About Me

My name is Hope, and I am from the rural Stearns County of central Minnesota. I like to consider myself a small town girl with the love of photography and the outdoors. My hometown may be small, but the beauty of it is speechless, and capturing it through my lens gives me the most inspiring look on life. I often times spend my days out in the whispering beauty of the woods or surrounded by open water with a fishing pole in hand. There’s very few times when you’ll see me without my camera hanging around my neck, or where my camera bag isn’t within arms reach. Life only happens once, so you better bet your bottom dollar I’ll be there clinking away. To me there’s no better way of savoring the memories of life then by capturing the smiling faces of friends and family. The feeling photography gives me is truly like no other. My smile comes out the most, when I shoot yours!📸

How to add or replace a sky in Photoshop

Hey guys! Today I'm going to show you how to add contrast or drama to a photo's existing sky. This technique is very helpful in photos with a bare or boring sky that just needs a bit of pick-me-up. 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. Upload that picture to Photoshop, and we'll start to give it a major boost and bring the life back into it from there. This is the picture I'm going to use. I took this picture on a hot summer day in the middle of the blah of the day. At this point the sun was straight up above and didn't help the lights reflection from the lens what-so-ever. Knowing that I didn't take the picture during golden hour, which is the best time to achieve ideal lighting, I didn't worry. I knew that by using this simple trick, I could enhance the sky and add just the right touch that was missing from the sky. 1. The first step is to open a picture in Photo
