I LOVE old photographs! I love the graininess and the muted colors. I especially love these old photos because these are some of my favorite people in my family. I simply scanned these images into my computer and then used some post-processing to make them really pop!

Who knew a pet pig would be so cute?! When my friend, Summer, bought a miniature pot belly pig I'll admit I wasn't convinced that it was actually going to be cute. But, as soon as I saw this pig I was hooked! I mean, who doesn't love a pig named Bacon?! I knew I had to set up a photo shoot for him so I could capture his cutes features. I think this was a real success. We had three major locations, all of which were quaint and interesting downtown areas. And I kid you not when I say this pig was stopping traffic. You wouldn't believe the amount of people who pulled over only to ask, "Is that a pig?" and, "Can I take a picture of him?" It was hilarious! People who didn't pull over did a triple take to verify their eyes weren't fooling them, and when we were in a crowded area hoards of people were coming up to pet him! Bacon was a huge hit! It was a great day! Here are a few of my favorite shots. Check back soon to see a photo slideshow...as soon as I can get my husband to help! :)

I really hate snakes, but these were just too cool! I loved the bulky bulbs in the overhang and how the coloring of snakes matched the coloring of the bulbs. This is one of my favorite photos I've ever taken. Happy photo-ing!

These monkey/apes were too cute to pass up. I love the contrast between the brown/tan monkey up front and the black/gray monkey in the background coupled with the blurred ride on top. I think this shot is framed well and the black sky provides the perfect backdrop for the pops of color you see here.

Now, I don't know if i would have gotten on this as a kid. I like big and fast roller coasters, not freaky spinning circles that make me...well...you know...I did, however, really enjoy capturing the blurred lights thanks to the shutter speed! I also changed the coloring to include more cyan and red than what was originally in the photo.
