It looks like there is a wildfire burning out of town this afternoon. I looked out my backyard window and saw what I thought were storm clouds, as we had had some storms this morning. Then I look closer and they don’t look like clouds, more like smoke clouds. I checked the news and sure enough, there is a fire out there. It’s burned about 400 acres so far. I hope they are able get it out soon.

A fun little photo of me doing what I do… photographing flowers! Taken by my sister on a quest for some flower photos the other night. I’d share some, but you’ll have to wait until the Blossom Workshop.

It’s Fix-It Friday time again at I Heart Faces! This week’s photo to fix comes from Angie! This is her little girl and her best friend. I absolutely love this picture! It just screamed vintage and faded to me, so that’s what I went with this time. I decided to switch it up and work in Photoshop Elements this time. I love how simple and easy this program is!
1. The first thing I did was I added a Levels Adjustment Layer and did my basic levels boost that I do to the majority of my photos. Grab the left and right-hand sliders and slide them in towards the middle just a teeny bit. This gives the colors a boost and takes off the digital haze.
2. Next, I added a Photo Filter Adjustment Layer. I wanted to go on the cool side, so I chose the Cooling Filter (LBB).
3. Now I wanted to add in some vintage-y haze, so I added another Levels Adjustment Layer. This time, I grabbed the left-hand slider in the Output Levels box and moved it to the right until I hit the setting 40.
4. I wanted to put in some more vintage tones, so I created a Solid Color Adjustment Layer and chose a nice light purple color. I then set the blending mode to Pin Light and the opacity to 25%.
5. Next, I ran my Darkening Action from Love That Shot and slightly darkened the edges of the photo to bring the focus to the girls.
6. Finally I added my Honey Crisp Photo Veil from Love That Shot and sharpened for the web.
And that’s it! Super easy and a gorgeous result!

You may be thinking, “Didn’t she just redesign her blog a month ago?” Well, you’re right! But, as we designed our new website, Love That Shot, we (my sister Misti and I) had the brilliant idea to make our blogs coordinate with the site. And boy, am I ever glad we thought of it! I love my new design! It’s clean and simple and showcases my photos perfectly!
And it’s totally cool, and convenient , to have a graphic designer as your sister! She designed my beautiful new logo!
So, tell me… What do you think of the new design?
