Kitty + Girl = Love {Florabella Photoshop Actions}

Posted in Favorites, Kitty Love, Portraits

Kitty + Sasha = love. ? Two things I don’t do when I’m grief stricken (as I have been since my horse Willow died)…. I don’t drink, and I don’t shoot. But this morning, the kids were sitting at the breakfast bar, and the light was so pretty in my kitche… so I grabbed my camera and a couple vintage hats for the girls. I was trying to get a cute one of Sasha, but her best kitty friend Pierre stole the shot (so sweet)! Edited with Subtle Color + Buttercream + Blush Brush from Colorplay and 1968 from Classic Workflow Photoshop Actions )

Clover the kitten

Seriously… who does he think he is?? lol… I try to get work done, but then I look over and see him sitting in the chair like this! He is too cute for my own good! (and I can’t resist him, could you?)

Happy Valentine’s Day!! (Heart shaped glasses AND heart shaped lips on my sweetie!) Since it is the day of love… I must confess, ” I LOVE photographers!!” ? Thank you to all my beautiful, talented photographer friends out there for your love and support always!:)

Gorgeous Freckles!

Posted in Favorites, Portraits

What a sweetie she is… and I love her freckles! As a photographer, one of the greatest rewards is to know you’ve made someone feel special… During a beach shoot, my friend and her daughter (here) walked by. I grabbed her daughter, threw on some accessories and took a couple shots. I heard later that seeing her photo gave this little girl the confidence boost she needed… made me feel so good. Isn’t she a beauty? ? (posted before in B/W, but I think I prefer the color… edited with Classic Workflow actions: Classic Color + 1968 + Soft Pink Haze http://www.florabellacollection.com/

Florabella B/W Photoshop Actions

Posted in Favorites, Portraits

I love her face… and I love freckles! (Edited with Subtle Color w/ B/W turned on… then a little drama with the Definition Palette… from the Colorplay set http://bit.ly/Colorplay … then All in One Eyes from the Retouch / Makeover set)
This was processed in color first… then I converted to this B/W really quick with B/W Conversion & Tones from the Colorplay set… (so easy & convenient):)http://bit.ly/Colorplay
Edited with Subtle Color (B/W turned on). All the main actions in Colorplay have a B/W option built in so it’s easy to compare b/w to color http://bit.ly/Colorplay:)

Lashes…

Posted in Favorites, Nostagic, Portraits

My sweet, beautiful girl… I’ve never even trimmed her hair. It’s getting so long.:)Edited with Classic B/W from the Classic Worfklow Actions set.

Ethereal & Dreamy

Posted in Favorites, Portraits

My sweet girl at the beach… I was trying to get her to model a beautiful lace sash by Gracylu Originals, but she wanted to wear it on her head and be a queen instead. Silly girl… Colorplay actions here: Clean Base + Ethereal 100%, French Blue 74% & then Colorpop (to add a bit skintone safe color) at 20% & Blush Brush on lips, cheeks.

I love her lashes… Pretty lace sash (not meant for her head lol made by Gracylu Originals)

Edited with Colorplay Photoshop Actions: Clean Base +Ethereal, French Blue & Blush Brush

Teal & Red

Posted in Favorites, Portraits

I love red & teal together… ? Edited with the new Colorplay set only (including a little retouching & color correction)…

Sasha & Me

Posted in Favorites, Nostagic, Portraits


My baby girl & me… not sure if I prefer this in color or B/W. I cherish this photo though. Quick conversion to B/W on top of the already edited image. (B/W Conversion & Tones from the new Colorplay Photoshop Actions set).

Not sure what it is, but I love this photo so much… I caught her looking so serious & twirling her hair (which she does a lot!)… The lighting was awful & rather than taking the time to color correct, I just ran B/W Vintage Film which is one of the bonus actions from the Colorplay set… Seems to work great on hard to process images, and I think it created an interesting vintage quality to this that I love…

I see me in your eyes..

Do you get excited when you realize you’ve captured your reflection in your subject’s eyes? (I do!) And it’s much easier w/ large horse eyes and good barn light! ?

Editing here is the new Colorplay actions… here I used the Recipe Maker (so easy and fun)… this was a combo of: Clean Base + Peace 100%, Ocean Air 35%, Alabaster 25% and Berry Wine at 80%

Berry Wine

Posted in Favorites, Portraits

Recipe: Clean Base + Berry Wine, Sophie & Marigold. Then Blush Brush on lips, cheeks & detail brush on lashes (all from the new Florabella Colorplay Photoshop Actions Set (for PS and PSE))

I love a pastel color palette… ?  Processed with Colorplay Actions: Matte Film (as the base) + Antique Pink & Ethereal….

When I need a creative boost, I shoot still life… if you haven’t tried it, you should! Flowers and fruit are so much easier than kids! ?

Edited with Colorplay Actions: Matte Film (as base) + Antique Pink + Ethereal (then I used Color Brush to boost the color of the fruit & bowls).:)
