Edits, Camping and Standers

Filed Under: Family, Photography, Special Needs Tagged With: cerebral palsy, Holoprosencephaly

Here is my edit of Jen from Mama Schell Says photo. I wanted to make it look like an old timey painting. What do you all think?

I did a lot to this photo. I first opened it up in Camera Raw and made slight adjusment {though it looked good SOOC} Then I ran some of my favorite Pioneer Woman actions. I then added Kim Klassen’s Granny’s Cupboard texture. I then used Pixel Blender’s Oil Paint effect.

Here there are beside together so you can compare.

 
My Before & After Edit
This is one from our camping trip. Dustyn is so adorable. Love his sweet smile.

{Rollover image to see the before}

 

Here is Carsyn in his new {loaned} stander. He LOVES it. He looks so big and tall in it. We are still waiting to hear from insurance whether they will pay for any of his equipment.
Dustyn giving Carsyn a kiss.
Obviously those were taken with my new iPhone. Yippee. I really do love it and love all the cool photo apps. I will have to do a post on them all one day.

 

One last one for Texture Thursday. This was taken while camping also.
