I'm Kind of Addicted.

... to my camera. And Photoshop. Good thing the two of those go hand in hand.

As in... I can use my camera to take pictures of other people in order to keep feeding my PS addiction. Good thing I have friends with cute babies who humor me (even if their husbands don't... cough, cough, PETER... cough).

I think we got some good shots, though! At the top are the edits, and then underneath I put together some before and afters (because I like to see how far my editing skills have come).

For this edit, I removed the truck from the back of Peter's shirt and changed the trees on the left hand side of the building. 

For this edit, I moved Katie over to the far right side of the photo and added sand. 

For this edit, I removed most of the background (it was kind of an eye-sore). 

I wish I'd saved some of the "before" shots from my maternity pictures, because the editing that went into those was pretty awesome, and I was really proud of myself. Oh, well. I'll just have to remember to always keep originals from now on! 

Maybe someday I'll show you some of my old edits, and you all can laugh at my horrible judgement from days gone by. ;)
