Merry Christmas From The Plant Family

Here is my Cmas card this year. It is a tri-fold card and I did the gorgeous pearl finish on it.
My friend Steph took the pictures for me and I edited them. Steph also designed the card for me. She is amazing!!

Before and After

Thought I'd show you a little before and after.

Walker Family

Waddell Extended Family

HUMONGOUS favor

I was supposed to visit a friend who lives back east this fall to take her family pictures and the way things worked out I couldn't go.

She was here visiting this summer and I took some pictures of her with some other friends. I just got an email asking if I could find a picture of her that I had take that would work to add her to a picture she took herself of her family on Thanksgiving day.

You know me, I love a challenge so here is what I did:
I took her body from a picture I took this summer and her head from another picture and then put them in that perfect hole right between her two kids. I had to resize her body since she looked like a giant compared to everyone else and then I added a few leaves in front of her to make it look real. I got rid of the leaf covering her son's eye and then warmed up the picture and boosted the colors of the background to add my little touch. Here's the before and after. What do you think?

There you go, a Christmas card pic by me and I didn't even have to take it!!

Christmas Mini Shoots

This was my first year doing a mini shoot day and I have to say I LOVED it!! I will for sure be doing it again next year so be watching for it. I'm thinking of doing two, one in the summer, and one again the end of the fall. Here are some favs from the day.












I gave everyone their picture in this card too as a little bonus :)

Fun Fun! Let me know if you are interested in future ones and I will make sure I notify you when I do them.
