The time has come…. I have edited my little heart out. I have a few more pictures to share.

I have been stuck on two pictures. I was trying for a silhouette… but they just didn’te turn out quite they way I expected. And WHO KNEW a van was parked outside ruining the shots lol. So those are probably going to take more creativity. Once of them is so beautiful so I am determines to make something of it.

For now….. please enjoy these last shots

For those wanting to do this shot – use smaller blocks. If you can find them. and I have heard tape helps. This was the first try though, and I didn’t even have blocks – they were Kate supplied. Thank goodness her child isn’t deprived of blocks like mine!

This is a re-edit. I wasn’t completely happy with my first attempt.

I’m almost done!!!!

Kate you are most patient.

I can not even describe how much of a learning curve I have taken doing a ‘real’ shoot. And I say that loosely lol.

Talk about figuring out a good workflow….. and cropping…. and sharpening….. and SKIN. Skin is the hardest thing to get right. I finally found a great way to edit skin, and I’m almost at the end of the pictures. FIGURES.

I am putting the pictures up here, because as I am gearing up for portfolio building, I like to have some examples of my work and see how I roll, or should I say shoot. This is my only way (for now) of doing that!

So here are some more!!!!

I can’t figure out if color or b/w is better…….

Seriously. One of the prettiest pregnant women around right now

So I’ve been back to work. Another few photos down!!! I just love some of these photos, and have learned ALOT. This was a fantastic opportunity for me. So thank you again Kate… there will be some more
I have learned that taking so many pictures definately makes the selection process hard!!! And editing pictures is not as easy as I had planned! But I love learning, and have enjoyed learning many new things in editing these pictures.

one of the few I have with Petra in there. Too bad it was nap time – the snow really held me up for our appt. Will definately get more when the newest addition is here because she is too cute!!!

WOW!!! I had the most awesome afternoon with Kate and her family. She was so easygoing, and just let me shoot and reshoot, change backgrounds, and changed outfits.

It was so nice to have a nice stationary model that smiled and did just as they were told LOL!!!!

Thanks Kate, I have so many pictures that I like – it’s going to take me awhile to go through them…… but here are some I edited and like so far
