Senior Pictures

Ken's cousin asked me to take some senior pictures for her. A little nervous I took my two faithful helpers out for some test pictures. We were driving around looking for something "rustic" and found this old barn somewhere down behind Main Street. Abbie was just laughing at me... "you want me to go in there! It's still full of cow dung!" I replied "no silly, just stand in the doorway." I didn't really think it smelled, but she was convinced it did and let go of her nose just long enough for me to take a picture while she was still holding her breath. It was so funny. She makes me laugh.
Abbie was tired of pictures and stayed in the car to listen to Scripture Scouts and Spencer was my last subject.
Here are just a few more cool Photoshop actions that I tried out on some of the pictures -- well, I thought they were cool. This is just a simple B&W, but I think it's neat because the photo actually looks B&W and not shades of grey.
I'm not sure this one has any practical use unless you're a hippy, but can you guess what it's called? Seventies!
I just loved how her white shirt stood out against the trees. This action is "soft and faded."
Here's another "soft and faded."
This one is my favorite it's called "colorize." And how lucky was I that she was wearing a purple scarf for this one. This photo just wouldn't be as cool without it.

Your pictures are so good! I would love to learn photoshop... it's on my to get to someday list. Zach is like your kids... he said the other day "I hate pictures! Because Mom always says 'that's so cute!' and then she takes more!"
I also love your temple FHE idea - I think we'll be trying that!
