New Blog!

Hello Blog Readers!




      For the sake of keeping the subject matter of this blog about our family life and the adventures our toddling 21 month old I  have decided to start a second blog to be strictly about my photography. It can be found at www.meghancavanaughphotography.blogspot.com I hope you will check it out and follow my photography adventures as you have my life with Adalie. 


More to Come,

Tim, Celia & Sam





     Our dear friends Tim, Celia and Samuel came to Titusville this weekend to visit us! The Grebs are our best Air Force family friends. We have been blessed to be neighbors for the last 3 years and hope to continue the tradition when we move to Valdosta! They are already assigned there and we will follow in about 9 months. While they were here I offered to do a little photo shoot for my own practice and these are the images from our fun day :) 

Thanks guys for a wonderful weekend!

PHOTOSHOP FUN

SO I decided to invest in the Photoshop Elements 8 software.
It is a very basic version of Photoshop that allows you too adjust 
certain "elements" of a image.... Here are the first few pictures 
I played with... I think they are crisper and brighter then the 
one's I posted before of Adalie. What do you think?

An Afternoon with Shannon Rae








My beautiful friend Shannon Rae is setting up a new design consulting biz. She has been helping me with some mood boards for my living room, as an exchange for her efforts she asked me took take some pictures for her upcoming blog and website launch!

I told her I would give it a whirl with my new camera. I really had no idea how it would turn out but take a look..... it's not terrible. Thankful I have been getting wonderfully easy subjects, they make me look like a halfway decent photographer.

And for my photographer friends, these were all shot in Manual mode and color corrected. No Photoshop yet, I've got to learn all about that next....

First Photo Shoot With Mommy!

I have always loved & appreciated photography and got into it a bit in high school but did not continue developing my hobby while in college. Well, I have again been re-inspired and am returning to my hobby once again...

Here is my first photo shoot with Adalie. She is a wonderful subject because she loves being in front of the camera and even poses! These images have not been through photoshop. They were shot in the RAW format and were color corrected. Who knows if I am doing all this right but it is a learning process. I have to say that it's not half bad for my first time shooting in about 10 years. But of course that's only my very uneducated opinion.

Enjoy!

My Current Obsession




My longtime friend Shannon Blalock is AMAZING with interior design and after telling her how much I loathed my current living room furniture (minus my pottery barn coffee table) she promptly designed this inspiration board for me which I LOVE!!! She is staying with my color palette of khaki, chocolate brown, green and yellow.

We are still tweeking the project this was just our first run. A few changes will include different style end table's, less formal arm chairs and an additional leather club chair.

I have put my current furniture on Craigslist and plan to put the money towards a new Martha Stewart sectional that I am IN LOVE with! Everything else is going to have to be bought piece by piece as the funding becomes available :)

Tell me what you think...
