I mentioned on Tuesday that I met up with Tommy and Stacey on Sunday for my second engagement photo session. If you haven’t seen one of my favorites from that session, click here (I seriously think they should blow this up or send out as Save-the-Date cards…something). I learned a few lessons during our session: I am not going to actively pursue a portrait photography career…at least not any time soon. I need a lot more practice shooting people (I am so much more comfortable with still-life).I have no idea how to give people direction – although I don’t care...

Earlier this year, I stumbled upon a tutorial on I Heart Faces called: “In the Fairy Garden.” At the time, I was so excited to use it that I wrote my own variation of the tutorial for Photoshop Elements – HERE. I used those same steps to create the photo I submitted to Pioneer Woman (you know, the one that made Group 1…even though it didn’t make it onto the finals), and then I used it again on my Macro Monday this week…teasing you that I would give you a tutorial today. Well, wait no  more…I wrote a tutorial over at Paper Heart Camera today!...
