Tampa wedding photography: Kara and Jordan

I flew down to Tampa to join Kara and Jordan for their big day! I truly had the best time all the way from the rehearsal through the reception. Two incredible families that should be very proud. OK, you're here for the pictures, I get it.

Textures - Greensboro Children's Portraits

I have never done much with textures before, but I recently came across some free ones online so I thought I would try them out. I decided since I had just taken some 4th of July pictures to use one of them for the test.



To add a texture, open your image in photoshop, then open the texture. Drag the texture onto your image and it will create a new layer with the texture. Change this new layer with the texture from "normal" to "multiply". For this image, I lowered the opacity down to about 70%. Then add a layer mask to hide the texture anywhere that you don't want it to show (like on the subject).
