Wedding photos

Here is a little sneak peak at John and Sirrah's pictures! She is absolutely gorgeous, isn't she!  Thank you John and Sirrah for letting Richard and I be apart of such a beautiful day, we enjoyed getting to know you and wish you all the best for the years to come!

I love photoshop!

When capturing this prince charming moment, another dream-like photo opportunity happened.  Unfortunately my flash wasn't ready for this perfect picture.

Which created a picture that was far too dark.  With a little photoshop work, I was able to salvage this moment by creating this dreamy photo.  I love it!

I am still learning what photoshop can do, and loving the possibilities!

Wow!  I haven't published a new post in a while!  I have been crazy busy!  Lots of stuff going on!  I am working on a website that will be www.shutterstarphotography.com when I am finished.  I sold almost all my school stuff and am cleaning out the whole downstairs for my brother-in-law to move in.  I received my new soft boxes and am now saving for my lights. We celebrated our 7th wedding anniversary.  And we have been camping every time we have a free weekend.  I love summer!  Even if life is a little crazy!

Well in the midst of my crazy life I still find time to work.  I have done some fun photo shoots and want to share with you some of my pictures.  First I want to share a sneak peak at a hair model photo.

Photoshop brushes

I downloaded some new photoshop brushes!  This is the first time I have used brushes.  What do you think?  I need some feedback!  Do you like this creation with or without the brushes?

Grace & Matthew

I had so much fun with these two!  They are such an adorable couple and really neat people.  Where they got married was beautiful and it was a beautiful day, everything was perfect!  Thank you Grace and Matthew for the opportunity to photograph your big day!  I had such a hard time picking my favorite pictures, so I might post more later!

Katie & Jordan

I had the honor of shooting Katie and Jordan's wedding last Saturday.  I will have the pictures uploaded for friends and family to view by June 30th, but I wanted to share a sneak peak of my favorites now.  Katie and Jordan are good friends of ours, so we were privileged that they asked our boys to be their ring bearers and me to be the photographer.  Katie, you looked so beautiful! Jordan, even though you wanted to take my camera and hit me with it, I know you still love me. I am so glad Katie found you, I know that you will love her and take care of her better than anyone. I also want to say a big thank you to my husband!  It was a lot of work to drive us to the wedding, help me set up, get the boys dressed, assist with pictures, and take care of our two boys with no naps.  He is so great!  I wouldn't be able to do all that I do without him!
