The story of baby girl Flanagan's also know as Kaylee Ann.

Here is my photo story !! I enjoyed this project and could have kept going with more pictures! I'm hoping to use some of theses as a order a book of Kaylee Ann's first year :-)

work in progress . . . looking for sugestions and thoughts . . .

a Beautiful year of change: my sweet baby girl pre birth to her first birthday.

Here are what I believe will be my selection I'll create the story of my daughters first year of life! I may use s few extra because I want to experiment more with the making colleges. Picking which pictures to use was really challenging and I have a feeling as I continue editing these I may change a few and possible add some with the college.

 

 

 

 

Picture portrait

 Here are a few Portrait pictures I took of my daughter. I used a verity of different techniques while taking these photos but all of them are taking in the "subjects" environment.

This was one of my favorite because she was having so much fun and  was taking pictures and got this one of her really happy! and it worked well with this picture that she was centered

The fallowing five pictures are a sequence of shots I took of Kaylee getting ready and going down the slide at the park.   

This was the last of the sequence shots. I really liked using the sequence shot with my daughter you capture action like shots.  

Daddy and Daughter. I enjoy this type of pictures because It's not posed and it really shows a bond captured in a tender moment :-)

now that I'm looking at this picture and wondering if I should have cropped it. . .  but I  really like the back ground.

I like this picture because its a picture of different emotion then the other pictures I took this day.

In this photo Kaylee has space to look within the picture.

Cloning around and texting too

I really enjoyed using the cloning, text, and painting tools to add to my photos. I used them more to add and make my photos more creative and fun then to really fix them. I used the clone tool to clone parts of several different pictures to create this picture from my daughters first time exploring the pumpkin patch. I also added  my name with the text tool!

This photo is from my daughters first birthday I used the text and paint tools to use some of her party themed colors to create a banner over her first cake experiences.

Filter fun

I turned this picture of my silly little girl into a fun cartoon looking picture using the cartoon filter and the neon filter! I really had a lot of fun playing with the different filters. I enjoyed the artistic ones if your going to really change you picture in a fun/silly way :-) very playful

This is the original before I cropped it and used the filters! she kept this wig on for hours  

This is picture is cropped and I used a artistic filter to change the look of the picture. I think it gives it a more cozy feeling that a family portrait would want to have!

this is the origainal

Dodging and Burning the lighting

This is using dodge and burn over  subjects face and along shirt and wood beams. this photo was taken in a cave at the lost river last summer there was very low lighting it was only the flash and light from lantern you can see in the picture but his face was priceless I was excited to be able to edit this photo and share with this little guys parents :-)

 

This is dodge and burn also with lighting filter

this is similar to what the above pictures looked like before editing with dodge and burn and lighting filters I am not sure what happened but unfortunately my original was saved over I'm still getting use to photo shop :-)
