52wk Challenge Week 4

I didn't end up following the instructions like I should have on this weeks assignment. I guess I was suppose to show you what love means to me, and what defines it. Instead I decided to take a few shots showing things I love. Well of course my family is my Love, as well as God. But these are some other things I fine to have in my life everyday. So would mean to be pretty important. 

Now check out Gingers Blog. I am sure she followed the instructions much better then me. =)

52wk Challenge- Week 3

As soon as I saw the theme for this week, I knew what I was going to shoot. I actually had a series of photos. But wanted to be able to challenge myself, to narrowing it down to one and the viewer would still know what is going on. Journey's is something that is a major part of a military families life. Just happen to catch us during one.

Now be sure to continue the circle by dropping by Lynn's Blog.

52wk- Week 2

Here is a shot from a maternity shoot I had on Monday. I really liked the composition, but wasn't sure if I could pull it off. I think it turned out pretty good. Although there is always  things I would have done different. 

Ahhh... the life of an artist =D

52 week Challenge: Week 1

Hi!! I am so excited to share a new journey that I am embarking on with 20+ other photographers!! It's a 52 week project where we have 52 different themes and each week we focus on one of those different themes to stretch our creativity and keep us actively engaging our love for photography! This weeks challenge is Self Portrait. It takes everything in me to do these. I truly hate it. ROFL. But hey, that's what this is about. Challenging myself to grow as a better photographer and ever as a person. So here I am =)

Now be sure to check out the next blog, for their self portrait entry with our 52wker circle: http://www.tamaralatorrephotography.wordpress.com

My recent Birth. This was my first birth at a hospital, with the siblings. The youngest girl was the cutest thing. Constantly standing by mom's side, making sure she was okay. Since they were at the hospital at such early hours, they were hoping she would take a nap. She was just pacing back and forth, wondering when the baby was coming. At some point, even started to rub moms feet. She was so precious. Mom also did so well. Epidural didn't really kick in till right before pushing. No matter how much they were trying to rush it in her. So she had to work through the contractions. The family there, was so supportive, she did great. Hope you enjoy the sneak peak.

My Play


First I masked out the shadows and worked with the levels. Then I added a Sunshine Memory Action. Rotated the image to get rid of the angle (personally wasn't a fan of). Then I did obvious cloning to fill the empty corners. Added a Sun Flare action and ended with a texture layer. Thanks for the challenge Ladies!
