Snowy Senior Session Sneak Peek

Here's a quick sneak peek of a senior that I shot yesterday. It was completely sunny when I left my house and by the end of the session we were caught in a little mini blizzard.

Tipsy Tuesday

2011-04-26T07:57:00.000-07:00

I've wanted to do this for a while now. pick a day and have a theme and blog about it.
Well Since I get a lot of questions to my email and comments on my pictures about how I do a certain thing, or where I found a texture/font/action etc I decided that I am going to share them here. Every (I'm hoping..) I am going to post some sort of tip to help you out. I learned almost everything from helpful photographers doing the same thing so I thought I would pay it forward. The first Tipsy Tuesday is about fonts.
I recently had a question on where I find my cute fonts to watermark my images with. Since I'm still working on a logo I usually just pick something kinda cute to put on my images (Don't worry..a logo and a whole new game plan for the blog is coming soon. Along with new price packages!!)

The bottom image is the one with my logo on it :) I found both fonts from the same site.

http://kevinandamanda.com/fonts/fontsforpeas/

The best part about it is they are all free :) Even if you don't need them for watermarking purposes you can use them in blogs or scrapbooking etc.

Stay tuned for next Tuesday's tip. Email me at sweetcheeksphoto@hotmaill to suggest tips, or to ask questions :)

Rampage Soccer

2011-04-06T21:51:00.000-07:00

I was lucky enough to take some team pictures for a soccer team. It was raining so hard while they were trying to play. I'm glad that I was the one under the umbrella, and not on the field.

Baby Carson

2011-04-06T21:00:00.000-07:00

I know it's a little too late to post these since he is 4 months old now, but he was such a cute baby I can't resist.

Davis Family Pictures

2011-04-06T20:49:00.000-07:00

JJ's Newborns

2011-04-06T20:38:00.000-07:00

Something New

2011-03-19T12:48:00.000-07:00

I have been slacking terribly on posting my new shoots and I apologize. I have been working on something new to keep me out of trouble between photo shoots ;)

I make custom made photography props on the side. I have a new facebook page, so everyone should go "like" it.

Before&After numero uno!

2010-10-03T19:41:00.000-07:00

I had to do this for a photography assignment so I thought I would share it here too.

I didn't do a lot to this picture but it makes a huge difference!

Steps:
1. Levels to brighten up the image slightly.
2. Dodge & Burn the eyes and hair slightly.
3. Sharpen eyes, necklace & hair slightly.
4. Clone stamp the pen on her hand
5. Gaussian blur on the skin to soften.
6. Blur tool on the background & the corners of the picture.

These two families were so much fun and the grand kids were really cute. The youngest boy was not wanting anything to do with me until I had a flower dancing on my head...(hey whatever works!) lol

Brady

2010-02-08T23:00:00.000-08:00

This is my little brother... he was kind enough to model for me months and months ago when I was just starting my first class. I touched up these photos a little bit, but these are my favorites. I forgot I even had these...he was so "kind" to remind me.

daisies...

2010-02-06T06:35:00.000-08:00

I bought some silk daisies and wanted to use them right away... Since I haven't photographed a baby girl in a while I couldn't... So I looked through some old pictures and found this perfect one of my sister crawling... (this picture is at least 3 years old) so here is what I came up with... let me know what you think.

About {Sweet Cheeks} Photography

2010-02-04T18:02:00.001-08:00

My name is Mandy Call.

I have become very interested in photography over the last few years. Decided to be a big girl, and actually make a career of it. My first blog started out as MC Photography. I hated the name, and wanted something more original... so I introduce Sweet Cheeks Photography. (Sadly, I didn't come up with the name...my mother did and I am so very grateful she did)

I absolutely love photographing people. Children especially.

I am 21, live in Ogden, UT. I have a husband, no children, but I do have a dog, bird & a tank full of guppies to take care of.
