Photoshop Tutorials & Inspiration for Beginners
How To’s, Inspiration, and Resources for Aspiring Photographers, Designers, Content Creators, and Crafters
Check out the great look I recently got for some of Emir and I's wedding photos. I went to Hobby Lobby a few weeks ago and bought 4- 12x12 shadow box frames (50% off!!!). Then I ordered some 12x12 prints featuring a favorite photo (with groovy background) and pinned it inside the shadowbox (pins are even included!).
That's it! They're ready to hang.... now I just need to find some photo nails and a laser level... Emir!? :)
Just a quickie note to let the world know that my friend Kara Leigh (incredible local jazz musician) is playing tonight at the Del Ray. Bring your friends and plan on having a great time!
If you weren't at the Meadow Lark Coffee House last night, you missed out on a rockin' good time! Son del Llano was in the house.... Lincoln's newest Cuban music sensation. Our family and friends were there to represent.... (and salsa our tails off!)
This is René Paula.... who, like my mother, hails from Havana.
Here's his wife dancing along side my mom (It was a full out dance party at a coffee house!)
Of course, the Cuban rhythms are what draw you in.....
René was a blast to watch... such a soulful, expressive man.
Here's my aunt showing everyone how it's really done on the dance floor....
Great time guys! I'm looking forward to the next gig!

Jordan is one tough cookie! We shot her senior pics YESTERDAY. It was COLD! But, she was a trooper. Look at her in action!
Look at that show choir smile! Go Jordan!
Folks.... it was about 10 degrees out when we shot this. Jordan is PRO all the way!
Love it!
So vogue! Is blue her color, or what????? :)
Thanks Jordan! Stay warm!
Ok... so taking a personal photo every single day is a bit much. Instead, I decided to focus on exciting highlights of the week (or... whatever is happening when I suddenly remember that I still need to photograph something!) Ha!
This past week, I was pumped for a couple reasons.
1) I finally found the perfect solution for the hand towel in our office bathroom! (The over-the-toilet table!)
2) We bought this new area rug at TJ Maxx for our office. Lovin' it! (Apparently, Merki loves it too! Is she actually hugging it?)
PS: I'm actually hoping to find another one of these rugs... if anyone sees them around, let me know! (I already called all the Nebraska TJ Maxx stores, as well as Marshall's!) :)
Looking for a fun way to practice your photo skills? Gather your kids and use your imaginations to shoot photos illustrating each letter of the alphabet. Here's a few examples to get your ideas flowing:
Last week, I received a photo safari challenge from some other photographers. The list of required shots was 20 items long, and it was a race against time. Here's my submission. Kinda fun! Thanks guys!
PS: If you want to read the list, click on the photo to see an enlarged version. :)
Valentine's Day is just around the corner. Forget about little chocolates and sweet nothings... we're having an all out party! Just to let you know that YOU (yes YOU!) are much appreciated!
Join us Sunday, February 17th from 11am-2pm at the Del Ray (817 R Street). It's beautiful in there!
Grab the family (yes... of course, bring the kids!) and some friends and come over for some food and live music! If you think you might stop by, drop me a note and let me know (we don't want you to leave hungry!).
Hope to see you there!
