Welcome to Tutorial Tuesday! Sarah of Naptime Momtog and I will be bringing you a new challenge every week, to stretch your shooting and editing skills. This week, I was inspired by Paper Heart Camera…specifically, Courtney Kirkland’s recent tutorial on creating the matte effect in Photoshop.

First and foremost…guess who is one month old today? Felicity! Hard to believe that just a month ago, our little bundle of joy made her appearance. And in just a couple of days, she’ll reach her estimated due date (and my mom’s/her grandmother’s birthday).
