The most sacred thing is a child's innocence;
his trust the most inviolate.

My photo
I'm a hobbyist photographer, a school counselor, a health junkie, and a mom. But above all, I'm just a woman living my truth. My biggest happiness in life is to savour each moment while it happens. That's all. That's everything.

In The Meadow


I feel like I've learned so much lately about the editing, as well as taking photos, but there's so much more left to learn! I have trouble seeing my efforts with kind eyes some days. This week and last I've had unkind eyes. But I'm trying to be kind with myself... and everyone else. Especially everyone else.

Here's a SOOC shot from an adventure in September... photos I just haven't gotten around to doing anything with.



And here it is after the strenuous efforts of editing. Okay, it wasn't that hard. It just took more thinking and creativity than I've been feeling like for the last several days.

In the meadow...




Taken with my Canon Rebel XSi, and edited with PS Elements 6.

  1. I would struggle with editing that one too. Harsh mid-day sun is my worst enemy when it comes to photography. Your edit is so dreamy, love the crop.

The moment a child is born, the mother is also born. She never existed before.
The woman existed, but the mother, never. A mother is something absolutely new.
