Guest Post: Pictures in your Home

Hi Everyone, This is Lauren from  Hilltop Home Renovation . Today I am going to take over for Hope, who if you haven't noticed takes amazing pictures Although our blogs are not about the same thing, you can apply Hopes blog to mine in one particular way. Through pictures! I personally think that the part I look forward to while renovating a home is the end result. For me that is decorating. Once your home is renovated, the part that almost everyone looks forward to is decorating your home. When you think of decorating your home everyone thinks of furniture; table, chairs, couch ect. Yes, all of these things are the core of the home that makes it comfortable and homey. But what about the walls? Without any pictures or decorations on the walls, they will look bare. (As shown below) Most people think that decorating your home can be difficult and can be costly, but you don't have to do it alone. You can call a professional and get an experts thought or you can do it your se...

How to add or replace a sky in Photoshop

So start off by thinking of a time that you have ever taken a picture of the sky and it just turned out flat and lifeless.

Senior Portrait Favorites

Senior Sessions As a photographer one of my favorite things I get to do is take senior pictures. Since the very beginning I've been so passionate about taking senior portraits and everything that goes with it. I love being able to capture the smiles and outgoing personalities that differ so greatly between individuals. Here's a show down of some of my favorites! Above is a picture of Hannah rocking the summer heat deep in the woods. The tress were so green and beautiful creating the most perfect background for a simple shot.  This next picture of Hannah is a more casual picture that suits her personality perfectly. She loves the outdoors and the freedom it gives her to throw on a cap and explore. Cameron was so fun to photograph! He was always smiling and laughing, which truly brought out is outgoing personality and glowing smile. My favorite part about this photo and this session as a whole, was his contagious laugh! The bright sky and bold greens ...
