New Family Picture


We did some family pictures over the weekend and I have been playing around with Photoshop and was able to make this fun little layout. I also cropped out Paisley's face and put a happier face on her body. I was pretty surprised I was able to make it all work and actually look okay.
I still am absolutely loving my wonderful camera!! And now I am loving my recent purchase of photoshop...I never would have bought it, but I ended up needing it for my vinyl business.
I have had lots of fun taking pictures of my own family as well as my brother and sister's families. I have even drummed up a little business and I get to take a couple of my friends family pictures in the next couple of weeks. I am completely an ametour, but hey...I am also cheap! Besides, it really has been fun to see the end results.

this is how the picture used to look


and I put this cute little face on Paisley's body


and came up with this
Posted by Picasa


Here are some more pictures that I made into a photo collage on the picnik website. It is just so much easier to load on thing, then trying to load several. I have learned that it is so quick and easy to load the pictures from my picture editor {I use picasa}, then sitting and waiting for several minutes with the blog picture loader.

Cute family picture!! We desperately need to get one done. We haven't had a family picture done since Brody was probabaly 9 months old...how pathetic is that. Maybe I need to talk to you!!! I love that you were able to put on a "happy face" for Paisley. Knowing my little girl that is something I am sure I would have to do.

I should totally have you do our family pics. I can't get Lil Miss to smile for anything. Your pics turned out great.

When you are feeling less busy, we want to get pictures too. Look's like you've got a line up waiting though! Can't wait to work with you someday--you're such a business woman!
