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.

Carsyn’s first day of school a few days late. Th Carsyn’s first day of school a few days late. The teachers say he seems happy to be back. This would technically be his 8th grade but we will probably hold him back a few years in middle school before we move him up to high school. Of course they are “virtual” tomorrow and possibly Friday because of the hurricane/tropical storm. Then Labor Day on Monday. So he probably won’t be back again until Tuesday.

He committed to working out and bulking this Summer and made some huge gains. Swipe to see his last day of school photo in June. We are so proud of him.
