Emily Lucarz Photoshop Actions | Feature & Huge Giveaway!

4 comments

As a photographer myself, I hand edit 95% of my photos. When I came across Emily Lucarz Photography’s action sets I was literally blown away. A lot of photographers want that ‘something’ that gives their photos that that spark, that final touch. I 100% found them with hers. Her actions are subtle, dreamy, and give your photo that pop you are dying to get.

Emily has 3 amazing sets that will work with ANY type of photography: Dream In Color, Dream In Black and White, and Enchantment.

Examples from her amazing sets:

Dream in Black and White is to DIE for! The catch in her B/W set is you can turn OFF the black and white layer and use it as a color action as well.

The great thing about Emily’s actions is they will work great with any style of photography. Outdoor, indoor, newborn, lifestyle, back lit, etc! It is terribly hard to find an action set that works with everything, that is subtle, yet makes a statement. Any photographer who has the pleasure of discovering Emily’s actions will be so happily surprised they have found these tools to aid them in their work flow and post processing!

Ollie & Zoe | Feature & Give Away

0 comments

I’m so excited to show off this adorable vendor today!  Ollie & Zoe’s tag line is “unique finds for unique photographers” and it’s so true!

Layering sets are all the rage right now and are the perfect way to add a little color to your pictures.

They have just the cutest little sets and it’s easy because everything matches and you just pick the set you like best!  I LOVE when props are all bundled together and you don’t have to search endlessly for the perfectly matching blanket etc. !

I got this cheery little set in blues and oranges and while it looks more boyish I knew I had the perfect headband to match it and knew I was going to use it first for a girl!  I just love mixing rustic and fancy together :)

I also used part of their packaging to tie onto my basket handle to add a little extra color.

(and p.s. for the ocd folks out there YES it’s driving me nuts that the edge of the blanket got bumped and needs to be flipped out!!)

So who’s ready to shop AND win!?

DIY baby leggings… from Litle Once Boutique DIY’s

1 comment

We teamed up and grabbbed this great DIY from our friends at LITTLE ONCE BOUTIQUE..
it’s a great DIY… and something fun to satisfy your PROP CRAVINGS!

DIY Baby Leggings

These leggings are so easy and inexpensive to make, who could resist? Great for pictures or for stylishly protecting a tiny crawlers, sweet little legs!

Here is what you’ll need:

  • Girls tights or leggings, at least 1 size up (Note- if you use big girl tights, you can make more than one pair of leggings)
  • Ribbon, fabric, or lace in a coordinating color, at least double the length of the opening of the legging
  • Scissors
  • A sewing machine or you can sew this by hand, using a coordinating thread color

Steps:

1. Cut off the feet and waist of the tights (leaving just the long straight section for legs

2. Fold up the top and bottom raw edges by 3/4 inch and top stitch a hem.

3. Ruffle up some fabric, lace, or ribbon using this tutorial.

4. Sew the “ruffle” over the top hem of the leggings. If you wish to repeat this on the bottom hem you can.

And it’s that easy! Now you try!
