One of my favorites of 2011

I was just revisiting some old photos, cleaning up my hard drives and playing around with some photos in Lightroom and Photoshop and I came across this one photo that was one of my favorites from this past year.

Another Before and After

I love seeing before and after shots.  I love to see the different edits that some come up with. and I love me some backlighting brightening up the back of the hair. 

a before and after

Although I usually try to get it as close to "Right" as possible in camera...sometimes when I'm chasing baby girl around, or any other young child..... I don't!  I was playing around with some photos I took of my kids in the fall and found this one that I really like, except it was underexposed and was way off in the white balance department.  I decided to give it a go, all done in Photo Shop, to see what I could do with it. 

Here is the before and the edit.

A few of my baby girl.

Playing around with my New-ish softbox on my strobe and my little girl has become quite the ham infront of the camera.  Here are just a couple shots of her over the last couple of months.

And one of Luke my nephew......

And Maddie, my neice.....

I'm attempting another Picture a Day project this year. Tried the last 2 years and at some point, gave up, or forgot. So this year we shall see how far I can go. First picture is of baby girl in her new girl room. She's 3 and been in my room ever since she was born. So we shuffled some of the boys around and I did a little painting and we have a girlie room...in MY house!! haha!! She loves it. She slept in it for the first time Friday December 30th after her Daddy's 40th Birthday "Party" when she was so tired she crashed on my at the table while I was playing games and I just put her in her big girl bed. easy!!
