Here is a SOOC shot!

{straight out of camera}

.

The pic on the left hasn't been sized, cropped, sharpened or any color alterations!

The pic on the right is my finished product in all my glory...lol  :)
.
Now remember blogger is slighty gay and takes away alot of the intense color that I see in my photoshop!
{ Mr.blogger?--------fix that!!}
.
.
This just goes to show its not a hop, skip, jump, slide, summersault away from what my camera takes to when I get to play artist in my photoshop!
Its like a FRESH canvas everytime I upload a picture onto my compter!
I relate this to Christmas....lol
Just as exciting and enjoyable......
.
anyways------
Back to the picture,
I think some don't understand the work that goes into ones session.....
not only do we spend time setting up the session, but time to prepare for the session.
Props, Ideas, Locations, Colors...ect...
Then travel.
Then upload and download into your OWN little file.....:)
Then FB and BLOG a small sneaky peaky for your pleasure......most EXCITING PART EVA!
Thennnnnn.....
The work starts.
Taking time with every picture to make sure its beautiful in color and b&w!
At times I find myself sitting there smiling cuz the people make me smile, and I find myself getting anxiety and sweaty hands cuz I am so EXCITED.......yes i know, kinda nerdy!
But its my passion and my love.....
.

WHATS IN MY BAG??
.
.
Well I shoot with the Canon 5d Mark II
which I have LOVED!
.
I took these pictures with my 50mm Lens.
.
.
In my near Future the NEW Canon 5d Mark III will be in my hands.....I can taste it!
along with a 24 -70 lens....{I think}
Makes my heart PITTTTER PATTER!!!!
.
.
.
Wests house------
Things are good here!
Very good!
Better then they have in a VERY LONG TIME!
My heart is happy.
.
Of course we have rainy days....
But I have have a collection of rainboots remember?
.
.
.
Im thank for all my friends who love me....:)
Thankful for kind people, people who are capable to see who someone TRULY is inside.
Those are the beautiful ones......;)
  Life is to be enjoyed not to be made miserable.....and those who try and tarnish someone's " happy" should be shanked..........
.
.
Things are ALWAYS what they seem.....
I think people should remember this.....Including me!
The end...
xoxo!

Continued.......

Fasha's day.......

What an amazing day to reconize someone special in my life.

Not that I need one day a year to realize....:)

.

.

THEEE most unconditional loving man alive!

Loves you for you.

See's your potential.

See's your color.

Builds you up and makes you feel like you can do and become anything!

Loves you when you fall, and loves you when you rise!

Helps you grow.

Helps you see things in a different light!

.

Still loved me when I said swear words to him when I was 16.

and ran away.

lol

My dad gives really BIG EYES when you know your introuble.....  :)

.

He is a family man.

Loves when we are together.

 Is emotional.....and tender, and he loves his 5 daughters.

{how can he NOT be emotional when tampons and hairspray and mascara were staples in our house growing up}

lol

He sits with us.

He walks with us.

He laughs with us.

He dances with us!

He teaches us.....

.

.

Perfectly imperfect is the PERFECT words to describe my dad........

Love him!

CUZINS KAMP 2012!!!!!

CUZINS KAMP 2012!!!!

I dunno how my parents do this every year!

15th year and still going strong.

If not STRONGER!

.

.

My bucket is yet filled again........

.

.

This years theme was:

"FIGHT OF THE SALMON"

.

Day after day, week after week, month after month, year after year they do NOT give up.

To swim upstream to do and become what their purpose is.....  :)

.

There are LURES along the way we need to avoid:

Shiny, pretty, glamorized lures!

.

Do not get distracted and remember our purpose!

Those lures can ruin us.....kill us.

TO where our free will is gone!

.

"Do not bite at the Bate of pleasure until you know there is no hook beneath it"

.

.

.

LIVE OUR COLOR!!

We will never succeed in life if we don't live our color!

.

BE who we are!   KNOW who we are!!

.

Growth and development take time!

{thats why we are not mosquitos...}

:)

.

Everything starts with a thought.....

Negitive & positive.

We get to create ourselves through our thoughts!  :)

So, get rid of the lies!

We are ENOUGH!

We are BEAUTIFUL!

We are STRONG!

We are worthy of gods love....

.

.

We just have to know HOW his grace works.....:)

and its simple......

.

.

Love you mom and dad!

YOU are amazing!

Thank you for loving us and creating the family glue!

 

Have to share.......:)

What a fabulous day.....

So many NEAT things happened on THIS DAY!!!

.

.

I was in heaven.....:)

.

.

.

.

I feel seriously so fortunate and lucky to be able to do this!

Hope you enjoy and can feel the LOVE and CRAZINESS as I did.

Which are TWO of my favorite things to feel....
