Happy Memorial Day! I hope everyone had a chance to get outside and enjoy the beautiful weather while remembering all of those who gave and are giving their life for this country.Earlier this weekend, Kendra sent me a special “before and after” request. She is currently in the process of printing/framing/hanging a few photographs in Baby A’s room. She loves the photo below but didn’t care for the pink color cast as a result of the pretty pink backdrop. Color casts can often happen when you use bright-colored seamless paper or blankets.

Earlier this year, I started following TWOpeasinabucket’s Photography Course. In February, I completed Lesson Five: Composition…and then I just kinda lost track of the lessons.

There are soooo many creative people out there and I look forward to connecting with at least a few of you. Meanwhile, I hope you’ll check me out (maybe even like my work) – and if you have an editing challenge, please CONTACT ME.I have a busy weekend ahead of me, including a couple of edits for a few friends...
