I had the awesome opportunity to take photos of a clothing line that launched in September. Mommy couture clothing line can be found here www.mommycouture.net they have very cute and modern clothing. Great for moms looking to say, I'm a mom and I am proud! Here are a few pics.

Headshots

I had the honor of taking head shots for Mary Kay professionals since their new website launched with the ability to have a photo on their personal page. I had so much fun, the ladies were beautiful on the inside and outside. Here are a couple of them.

I Heart Faces Friday Challenge

I decided to take the photo challenge along with a ton of other photographers to edit the following photograph. I edited 2 different versions that will be posted below. It is a lot of fun to see everyone's edits because one person can take a photograph, but every photographer has their own style so no 2 photographs are the same. Here is the photograph we were asked to edit.

After: Edits 1 and 2
