Everyday Details

Capturing the world around me… the everyday things we see, the places we go, the people we are with. It’s all so lovely. The ordinary. The moments. Shapes, movement, repetition, texture, light, people. The everyday is simple and simply beautiful.

May the Lord bless his land with the precious dew from heaven above and with the deep waters that lie below; with the best the sun brings forth and the finest the moon can yield…”—Deut. 33:13-14

How to Record a Master Workflow Photoshop Action

Developing a fast photo editing workflow is an essential part of being an efficient photographer. If you find yourself going to the same actions and steps in Photoshop to process your photos, why not record a master action that can do it all with the click of a button? I’ve put together a video showing you how to record your own master actions to help you make the most of your post processing time and give your sessions a sense of consistency with the processing. If you find these tutorials helpful and would like to see more, I’d love to hear from you in the comments.

2012 Portrait Sessions Starting

Michelle — Mon, 30 Apr 2012 01:02:37 +0000

I’m gearing up for portrait season here in Sheridan. To kick the spring shooting season off, I took my lovely little one out for a fun little shoot. She is definitely Miss Personality and there was no shortage of silly and sassy going on that evening. The spring weather has been fickle, as is to be expected here in Wyoming this time of year. But, in the midst of the gray skies, wind and rain, we caught a gorgeous warm evening when the sun was just right. There were so many fun captures from our evening out, here are just a few of them that I loved. (Black and white images were processed with Caramel.)

How to Add a Soft Matte Effect to Photos

Michelle — Sat, 28 Apr 2012 22:49:59 +0000

Do you love that soft, matte haze you see in photographs? I know I do. I’ve created a photo editing video tutorial to show you how you can use the Michelle Kane actions from the HeARTy Collections and the Botanical Blends Collection to add in that gorgeous matte finish to your photographs. You can do this effect over a base edit that is either simple color or rich color. Creating a hazy matte look is a gorgeous finishing technique that will give your photos a lovely romantic and nostalgic look. The video demonstrates just one way you can achieve this look using a combination of Matte Overlay and Rosehip. But keep in mind, you can create a matte finish with so many of the Botanical Blends tones and the hazes from the HeART & Soul Collection.
