The Mirabella Boys

I've been photographing this family at least a couple of times a years for several years now. I'm so lucky that they still keep coming back to me time and time again because I just love seeing them!!!

Mom brought props along....which I love! Makes the session more unique and special for them! She brought along their favorite "toys". I love that she brought their bunnies to be photographed with before they are too old for them and have totally forgotten about them :)

Here are a few of my favorites....enjoy!

Make Over Monday

This summer is flying by, and once my oldest is back to school I will have more time to work on being more regular here on the blog :) 

This week's Make Over Monday is of this sweet lil boy with his daddy! 

I first brought the image into Lightroom. I adjusted for exposure, color and contrast and then I cropped it a bit. I almost never crop images, but this one was in need of it. I then brought it into Photoshop and sharpened it....tada....here it is!

BEFORE is on the top and AFTER is on the bottom
