Some days you wake up and ask yourself “WTF was I thinking?”
Wednesday was one of those days… I decided that it would be a good idea to wake at 5:30 am, Shampoo and style my hair then go on a photo walk with a Photog buddy of mine…. Idiot move– especially since it’s like 199 degrees outside at any given time of the day. Mother Nature must be pissed this summer ;o)
So as cranky as I was– off the Hermann Park in Houston I went…. At 7 am in the morning.
Sweltering doesn’t even begin to explain the heat. I don’t sweat– except that morning I REALLY did. Mr. Lacy of Arganious Lacy Photography and I shot the morning away. Both of us focused on wildly different scenery. It’s funny to watch another person photograph something beside you.
I look for everything pretty– he was looking for the grunge. Sky’s and clouds– broken Wine bottles and such. Hilarity issued as I watch him photograph a Hawk attacking a squirrel. I had ZERO interest in the 3 of them, lol.
Here’s my take on the photo walk. I encouraged Mr. Lacy to blog his Walk…we will see if he posts anything!!
Until later…

you knew it was coming…..
well, we did it again. except this time we brought the boys! Shaneka and her son J wanted to take some family portraits together in time for Easter. yes, its true we had to bribe J with a new Tonka truck and a shiny new bow tie– and even then he was hard-pressed to smile for his photo opp!
donning a pink Ralph Lauren checkered classic button down and casual cargo khaki’s with the worlds brightest white bow tie and mommy in a coordinating pink and chocolate sundress with floral print, we took on the wee hours of the morning to make the shoot happen!
more and more of my shoots are styled by me– giving my clients a helping hand when they are stumped by the idea of creating a photo-ready outfit. that’s where my expertise comes in…. i’ve done this a few thousand times– i was a wedding designer for 5 years– styled photo shoots for print and a host of other things besides being a makeup artist too!
enough with the chit-chat! here’s the goods! comment, like and share this post with your friends!
this set is one of my fav combos to run on my images. in Lightroom i use the American Standard Black and White preset to get my image ready and in Photo Shop i fine tune the look with 2 little actions called Wheat and Fade. yummy warm and cool slightly vintage goodness
simply send an email to donnatellaphoto@gmail.com and I will reply with the zip folder of the actions and lightroom presets combo! enjoy!
