Welcome to the first ever i heart faces challenge!
Challenge this week is Shadows!
In case it isn't obvious, I chose this one because their shadow made a perfect heart. <3 No editing (other than basic, and an action applied in Lightroom)

Better After Friday #2
Welcome back to Better After Friday!
Here I will showcase before and after images!
Today's image is from a recent session at the LDS Mormon Temple in Folsom, CA!
Very rarely am I asked to remove tattoos in photos, but this newlywed asked so I have spent the last week removing tattoos! For that reason I have decided to showcase an image from this session!

Once again, some creative cloning in Adobe Photoshop CS4, and some spot healing and the tattoos are gone! She has two on her colarbones, one on her wrist and two on her feet! The hardest are definitely on the feet because the strap goes through them (not shown in this image). If you're trying to remove tattoos, make sure you have lots of caffeine and patience!
1. SOOC (Straight out of camera)
2. Cloning out tattoos and basic adjustments
3. Lightroom Action (Using my preset)
Adjustments:
Slight curve bump
Soften skin (my personal recipe)
Brighten eyes
Smart Sharpen
Warm filter
Burned in background
Action: Personal preset created in Lightroom

i heart faces challenge #1
Welcome to the first ever i heart faces challenge!
Challenge this week is People's Choice!
I decided on this family, partly because I've been highlighting them all month, and partly because I just love this picture. So much personality, love and warmth in this shot!

Better After Friday #1
Welcome to my first ever Better After Friday!
Here I will showcase before and after images!
I also LOVE B&W so expect to see lots of it!
(if you're wondering, I changed it from Sunday because my timelines didn't work for challenges!)
(if you're wondering, I changed it from Sunday because my timelines didn't work for challenges!)
Today's image is from a recent session at the families home. Shooting on-location means being unable to control the environment for the shoot! We decided to play around in the front yard on the couples' bike. In this particular image my own vehicle is in the background.
Some creative cloning (In Adobe Photoshop CS4) and it's gone!
I have some worse ones from the shoot, and I may feature another next week.
I have to admit, I rarely have to do much editing on my photos other than basic adjustments. But in situations like this, I shoot to get the shot I want, and still keep my photoshop hours limited!
1. SOOC (Straight out of camera)
2. Cloning and basic adjustments
3. Lightroom B&W (Using my preset)
Adjustments:
Slight curve bump
Soften skin (my personal recipe)
Brighten eyes
Contrast boost
Smart Sharpen
Warm filter
B&W: Personal preset created in Lightroom

Updates!
It has been (over!) a month since I last updated. Way too many changes going on at once to keep this updated!
I recently rebuilt my website, still updating the galleries but check out the format (I love it)!
My facebook is under construction, I no longer post public galleries due to people stealing images. Except for those who ASK for public, or cannot access private galleries. I do have one recent gallery which is an old friend of mine from high school, showcasing her BEAUTIFUL growing family! Check it out!
I haven't decided how I want to format the blog. Things have been too hectic to even consider it! But I will at least direct you to a place I have been active at!
My new blog: Lillian Pearl Designs is a my boutique blog showcasing recent work, decor and organization tips, featured blogs, as well as tutorials posted WEEKLY!
Make sure you follow it to see all of the great things coming!
