Original

My first edit

My second edit

Usually I spend a little more time but all I have today is ten minutes so that's what we get I guess haha. It's a bummer because I think there are some cool things that could be done with this photo. But I really have to go, so no recipe since that requires time!

Fix It Friday

I haven't done a Fix it Friday for awhile, I was having photoshop issues for a little bit of time but I decided to do one today so here it is: 

Original- SOOC shoot

just a few minor improvements to brighten up the photo

This one is a little warmer and a little funkier.

Instagram Fun!

If anyone has an iPod or iPhone I would suggest this free app called Instagram. It's an app for your iPod's camera that allows you to edit your photos with some pretty cool effects instantly. Then you are able to save them in your device and upload them (if you choose) to Facebook or twitter etc... all with just a few clicks. I LOVE this app. and I have used it almost everyday since I got it a couple months ago. The last few years I've tried to do project 365, where you take a photo everyday and print them and journal about that day...well needless to say, I've never completed it, I got to May once but got too behind in my organizing to complete it. But this is a little different and WAY easier. I just take a photo with my ipod which is always with me and edit it right then and there, save it with the date and it uploads easily to my account where I can access it anytime. Usually I have too many photos from one day to chose which one I want for my photo of the day so I think I can actually complete project 365 in 2011! I'm really excited for this. To be able to look back on my year in photos will be pretty cool.

(The photo above is from last Thursday when I was at the Mt. Baker Theater for their production of Wizard of Oz, it's the cool ceiling above the theater seating)

{M} Graduates!

My cousin Mariah is a senior this year so she needed some senior pics. We had decided to do them today but then the morning was just dumping rain so we thought we were gonna cancel. Then the rain stopped so it was back on. Then it started raining again....well by the time she got here it had stopped raining and the sun came out a little bit. PERFECT day for pictures. It was overcast for the most part and the sun down by the water was wonderful. The only downside...FREEZING cold. Poor Mariah wasn't dressed for warmth. But I think it was worth it we got some good shots in! Let's hope the weather forecast is wrong wrong wrong and it doesn't snow this week!

{M} Family

This past weekend I got to take pictures for this cute family. We went all over downtown (which seems to be my go-to place) and Elizabeth Park. It was the PERFECT day, it was cloudy, not windy and not too cold. Plus their daughters are completely adorable and smiled the WHOLE TIME. such genuine smiles for every picture. I always take a lot of the same pose because people love to blink but there was probably only 2-3 photos where someone was blinking so I had a lot to choose from!

Thank you guys! I'm working on getting your CD done tonight!

If you would like to book a session it's the perfect time of year and the trees are amazing right now. Also if you chose one of my packages take $10 off your total price for the month of October! Just email me: amandapeckphotography at gmail dot com (spamming purposes it's typed like that).
