let your photos do the talking

I love grouping similar images from a photo shoot into storyboards to highlight relationships, love, personalities, or sequence of events. Here are some faves from a recent client with a cherub personality.

Sometimes, words are not enough to describe the joy I feel capturing the innocence of babes. It’s my hope these images can share a bit into the precious souls of these two little ones. Thank you, Kim and Adam, for letting me spend time with your angels.

tutus and butterfly wings

November 6th, 2009 michelle Posted in children, digital collage, personal 3 Comments »

Oh, how I love little girls in tutus…and with butterfly wings even more!

Two little girls wearing the same tutu 13 years apart…our oldest, Alyssa, back in 1996 for her first dance recital…and a dear little person last week for a costume. I’m embracing these precious memories this week.

Had some fun adding texture and a few embellishments to both images.

Scanning tip…I scanned Alyssa’s 1996 4×6 film image at 600 dpi so I could create an 8×8 piece at 300 dpi. I cropped in a square format as shown.

Happy weekend!
