Ode to Photoshop

Webster's online dictionary describes an Ode as "A lyric poem marked by exaltation of feeling and style"
I not going to write a poem, but I am going to write with an "exaltation of feeling."
I Love Photoshop! Love it like I want to marry it! Don't tell Derek.
He will read this so,
Derek you know I Love You and I do love Photoshop a little less than you.
Seriously though I enjoy the editing part of the session as much I do the shooting.
I love to see what transpires when I start to edit and with Photoshop it brings an element of surprise and another level of creativity to the session!
Just so you know what I am talking about I am posting some "Before and After Shots"

So now do you see why I count Photoshop as one of my blessings, right along with my husband and children (husband and children totally come before Photoshop)



Now onto a different topic I have given my blog and my little photography business a lot of thought in this a new year. The conclusion I have come to is...I am ready to take the plunge into a full blown business! I'm nervous but excited. I am going to start off very small, hoping to schedule one or two sessions a week. I still have 5 kids at home so my main focus is still on my family.
So stayed tuned there are going to be a lot of changes for "Tracie Howard Photography"
A new website, a new camera, new lights, new props, new pricing, you get the idea.
The hope is to be ready to launch in the early spring, March or April
Wish me luck and then after you wish me luck call and schedule a shoot!
