Before & After...

I can honestly say that now that I've loaded all of the Senior, Justin's photos onto the flash drive to be delivered to him Mom, I feel SO relieved! I do believe I've been cured of doing shoots for awhile!Hahaaa.....Not fun when you loose your shots due to stupidity! I also want to say Thank You to all of you for your sweet comments and suggestions. Without you, I would still be using my little camera and not caring What I shot! I'm starting to "see" things a little differently now when I Do shoot something. It's just plain old fun isn't it?!! Alright now!! I hear moans out there...
Hope you are all having a wonderful day...I stopped and bought my first flowers yesterday. Begonias, one red and another, yellow. Made me feel a bit more Springy. What are You doing to "get in the Spring Mood"? With all the rains (4 1/2 inches yesterday) tanks are full again. I'm SO grateful. Maybe we'll make it through Summer...here's hoping.
Well, take care and I'll holler at you later!

The second photo is certainly more glam, but the first version is nice too.

Since I haven't been reading here, for long.... I will have to take your word for it.... That once upon a time; "... would still be using my little camera and not caring What I shot!" :-)

Oh and please....... Would you request some info, from your lovely subject? :-) How does she make those totally LOVELY soft curls, in her beautiful long hair???

My youngest granddaughter (13) has long hair. (It's a *Rule* I guess. -grin-) But her hair is not very thick. Sometimes she curls it in some way. Although she prefers the STRAIGHT-AS-A-STICK look. -sighhhh-

But I'd so love to see her hair, somewhat resemble your beautiful grands softly curly hair. :-)

I've done nothing to get into spring. I can't believe we'll soon turn our calendars to April! One fourth of the year gone. So it goes. Happy Thursday, Donna dear!

Donna said...

Oh my gosh, that is beautiful!!!!!!!! Look at how you got her skin so creamy, the eye sharp and lightened, the warmer tones, the gorgeous hair! You're wrestling with photoshop and winning!!!

@ Auntie sezzzzz: I got Sam a "curling rod that she does this with. She SO has a talent for fixing hair and she has many "do's" that she experiments with. U can get these curling RODS at any beauty supply place, order online or even at some Walmarts!

Beautiful! I've always been scared to do a "real" photoshoot for someone else. I would be so scared I would mess up.
I've started some flowers over the past week or so...but you already knew that!

The first shot is very nice, and she's a gorgeous subject. The second one really has a wow factor to it.
Since we've had temperatures here in the 80's all week, I've been opening the windows and enjoying the fresh air. I can't remember ever doing that in March before :)

Paula said...
