I am speaking at Imaging USA!

Hey, everyone! I am so excited to announce I am speaking at Imaging USA on 1-20-20! My topic will be on creating artistic photos that surprise, otherwise known as cinemagraphs! I will walk through my creation process and explain all the ways to make creation easy...

I have two reasons to be happy today...the first?

I have two reasons to be happy today...the first? My sister is visiting me! @lindseysommer06 is my heart for ever and I haven’t seen her for TWO YEARS! The second is finding a new career passion! I shared on CPN that I have found joy in creating patterns with my images. It is a whole new skill set for sure, but I’m never happy unless I’m learning something new! Hello Adobe Illustrator! This is a test dress I had printed and I adore it! The tulips and daffodils were grown in my garden. 🧡💛

In my last reel I showed all the marigolds growing

In my last reel I showed all the marigolds growing happily in my greenhouse. I don't usually gravitate to marigolds because they are stinky (yay, for keeping pests away though!) and because they are SO bright in the orange department, haha! I mixed them with other flowers I had in bloom.... coreopsis, Iceland poppies, and a random white dahlia that I thought was pretty! I am excited to get this printed on a few items! I photograph them, extract and clean them up and then create the pattern in Photoshop. They print really well. I got a great dress yesterday that I am so excited about! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

My Lightroom Fluency + A Little Photoshop starts on August 2nd! I am super excited about it! This class is all about creativity and learning about image editing on the pixel level. I focus on the basics, but also how to really push the limits of the program. This run will also include many tutorials for Photoshop as well, so we can get REALLY creative! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

🌸Three-week class starting August 2nd, 2021⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🌸 Main program covered is Lightroom Cloud, but Classic is welcome too! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🌸All genres and styles are welcome. Lessons include portrait, macro, and landscape work. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🌸I provide copious instructor feedback and encouragement through weekly assignment feedback (written, audio, or video). ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🌸Daily encouragement, live written chat, and frequent custom videos based on student questions. Zooms are offered, should you want them!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🌸Learn my unique techniques for creative effects! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🌸The emphasis is on fluency and not relying on presets. You will learn to understand profiles (foundation level settings) and presets, but the emphasis is on understanding and executing refined hand editing. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🌸This is a holistic class and conversation may include other programs and plugins. The goal is to create the strongest foundation for creative image-making! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🌸You may work at your own pace! The only deadlines are weekly assignments, due each Sunday at 9pm CST.

Dahlia backs are pretty! 😀🌸 Especially when

Dahlia backs are pretty! 😀🌸 Especially when it has a random bud growing out if it, lol!

Life has been nuts! Dan and I planted 400 day lilies and roses in the last week of 100+ temps. Yikes! It was a two shower a day deal for sure, lol! At least my greenhouse dahlias are living their best life! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Sometimes, I like to focus on the leaves in the garden. This hosta was the perfect subject to hang out with after a rain. :) Water droplets make me happy since we haven't had rain in a long while and everything is CRISPY! Ugh!

Happy Thursday, everyone! Swipe to see the rather sad before image, haha! Editing is what brings out the depth and color! I underexposed to preserve the beautiful bokeh, but it needed a little work to make it magical.

I wanted to let everyone know I am running my in-depth Lighroom-with-a-little-Photoshop course in August! This course centers around Lightroom Cloud, but is adaptable to Lr Classic too! (I use both programs in many videos.) I have also added my favorite photoshop finishing lessons too! This hands-on and interactive class runs for three weeks starting August 2nd! Link to network is in bio!
