Fun kids, tired long day

These kids were great. My favorite expression is the little one on the right end, who was face-down collapsed in the next frame. I like all the different personalities they’re showing and had a lot of fun with this. There’s only one Photoshop face-swap.

This image has early-color 1950s-ish processing and watercolor effects.

It’s 70 degrees and I’m thinking of spring. I LOVE calla lilies and this has been a fun project.

Art prints at Imagekind start at $18.73 here.

Chloe Benefit Wrapup

Jan 21st, 2008 by Valerie | 0

I just wanted to send out a special thanks to all who participated in the benefit for Chloe. Portraits were taken by me in Colorado and by Erica Spencer in Michigan. Erica was able to raise $850 in Michigan and in Colorado I’ve donated $698.50 with $100 promised and three more sessions scheduled.

This is the first benefit I’ve done and it was a great experience. Thanks to everyone–it was really a privilege to work with you, send some donations to Chloe’s family, and what was an added bonus for me: learn more about photography.

Here’s a thank-you note from Nichole, Chloe’s mom: “thanks to everyone who participated in the photo benefit for Chloe. You helped make our Christmas 2007 a blessed and memorable one.

Love and prayers for all of God’s best in 2008!

The Korson Family,
Jason, Nichole, Noah and Chloe

If you are a member of LinkedIn and you would like to give Erica a thumbs up for her photography, her page is at http://www.linkedin.com/pub/4/26/8. I’m sure she’d appreciate it!

Thanks again!

First Portraits for Chloe Are In!

Here are the first portraits that were done as part of the benefit for Chloe. I’m going to add more as I get them done.

UPDATE: People have been interested in Christmas cards, so I put up a gallery of the card templates that I have. This gallery will be easiest to view over a high-speed connection. My apologies to any dial-up users. There is also a card I did yesterday in the gallery in this post.
