Freebie: Photo Template May 30, 2009 Free Downloads One comment

I wanted to do a photo book of all the images from the road trip I just took. I really like the 12″x12″ photobooks from Shutterfly. I have begun working on the photobook and wanted to do each individual page myself instead of using Shutterfly’s software. So, I’ve begun creating templates for myself to use over and over. And I’m going to share the first one with you. It’s sized to fit in the 12″x12″ Shutterfly photo book, and a bleed is included so your photos do not run off the page. Download link is below the preview.

If you are a photographer, feel free to use this for any of your client’s layouts in their albums. This template is FREE. Do not re-sell this. Direct people to this blog post if they’d like to download it themselves.

You should have knowledge of Photoshop...

This is actually a different view than you normally see of Dead Horse Point. We rented a 4×4 Jeep in Moab, Utah and was able to get really close to this area. It was incredible...

Gatorland, Orlando FL…not just gators :) May 5, 2009 Photography No comments

I went back to Gatorland in Orlando Florida this past weekend because the bird rookery there is in full swing. It’s amazing to see so many egret, heron and anhinga babies…and so close! I wanted to share a few pictures with you.

Two Great Egret chicks:

And, my favorite shot of the day…feeding time. I wasn’t going to drive almost three hours one way and not bring back something special…there’s at least three fish in the adult’s mouth and three babies anxiously trying to get them.
