My photographer friend, Rachel Law, submitted some pictures to be selected for a magazine. And they picked Sydni's 2 yr fall pic for the COVER ISSUE!! We are beyond excited...here is a link to the cover and you can buy your very own issue there. Now, I REALLY want this to be their best selling issue EVER so break out the mastercard please :)

Photoshop actions

Here is Averi straight out of the camera...


This one is called "fresh and colorful". Probably my favorite...










This is "black and white beauty". I love this too but as much as I love black and white I can't get away from my girl(s) red hair.











This is a way cool action called "vintage". Doesn't this pic look like it was taken in the 20's or something??? Very cool...











And I guess I should probabyl give credit to these very cool actions. I didn't come up with them myself thats for sure! I visit a site called http://www.thepioneerwoman.com/. It is an eclectic blend of cooking, photography and life. She is my hero.

So which one of these pics is your favorite??

eta...I don't know why there is so much spacing in this post...it doesn't look that way when I edit. And the pics aren't that blurry. I think they just look that way b/c they were shrunk down to load to blogger. But you get the idea :)

We had a wonderful time at the beach. Here is a collage I made on photoshop ALL by myself.
