July 19 - Last One

And I'm done editing...now I'm gonna have to go back to taking and posting pictures of my every day life. I did very few with the vintage filter...you saw two of maybe six. And I only B&W on one in the middle (it was an accident, but I liked how it came out) and this series at the end - my favorite pictures of all of them. This was a fun, creative endeavor that I get to repeat in a few weeks when I try it again with a different friend! I'm so grateful to Rachel and her husband Bill for letting me and my camera capture their special time. And it was fun hanging out with them.

July 18 - More editing, more belly

There is regular-color version of this, but I love the aged pinky tones. Apparently I'm the only one ;)

July 17 - And Belly Makes Three

July 16 - Still editing...

I mentioned it was gonna be all maternity shoot, all week, right?

July 15 - A Belly and a Poll

I did a maternity/belly pics shoot for a friend I've known since she was 16. She and her husband waited and waited and waited and FINALLY this baby decided to join them. I'm so excited for them and to express that excitement, like the little drummer boy that I am, I played my proverbial drum. So here's a picture from the shoot. I'm probably gonna post them all week because I have a zillion to go through and edit. I took 360 ... that's like a picture a day, right?

And now you get to weigh in. The above picture is edited but not really "treated" ... and the picture below has a vintage filter. Since I've only edited this one picture, I'm curious what you think about the filter vs the nonfilter. Of course there is the "give her both" option and that's probably what I will end up doing, but what do YOU think? Is the vintage wash to 2010 photos what acid wash was to '80s jeans?
