This is my husband and three little darlings. I consider this a pretty good picture for our family and a family with three different kids for that matter. Everyone is looking forward and smiling. My youngest isn't SMILING smiling like he normally does but I will take it. THIS is a picture that I will treasure for ever...the loves of my life.
ANYWAY :) This picture was taken on Sunday afternoon. We had family in town and were outside the church building taking pictures of all of us. I wanted a picture of my husband and three kids. Right after I took this picture (above)...I handed my camera to my sister and asked her to take another picture and I would just squeeze in and make a Family picture out of it. This is what it looked like: (below)
Not TOO bad. I was happy to have a picture of all FIVE of us together...which doesn't happen all that much. My older son is looking away, but smiling. My youngest...well, he is in thought I guess. SO I posted this picture on my family blog and on Facebook for all to see. People enjoyed seeing my family picture and i was happy.
Well, the more I looked at it, I realized that the one picture of my husband and three kids was perfect of everyone except I wasn't in it. So, using PHOTOSHOP, I just put ME into the first picture so that I have combined the two pictures...YES...the best out of both worlds.
AND here is the NEW family picture that I wish to share with everyone. :)
Let me ask you a question...What do you think of the final picture? Can you tell? If I didn't show you all three pictures would you KNOW something was "up" with the final picture?
I am by no means a photoshop expert ... I have been learning new tools and tricks over the last year and a half and happy with my progress. I have lots to learn and practice makes perfect. After reading over this post, I can tell a small difference in the final picture but again I have sat and looked at it for a long while. Instead of fixing it...I will leave it and let you see for yourself.

Lighting's just a teeeeny bit different on your face in the last one, but other than that, probably wouldn't have noticed on my own. GREAT pic, by the way. You're all so cute! Miss you!
Hi Ashley! Good to hear from you too! My face is actually exactly the same in both photographs :) That is the very same picture of me! Only the rest of the family changed. Thanks for the comment :) Tell the family I said hello!
Astonishing! I could tell no difference of you adding yourself to the pic. GREAT JOB yet again!
you know now that I studied it much harder, I did notice that right above Miles' right arm, a little green from the bush in the background was present. Of course that is well after I was made known of the "changes." Nonetheless, awesome job!
This would have been difficult, so I give you full kudos. Having an eye for this kind of thing, I can tell the top of Miles's hair had been overlapped with your layer, and Mike's hair next to you is a different shade, but really, overall it looks great. I'm glad you can have a picture of the five of you you like. It makes me miss you all though!
Thanks Em! I too can see about Miles hair being layered. I wish to master this eventually and learn new ways of doing things to make it all look perfect. :) As for Mike's hair, it is the same as in the very first picture, the one without me. The shade does look funny...and different even in the picture i didn't photoshop at all. I had to look at it twice after your comment b/c I didn't think I did anything to Mike. I am guessing because we were standing underneath a spotted shade tree the light was hitting him differently. You can probably tell how I combined the two pictures...that is why his hair is different in pic number 2 and 3. Anyway, appreciate your comments! THanks!I like hearing from others...especially another photographer!
awesome!
your family is so cute all together!! you look pretty to!! this is heidi:)
