or laughs because it sees the sun shining on its cradle.
~Vincent van Gogh








Babies are bits of stardust, blown from the hand of God.
