Although the weather today was LESS than favorable, I took the boys out to Westminster to The Butterfly Pavilion. Cooper loved it and Nash enjoyed running away from me every chance he got. We are definitely going back!

Looking for new ways to edit your photos?
March 12, 2010I always love messing with actions. Although I don’t rely on them, they really can make a photo! I love these ones by Photo Fashionista. Linda and Pamela’s actions are perfect for adding a soft look to your photos without overpowering it. You will need to know how to adjust and make these your own. Thats the great thing about these, they’re different on every photo and very easy to customize to you own photos.
Lipstick Boost and Strawberries ‘n Cream and definitely my two favorites but they’re all awesome. I can’t wait to use these on more photos. Make sure to check them out and buy them at PhotoFashionista. You won’t be disappointed.

March 11, 2010There is nothing more beautiful to me in the photography world than black and white film. You just can’t get that look and feel in the digital world. We were all sorts of sick this week, especially Nash, and I’m amazed that these were even taken. if you notice, there is a lot of my parent’s dog Daisy She was the only cooperative one. I love these images and I hope you do too
