Photoshop Tutorials & Inspiration for Beginners
How To’s, Inspiration, and Resources for Aspiring Photographers, Designers, Content Creators, and Crafters
7am in Chicago's Lincoln Park. This was one of the most gorgeous spring days in all of my mentally recorded history. Perfection, I tell ya! (Except for the part a short while later where my laptop completely let me down!!!)
Sunbeam glory!
My obsession with red doors continues.
I broke down and finally upgraded a bunch of computer 'stuff' recently. At the top of the list, was my need for a monitor that would actually improve my life. Ha! Emir set it up for me while I was in Texas teaching Photoshop. Glorious!
On a random side note... did you know that the Austin, TX airport provides LIVE MUSIC Monday - Friday???? How awesome is THAT?
Lisa and Doug tied the knot today... and wouldn't let the constant down pour dampen their spirits! Here's a quick sneak peek before I hit the hay for the night...
Gotta have a ring glory shot...
Look at this little cutie!
Not sure who's more adorable... (gotta love the fedora!)
Lisa and Doug are sports fanatics... so naturally, their day included a stop at Memorial Stadium...
This is Jessica. She is such a doll!
The cake glory shot!
Wishing you a lifetime of happiness! :)

The whole thing kicks off at 1pm local time. You can watch online... or if gathering with other local peeps is more in your nature, check out local hosts and enter your zip code to find a local Pangea Day party! (There are at least 2 public ones in Lincoln!)
This past summer I shot Kinsley's senior photos. She came back for more... and this time, she brought her two sisters along for a Mother's Day surprise!
I think the girls were more surprised than anyone when the weather went crazy... wind and rain galore! It couldn't stop us from getting some ice cream though. :)
Cute shoes must run in their family!
Finally headed back to shelter...
You gals are troopers! That was loads o' fun... I hope it's a big hit with mom!
The website will be goofy for the next 8 hours while it 'propagates' to the new IP address. KaBloom has a dedicated SSL now! Woot!
Hang it there. It will right itself soon.
Lacey + Evan came for an engagement shoot a couple weeks ago. While out and about, we happened past this gorgeous field a'bloom with spring. How could we resist?
Don't you just love wearing heels in the grass?
Great job guys! Can't wait to shoot your wedding in August!
I am in LOVE with this photo!
Darja is another 2008 senior who saved her photos for spring... (she is far from alone!). An interesting gal, she has lived in several countries and is quite the little traveler!
Who knew an abandoned relic of a classic truck could be so cool?
New glasses!
More classic relic-ness... :)
Most of our shoot revolved around the stables where she rides her horse. So fun!
Great job Darja! Best wishes next year!
On a tip from a friend, we headed out to find the elusive 'heart' rumored to be gracing the walls of a downtown alley. After much anticipation, we finally found it... and laughed our tails off when we saw how small it was. Ha ha ha! It was still quite delightful.... Thanks for the tip Kevin. :)
Whoa! That is one HUGE heart!
Perhaps Andrew should go into theatre... he seems to have a knack for it.
Lindsay could go into super modeling.... I love the energy she gives off.
Andrew's frat house. (Red door... I'm always such a sucka for those!)
OMG- Yes, those are her actual blue eyes. I am loving the intensity in her expression here. It's not always about big huge grins and giggles... I love it when clients can summon their inner calm on cue. Ha! :)
Cute toes to boot!
Again, a red door. (See what I mean?) This one has a bonus though... between them there is ANOTHER HEART! This one is white... and if you look closely, it's made up of the letters L-O-V-E skewed in such a way that it creates a heart. We were on a roll!
Again, those eyes!
You guys were rock stars! I can't wait to shoot your wedding!
Lynn & Vicki tied the knot earlier tonight. The weather was AMAZING. Here are a few of my faves. Working with the two of them was nothing but fun!
Double bonus? The chair I shot this on was for sale at the church garage sale... guess who is the proud new owner!? :)
Any guesses what this was shot on? :)
Great colors!
See what I mean about fun?
That was spectacular guys! I'm honored to have been part of it. Congratulations! :)
