I entered a photo editing challenge yesterday and wanted to post my edit of Amber Lee's photograph.  The photo challenge can be found here - Amber Lee's Editing Challenge by Photographers Connection

The photo on the left is Amber Lee's.  The photo on the right is my finished edit.

My edit:  I tried to give a "clean" edit.  First I started off and added a curves boost to lighten the photo, then added some contrast, after that was done I started working on her face.  I lightened the eyes and added more color to her lips.  Smoothed out her skin.  I gave it a little closer crop.  Winners will be announced today - wish me luck!

I would like to thank the following people for making tonight a success, Nicole Ashley for doing the make-up, if it wasn't for her the girls wouldn't have looked so glamourous, she truly did a wonderful job!  Rob Hamilton, Pastor Sam Youngblood and the members of Cedar Hill Church of God for letting me borrow their fellowship hall.  My dad for believing in me and making it all possible for me to do what I love.  My husband for also believing in me and supporting me.  Natalie Hart, Haley Hart, Olivia Do Doo, Abby Saulsburry, Monica Hopkins and Rachel Saulsburry for being my guinea pigs.  Thank you all!  Now, for a preview.

Still looking for a hairstylist for my upcoming event on February 2.  For more information or to apply please email me at [email protected]

I am having an upcoming event and I'm looking for a hair and or make-up artist.  If you would be interested or need more information please contact me at [email protected]  Hope to hear from you soon!

Hopefully, hopefully I'll start getting my act together.  I really haven't done much since I lost my mother.  It's still pretty hard for me to comprehend the loss of my mother.  I know it's going on 3 months but the grief is super real.  She was my number one fan well tied for 1st place with my dad of course.  I miss her beyond belief.  I want to call her up and just chit chat the day away. 

On other notes, I hope everyone reading this had a wonderful Christmas and happy New Year's!  Hope to see you again real soon!  Bye for now.

October will always be a sad month for me from now to forever.  I lost my mother October 20, 2012.  She was very dear to me, she was my best friend. 


I haven't been here on my web page since then.  This time has been very hard for me.  She was my biggest Photography fan so I haven't been doing a lot with pictures here lately.  Please forgive me and hopefully soon I'll start again.  Until then, thank you for understanding.

I'm so excited!  I will be attending the Holston River Photographer and Models Shoot-Out and Workshops!  I can't wait to be apart of this awesome opportunity!  I will be sharing photos from the event on 

Haven't been here in a while and thought I'd come in for a chit chat.  I'm still thinking about my business and still have issues at hand but I'm here!  I'm stilnot quite sure when I'll be settled in or the direction I want to go.  Just wanted to let you know I'm still here and still taking pictures!  Hope you have a wonderful day!!

I haven't been here to update like I planned.  Starting out the school season I've been super busy   I am rethinking my website, rethinking my business, and working on some new skills and ideas.  My business is not going in the direction I want it to go and have some other issues at hand.  But I will be back soon!!

Stay Tuned!! 

Have a great day!!

I have been debating this for a while and finally got up the courage to start a group on facebook for area photographers to get together.  This group is for photographers in this area to come together for shooting, sharing and to have fun together. If you are interested please join us -  The Morristown,  TN Photogaphers Connection -  http://on.fb.me/P45fdc

I would love to see you there!!
