BLACK FRIDAY

2011-11-25T07:45:00.000-08:00

I told myself I was going to post this at midnight, BUT... yesterday after enjoying some amazing turkey I was sucked into the hype of an ALL NIGHT shopping etravaganza. I kept telling myself I didn't need anything BUT... OMGosh... I decided last minute (9:30pm) to hit Walmart for the $6.88 sheet sets... I got an elbow to the boob, but got five sets. Gave a couple away that I didn't need while I was checking out... ran over and started to sit in line at Kohls at 10:15pm. At 12:00 the doors opened and my little posse and I divided and conquered. I got 2- $8.99 throws, 1 $9.99 waffle iron, and 2- $3.99 pillows. We were out of there at headed to Target by 12:30. My dad and brother had already stood in line at Target for 6 hours to grab two tvs and I had them grab me two razor scooters. When I got there I grabbed some jammies for me and the kiddos, a scarf and a another throw. Then off to Old Navy. WHat a joke. There was NO WAY I was waiting in THAT line. We headed home for a break. Then back out to sit in Sears' line at 3am. When the doors opened at 4am I was in and out of there in 20 minutes with my boots and my son's snow jacket and two super cute "Alaska" style snow hats for the kiddos.

Workshop: MOMS WITH CAMERAS

2011-11-16T14:58:00.000-08:00

As a mother (minus the photographer status) I take lots of pictures of my kids! And I mean lots. So often that in my millions of pictures I think to myself, "I know there is a 'gem' in all these candid shots. Something I can put on the wall. A smile, smirk, or silly face that not even the most patient photographer can capture." And I know you have them too! But sometimes they are hidden under the baby acne, wall outlets, dirty clothes piles, and lame lighting. You can make your photos "wall worthy" with just a few easy Photoshop secrets!

I am holding a Photoshop workshop especially for moms who enjoy taking candids of their kiddos. The class will be held during the week of December 19-23rd in Antioch, California, $35 a seat. I only have a limited number of spots so get your names on the list. This is a one hour Photoshop class where you can bring your photos and I'll show you how to make 'em shine! (This is not a photography class. This is a photo editing class.) Here is a sample of my 6 month old in my sons messy room leaning on a black stuffed animal, baby acne and all. Not the type of pic you want to display. Or is it?

To participate in this workshop you must have Adobe Photoshop 7.0 or newer, and it must be on your laptop that you can bring to class. Come join the fun! Email me at portraitsbybrianne@gmail.com to hold your spot. (Please email if you need to rent a laptop from me for the class.)

This photo took me 10 minutes to make print ready.

One and walking!

Fruit Stands...

2011-09-21T09:10:00.000-07:00

Some people visit fruit stands to buy fruit... but as for me and my house we will continue to take pictures there. If I ever end up having acres of property you bet your bottom dollar I will have a faux fruit stand tucked away just for pictures like this! I LOVE fruit stand pics!

Her greatest blessings call her Grandma...

Did you know...

2011-09-03T08:54:00.000-07:00

that Kevin Bacon has a band.. and a cd out? Well he does... and there is this song on it called "Brown Eyes". And it'll make you want brown eyed kids... no joke!

First things first...

2011-09-01T08:50:00.000-07:00

I heard a quote once that went a little something like... if you put first things second and second things first you don't get either BUT if you put first things first and second things second you get both. SO... last week instead of rushing to get baby fed and bathed and off to bed I slowed down to get these... PRICELESS! And I still got the things done I needed to.

Snuggles from a BIG sister...
