happy girls are the prettiest [MOC8 January 5: Grid Photo]

this is amazing!!!!!!! she is beautiful, your grid has awesome colors, the whole thing has a spring feeling, that camera element is so gorgeous and the layering of the tags is perfect, those shadows marvelous, the pattern paper on the background is delicate and fits perfectly with the wole elegant feel of the page.... it is almost 2 am here so not sure my vocabulary and phrase construction is allright, I wa`s on my way out but saw this, couldn't let go without stopping by.... give Olivia a hug from us here!!!!!

Ooooh Cheryl!! This is just beautiful!! Love the process video and how you started with the black and white photo!! Your color adjustments are so gorgeous! Olivia is such a beauty!! Absolutely amazing page as well!! Thanks so much for playing along!

This is so pretty Cheryl! I love the colors you used in the grid and Renne's kit is perfect for this. Gorgeous!

- this sums up what I think lol

oh so so very pretty

So beautiful!! Awww... and your page is pretty good too xoxo

love the colours you chose here and how it just naturally ties to this kit - super sweet and i'm also continually impressed that your photos rarely have any glasses glare in them, not an easy feat to achieve in photograph- i've read before some photographers will just ask people to remove their glasses (and seen 'school portraits' & some reading shots etc where the reasons why are obvious but still they should have the ability to work with all kinds of people without exception to me)- have you learnt some trick? and if not, feel free to admit that you are just that good at photography too!

@bellbird I actually do have lots of photos with flare glasses glare! It's hard to avoid them. There are tricks for after the fact in Photoshop, but your photo also has to be just right to be able to use the tricks successfully. It's a lot of work for little reward, in my opinion. So I do try to make sure that my subjects are backlit, when possible, and I will often physically move my subjects to be in just the right spot. Like, you know, grabbing their arm and pulling them or pushing them along. LOL Here are just three with glasses glare (so you know you're not alone!):

Stunning layout! Stunning photo! the coloured grid effect is subtle and dreamy. Love it.

Wow! Whilst I am a huge fan of this technique, I am not usually keen when it is applied to portrait photos. However, this is amazing. I love that you have used this technique on a large background photo (so we still see the original), that you used a black & white photo (no interference from the original colours), and that the grid lines and colours are positioned in a way that they do not detract from the photo and Olivia’s features are still prominent. Here the technique has added a softness and playfulness to the page and helped to focus our eyes on Olivia, seeing her as a whole and focusing on each individual square. The addition of the camera embellishment and clustering finishing it all off perfectly.
