Brittney's Bunch

Earlier this week I posted about doing my first family session. See here. I finished editing. Not completely happy with some of them but hey, first "real session" out the door and there are some really neat photos. I'm happy with most of them. I hope Brittney and her family likes them! :)

Last night my blackberry went off with an e-mail at 2am. This isn't uncommon as my blackberry receives e-mail from six different accounts but for some reason it woke me up and I read it. My dad has sent a message out that said check this out with a link to Reed Photo-Imaging. Which is you remember, is the company that I entered a photo contest with (here) and then won the contest with (here). Reed put up a thing on their homepage acknowledging my win and not only the win but that I had the most votes for a single photo EVER! Pretty cool! :) Again, thank you everyone who liked the photo on facebook. Now I need to finish all my editing work so that I can go play and find pictures I want to blow up really big!

First big gig.

Well, first paying, editing job. I got the job doing the photos for the cattle sale catalog. Pretty nervous but it'll be well worth my time and effort to see my work in one of the leading Limousin cattle operation's sale catalogs. I have upwards of 70 photos to edit in less than two weeks so I should technically quit blogging and start editing :) I also have videos to edit for each heifer so look forward to the learning curve that I'm up against in that endeavor :) Have a good night everyone, it's time I tuck in with my laptop and edit, edit, edit!!!

Before & After

The cattle ranch where my husband works has a few cattle sales each year. They have always hired big agency's or had the secretary's do the work. This year they just didn't have the man power to do it. I asked if I could take a stab at editing their sale catalog pictures. Here is my before and after of the test picture I did for the manager. Hope he likes it:

Winner! Winner! Chicken Dinner!!

Ok, maybe not a chicken dinner. Better! A 30x40 art print from Reed Photo-Imaging. I mentioned entering the contest earlier in this blog post. Check it out! Pretty neat and VERY exciting!! :) Thank you everyone who "voted" by liking the picture!

Now I'm off to take pictures of horses to try to capture what I want REALLY BIG in my house!

Sneak Peek!

I did my first family photo shoot this weekend. I used my best friend from high school's family as my subjects. They were a blast to work with. I struggled a little bit with lighting but I got a lot of pictures, I had to heavy edit a few and they didn't turn out so great but it's a start.

Here's a little sneak peek!

 My goal is to have them edited and done by the end of the week. Stay tuned to see more!
