Trendy Treehouse Shutter Love Tuesday ~ Blue

Blue is the theme this week at the Trendy Treehouse! :) I immediately thought of this picture. It IS from my archives (the girls' 2nd birthday, so September 13, 2009) but it totally fits the bill! Blue shirt, blue wall, blue expression. Who knew turning two years old was so upsetting!

Share your Blue pictures with the rest of us over at the Trendy Treehouse! :)

Touch Up Tuesday with The Paper Heart Camera

~ Touch Up Tuesday with The Paper Heart Camera ~

I edited this picture a while ago intending to use it for something and never did. But I really like the way it turned out so I shall share it today. The original was pretty crummy. I didn't make sure to get great family photos in the hospital (oh, if I could only go back in time!) so I was glad that I was able to edit this into something I liked.

~ Before ~

Yikes! The brightness is terrible in this picture, you can hardly see the one baby's face. I squint every time I see this.

~ After ~

Much better. It's darker ~ almost as if there wasn't enough light ~ but I think it's a good dark. I like that Hubby's shirt pops out and that I can finally see both of my babies' faces. I think the blurriness around his head is also a little better in this edit.

Different edit. But still cool. I like the color touch up best.
Fun! Sorry I don't have the steps I took to editing these. You'll just have to figure that out yourself! ;)

I took this photo in January of this year when my daughter was ten days old. It was luxurious to revel in the 'free time' I was enjoying with having only one newborn baby to take care of ~ I was in a daze at this point with the twins!! I love this picture of S's little feet, almost lackadaisily (did I spell that right?) propped up as she lounges on our bed for an afternoon doze.
