Jazz Festival

Ryan and I had a night out on Sunday(a rare event with little ones). We were celebrating his dad's birthday and I got to be the "photographer." I am trying to practice as much as possible...I figure practice makes perfect...right? I don't know if it's my computer or what, but it takes FOREVER to edit photos in Adobe Lightroom and PS (photoshop). However, right now I love seeing what the different actions do and adding different layers. If you don't have PS, try free photo editing software like Picasa or Photoscape (I have tried them both and they are great!)



This is one of my favorite pictures! I love when people are being casual..this is right before "posing" for pictures.
The Shultz girls: My sisters in law and my mother in law :) If you notice on the upper left side of the picture I added a texture layer.

The Shultz boys...I added a white vingette (it's how the edge of the picture is white)


Sepia type tone:




My handsome husband and I...I boosted the color a little, but nothing could help my flat hair :(

Amanda and Justin....I messed with the color. I love how the picture "pops":
