Using some actions that I purchased ages ago. I finally figured out how to use them!
I bought this gorgeous sweater for her two years ago, she finally fits into it! It is a size 2, I think not!!!
She loves wearing glasses that aren't hers. She does not need them, she just wanted them for the photo!
These were taken in my garage with my backdrop I just ran a little sharpening on it.
I have wanted to take a photo of her in this outfit before she outgrows it! This is sooc.
This is sooc too!
I had to recreate this photo that I first saw on Sara Anthony's site.
No editing done on this one either.
Now that my children are in school full time I am finally diving into my photography. I have all of the equipment, software, etc, that I need, actually I am over my head in things I don't know how to use. For the past 4 years I have had some sort of family crisis's to deal with and I never felt creative enough. People would call me for an appointment and I always felt like I just wasn't good enough. Ever since I turned 40 I decided to find myself, discover my talents and gifts, whatever they may be. I love to take photos and I have since I was a little girl, however I know very little about the whole process. I just have and eye and that is just about it. Yesterday I decided that I was going to get out my camera and a few lenses, use the pretty backdrops that I have, bribe my beautiful little girl with candy so she will model for me, and just DO it!!! I have so much to learn, my head just spins, but I just love taking photos and that is what motivates me to better my self. I have been taking photos for customers lately and wanted some of my own little doll before her baby teeth fall out and she outgrows my favorite sweaters. I thought I would share just a few that I took yesterday, I made myself shoot in manual and RAW all day, some habits are really hard to break! I know I have a long ways to go!! But I enjoy doing it so that is all that matters right??

I agree with Kim, don't underestimate yourself! These photos are already better than the one's I've had taken of my little ones at professional studios, imagine what your pictures will look like once you get the hang of your tools!!
Your photos are amazing, and inspiring. makes me want to have our families done!

Okay, wow, wow, wow!!!!! Every one of these shots is gorgeous. Your daughter is beautiful and you are incredibly talented!
Oh, Leslie these photo's are beautiful.Your little Girl is very photo genic. I just jumped over from Pretties and Posies to your site. Your sister was mentioning you so often that I became curious. And my curiosity was good. I love the music too.
I will be stopping by more often.
Hi Leslie,
I am back... I was wondering what photo software you used to get the old canvas look.
Your photos are awesome! I have a 16 yr old son who has a passion for photography too. His grandmother gave him a little digital camera a couple of years ago...and a monster was created - lol. He saved up some $ and bought a nicer camera last year. He even started his own little business (you can see his temp website at: www.wix.com/moorecreativeimges/ddm
He plans on buying yet another camera soon. He's just a beginner, but I think he has an eye for photography too.
Keep up the good work :)

did you make your backdrop? that looks so good and her pictures are beautiful.
i just went back and read the last paragraph. i turned 40 last march and did the same thing. finally decided to stop telling myself i'm not good enough and start my own business. and i did! i'm still learning but having so much fun along the way.
You mean "happy Christmas".
"Jesus is the reason for the season".
happy Christmas all. love Cassie
LOVE LOVE LOVE these photos!
I especially like the one of her reading atop the suitcases!
