the bartons at the beach : sandy point, whatcom county, wa family photographer

July 22, 2010

A few weeks ago I met the Bartons at their home… and lucky me got to spend more time with them last night at their beach house. I’ve really, really enjoyed getting to know this family – and to know that my kids aren’t the only crazy, goofy ones out there Shawn expressed that they really just wanted pics of them being who they are… no super posed type of portraits, and that is just what we got. Thank you so much, Bartons, for making me feel so welcome to both of your homes, and making my job not feel like a job! It’s been a blast

When I arrived Jake was on the dock fishing, something he does a lot of I gather He had already caught three fish that evening (yikes I forget the name of them!!).

The Bartons Part I – Bellingham, Whatcom County, WA family photographer

July 6, 2010

Another lovely family to photograph last week – the fun just never ends! This family saw some pictures I took for a previous client of mine, liked what they saw, and gave me a call. I just love that! I was looking forward to meeting them after talking with Shawn and email correspondence, so was a little bummed when the weather didn’t seem to be cooperating. But… we decided to go for it anyways, even though the clouds were dark and it was a little chilly, and I am so glad we did! All of the photos were taken on their property, and I had such a hard time narrowing down which pics to blog! They have an amazing property and home, it was the perfect location to shoot at. Later this month we are heading over to their property on the water and taking more photos there and near their boat. Needless to say, I’m excited about that. You 4 were fabulous to work with… I’m looking forward to spending time with you again, and hope you enjoy your sneak peak!

Lynden, WA child photographer – Fix it Friday

April 2, 2010

They call it Fix-it Friday at I heart faces. I call it being-awakened-way-too-early-by-my-son-and-he’s-playing-nicely-so-I-might-as-well-find-something-to-do at Alyssa Brown Photography.

They give you a picture to fix, and you fix it! So, I played, and this is what I came up with. All “fixing” was done with Photoshop CS3. The main thing you’ll see in the original photo is that it’s generally “soft”, but mainly the eyes are out of focus. To fix that I sharpened the whole picture, but also selected the eyes for some extra love. Then I did my standard bw conversion on one, and for the color one did a number of curve and color adjustments.

And voila – the finished product.

Well, that was constructive. Now – on to tackle the day.
