**Each image above was SOOC (no adjustments) prior to running the photoshop action mentioned. Then each texture was applied at 50% opacity on “Overlay” blending mode. The layer mask and/or gaussian blur method was used to remove texture from skin areas. From now on, I’ll keep track of which adjustments I may make to the different layers in the action & post the complete recipes & before/afters.:)

Gracylu Originals!


Processed with Florabella “Mademoiselle” from the Luxe Photoshop Actions Set…(mouse over to see the “before” image)

I was thrilled when the lovely and talented Tristian of Gracylu Originals asked if I’d shoot part of her gorgeous fall line. Gracylu features beautiful heirloom quality and custom headpieces and accessories. Of course, I love them on my daughters and little models, but you should also see her bridal collections (they’re exquisite)! Tristian’s web designer is almost finished with her new boutique site, but you can still submit orders using her order form… (and don’t forget to look for her 10% discount for professional photographers)! You’ll love having Gracylu originals in your collection (and your clients will love them too)… they are truly unique and especially beautiful! I’ll be posting lots more soon!

Florabella Luxe Photoshop Actions (before/after)


Florabella Luxe includes 15 unique actions + 6 mini actions  &  a special “Try Them All” action:
Pandora, Mademoiselle, Gypsy, Musette, Ruby, Starlet, Glam, Heiress, Cashmere, Sapphire, Ambrosia, Allure, Velvet, London, & B/W Mink. Also included are the mini-actions: Sweet Sunshine, Light Haze, Sharpen/Defog, Vignette, Soft Center Light, and Highlight Protection. There is also a “Try them all” sampler action which runs and creates a new layer for each action- this way you can see what your photo looks like with each action. You can also use this action to make different combinations of 2 or more actions (the possibilities are endless).

From Skye:

“Are you excited to turn your passion for photography into a career you’ll love? Ready to take your burgeoning photography business to the next level?

The Workshop Workbook will help guide you along the way with over 200 pages packed full of information and inspiring imagery. I share the secrets to my success in building my child photography enterprise, including all the lessons I had to learn the hard way (so you don’t have to.) Everything that I taught in my Soulographer workshops is now right here at your fingertips, for you to work through at your own pace and always have at your disposal to refer back to. In the workbook you’ll find amazing how-tos on working with, posing and styling children.

You’ll learn what to expect in photography sessions, from the moment the phone rings and you book a client to the moment when you’re sending prints off to a happy customer. You’ll learn about marketing yourself, pricing strategies and how to setup your business in a way that prevents burn-out from the start. I even discuss my favorite camera and lenses and show you how I use Photoshop to enhance my portraits.
And since the Workbook is available in a convenient .pdf format, you can access the teachings right from your computer – on your own schedule and at your own pace.

Talent is absolutely necessary, but it can only take you so far. The Workshop Workbook will help you turn that talent into a sustainable and enjoyable career by arming you with the knowledge you need to become the amazing, successful photographer you know you can be.
