Jamie from Mommy's camera is having a self portrait photography contest. I used the remote control for my camera and it was on a tripod. My dad had just given me flowers the other day so I had a good prop. :-) I used Gimp to add texture to my photo. I am still learning how to use it so there is texture that is darker on my forehead and I'm not sure I like that. I did like the overall effect though.
I am a blessed stay-at-home mom of three beautiful baby boys. My husband and I love living in the country and watching our sons grow. I like to back myself into "creative corners," that is, I like to start projects and either not have time to finish them or give up on them because I don't have the patience to finish. More specifically I enjoy planting my flower garden once a year- but not weeding it, trying to take creative photographs, sew something once in a while, bake scrumptious and delectable, as well as, eye-pleasing desserts, and lately, trying my hand at blogging. Things that I think are important in my life are: my relationship with Jesus, my family, friends, trying to eat as much organic and all-natural food as I can and using all-natural personal and cleaning products.
David
My handsome and hardworking husband that takes such good care of the boys and I. He is a blessed daddy and so are our sons.
Bradley
My baby boy who grew into an almost-six-year-old too quickly! He is my sweet boy who loves to read books, sometimes cuddle with Mommy, Daddy, Tyler and Corey, and likes to "talk" on the phone.
Tyler
Our second-born, full of fun when he is at home with his family, but usually a little more reserved and cautious in public. :)
Oh my goodness, this is such a beautiful photo! How precious! It looks like a professional shot!

ReplyDeleteSo fun! I am just figuring out texture with my elements. I'll have to post a picture later of Colton and me where I used it.
