"Summer Days are Gone Too Soon.."

So, it's September again.. well, the end of September at this point. I've been going insane between working, school work, and PFA I haven't had much time for photographic anything.

With the exception of today.

I know, Pinterest is such a fad and everybody gets their ideas from there, but I saw a picture that inspired me to do some eye layering edits. So I'm going include some of those, along with some of the other things I've been working on, insignificant as they may be.

This was my first attempt at eye layering, and I liked the result, but I felt like it was kind of.. evil looking. Just one red flower in the eye, I don't know.

 

So, I tried again, including the bouquet in the pupil, and I'm a lot happier with it. I really like it. (:  PS: My boyfriend gave me those flowers, and I took the picture of my eye myself. Score!

 A couple weeks ago we went to the beach. It was cold and it rained. We had fun anyway. (:

♥ Just Because Shoots ♥

Yesterday evening my friend [future sis-in-law, might as well be sister] and I met up with one of our most favorite couples at a local county park to do a just because photoshoot. And man, did they turn out gorgeous!

















They've been dating for 2 years, and are absolutely adorable together. They were a blast to do a shoot with, and I'm sure there will be more shoots to come with them.



We met right around 5:30 and the sun was just beautiful. It was like a photographers dream.

Sunshine and Summertime

I was bored this afternoon and hadn't done a model shoot in a while, so my sister and I went to work. (:

















I had had a few posing ideas and editing ideas I'd been wanting to try out, so this shoot was the perfect opportunity. The time of day was less than ideal, but the bright sun actually worked to my advantage.

I shot these all completely manually and in RAW.

I'm a firm believer that RAW files are the only way to shoot. (:

Fall Leaves and Snow Edits

I always get a little excited after I do a shoot. I get so excited that I post before I edit.

It sort of goes along with the whole "think before you speak" thing. Edit before you post. I mean, there isn't anything terrible about the SOOC shots- but there's nothing real spectacular about them.

I guess it's debatable whether there is anything real spectacular about my edits either.

Anyway.. here are some edits from the shoot I did yesterday of the snow and the leaves. Only three, though. (Maybe I should edit more before I post, too..?)
