Way to go Gretchen!!

Gretchen recently took my 1-on-1 Photoshop course online.  She wanted to learn how to create this first year collage.  Isn't it awesome!!  It's official I am stealing this idea & doing it with my Penelope when she arrives. 

Here's what Gretchen said about the course... "First of all, thank you, thank you, THANK YOU for all the fun tricks you shared with me!  That's my excuse for being so late turning in my "final exam"--every spare moment I'm spending editing pictures in so many fun ways! :)  I actually finished this project a day or two after we last spoke, got it printed and already have it hanging on my wall. :)"

Thank YOU Gretchen!!

Stella's 9 month old mini session




Not very often do I post an image with eyes closed but this one just made me smile smile smile.  There is no sound more adorable than baby laughter.  I wish you could hear this picture.

however, they can be applied step by step.)
