Senior pictures. It's amazing what a little editing will do!

Thank goodness for actions!  I'm learning more and more how to use them.  Still not perfect, but better.

Senior Athlete Poster

Here's another project I've been working on, these will be posters (20x30) that we will display in the gym.  What do you think?
Oh, and thanks to my dear friend Pam, who helped me with the J-Hawk logo!

More senior pics-unedited...

 We took another set of senior pictures yesterday.  These are more Randy.

 I actually got some REAL smiles from him!

These haven't been edited yet, just wanted some constructive criticism before I do too much work.  Give me some honest opinions please!

A sad picture

I always take pictures of the boys on the first day of school.  This year was rough, it's Randy's last first day.  Brandon had a rough time with it, too.

senior pictures - did some editing...

 I think both of these are much better.  Maybe even use-able?

Okay, did a little bit more editing and really was able to lighten some of them up nicely and also gave some a little bit different tint.  What do you think now?  Better?  Not better?

A few senior pictures

Randy & I went out last night to take some senior pictures, at first glance, I thought they were pretty good, but when I try to print them, they seem dark. Maybe it's my home printer and I need to just send some away and see how they look printed from a professional. Anyways, I would love to know what you all think!

 Like these two...

 Really kind of like these...

 I really like the idea of this one, with the flag in the background, so does he, but we were on a covered deck and I think it's just too dark on the side of his face.

 It's really hard to get him to smile, he actually has to laugh at something to get a real smile, otherwise he does something weird with his top lip.  And he always thinks he has to be a serious football player!

Leave me some comments and tell me what you think!

Baseball Memory Mate

Here is my prototype for this year's baseball memory mate.  I would greatly appreciate any and all feedback!
