Lifestyle Photography – Photoshop Actions – This Is Our Life Project – Week Five Wrap Up
Posted on February 4, 2013

And here is our beautiful group of images from the This Is Our Life photo project for Week Five. The theme was Finding the Light … as most photographers know, light can make or break a photo and turn a ho-hum image into something spectacular. The images submitted this past week were shining examples of just how gorgeous light transforms a photo!
For those wanting to find out more details or if you are just interested in lifestyle photography in general and want some helpful tips and examples, please check out the very informative post on lifestyle photography and This Is Our Life.
For my fifth week in the This Is Our Life project I captured a tiny sliver of early morning sunshine lighting up my little girl’s face as she was lost gazing at the birds flying by our window.
Edited with Luminosity actions – Lavish BW, Film Haze and Rich Deep Matte. Shot with a Nikon 85mm 1.4G lens at ISO 800, f1.4, 1/200 second.

Before we get to the featured images of the week, here is the prompt for week six of the This Is Our Life project (Good Morning). Whatever comes to mind when you think of your mornings … something in your day to day routine, the thing that you must have to start your day out right or the little details that always bring smiles in the mornings.

Lifestyle Photography – Photoshop Actions – This Is Our Life Project – Week Four Wrap Up
Posted on January 28, 2013

Another beautiful week in the This Is Our Life project … I always have so much fun looking through all the submissions and feel very honored to be a part of this amazing group! It’s incredible to feel like I’m getting a little glimpse into your lives and all the special moments and details you’re capturing.
For those wanting to find out more details or if you are just interested in lifestyle photography in general and want some helpful tips and examples, please check out the very informative post on lifestyle photography and This Is Our Life.
For my fourth week in the This Is Our Life project I toted my camera along on a run of the mill grocery run and captured a few shots showing my two year old and her love of grocery shopping – she adores the little kid carts they have (and you can see how she likes to test their speed in the produce section). The one with her peeking out from under the cart was all her … I was grabbing something off the shelf and the next thing I know she’s yelling, “Me hiding!!!” from under the shopping cart. Never a dull moment with this one.
Edited with Luminosity actions – Luminous, Film Haze and Adeline. Shot with a Nikon 24mm 1.4G lens at ISO 200, f1.4, 1/250 second.

Before we get to the featured images of the week, here is the prompt for week three of the This Is Our Life project (Finding the Light). This theme calls for you to hunt for spectacular, unusual or as of yet undiscovered light. Light makes or breaks a photo … find some beautiful light and capture a beautiful memory in that yummy light!
