Photoshop Actions::A Story of New Found Love

I'm kind of new to the photoshop world, and I just discovered photoshop actions.
HOWWWWWW did I ever live without them? They make my life so much easier! I did a lot of browsing on deviant art and found about 15 that I really like! (and they are free!) of course they have fabulous action on sites that you can buy, but we'll save that for another day!

I wanted to give you a few examples of some actions that I liked.....

this is the original, followed by the actions








possibly my favorite...good clarity, neutral tones, and just a smidgen washed out, which I love.


I'm not sure how to feel about this action, but i think I like it. i know it will look better with a picture with lower light.


Now, like with most things in life, some of these actions were hit and miss...these missed. Its not really the action, but rather the picture that is the problem....but still the point is that not all pictures and actions go together.

Meet your Photographer!

Hello! I thought it was time that I better introduce myself!

I love my family, I love my friends, and I love photography!

I'm 20 years old, I'm married to a wonderful man (we just celebrated our 3rd year of marriage! yes, i got married at 17!)Together we have a beautiful 20 month old baby girl, and we just found out that we are expecting number 2! We are a military family, Air Force to be exact! I enjoy moving, but I am glad that we will be in one place for a while.

I enjoy music, movies, and blogs! I feel like I'm very easy to get along with, and tend to become friends with most people I meet.

I like to get out of the house and explore...I'm having a great time discovering new photo locations here in Augusta!

I "pride" myself on my affordable prices, I don't think anyone should be have to go to a studio and get boring portraits done, when you can get photos that show your child's personality for the same, or less money!!

If you are looking at my blog, I'm hoping that you may be a future costumer, and friend!

Always feel free to email me with any questions, comments, or just to say Hi!!

(it can take me up to 3 days to get back with you sometimes, but rest assured I WILL email you back!)
