Save the Date Designs

After doing my sorority sister's engagement photos, I offered to design some Save the Dates for her. I did 4 different designs, some including her wedding colors (aqua and brown), and have added a few that I did for my brother as well.

After creating all of these Save the Dates, I would definitely like to do more. If I decide to go the route of engagement/wedding photography, I think I will make them an add-in to a package. Such a fun way to put photography and design together!

J.leigh Photography. Murdock/Longhurst Engagement

My brother and Jessica are getting married!! They asked me to take their engagement photos for them. Normally, I don't like to take portraits, but they were easy to photograph and I had fun. I did a much better job than I thought I would......maybe I should consider wedding photography......:)

These were taken in Nashville, TN in November. They are having a fall wedding, so we wanted to take advantage of the fall foliage that was occurring at the time.

I am very proud of myself. Most of these were tweeked somewhat in Photoshop, but some didn't need to be at all. I uploaded them all to a website so that they could share them easily with relatives and friends. I will be/am in the process of uploading my Charleston pictures. This website will be my photography website for now...until I can get my own domain. Here is the address:

Hope you enjoy!

Personal Projects....from the Summer/Fall.

So, I know it's like 6 months later.....but here are some of the personal projects that I did this Summer/Fall.

Here is a set of paintings that I did for my dining room. They are currently at my parents house, bc my dining room was turned into my living room, due to letting a friend stay with me.

It is just acrylic on canvas......(I can't wait til I take Painting class and can learn some techniques)

My dad built me a recycling center for my recycling bins. I hand painted the letters on them. I think it makes them look much more authentic.

I also made another name logo. This one is for my photography. While I love my orchid signature, I needed something a little more simple and classy. I made this in Illustrator combining two script fonts.

This is a picture that my Dad took. He wants to blow it up and put it in the guest bedroom. Again, he was the photographer (he is where I get my skills from)....I just edited it for him using Photoshop. Here is a Before and After.

Also, I helped my brother with his signature (Aaron Wade Murdock). This was completely HIS IDEA. I just put it together in Illustrator and showed him how to. He eventually did the exact same. I am in NO WAY taking credit for this. Just showing it as something I did/can do.

I didn't do too many personal projects this semester, simply due to my time constraint. I hope that with the more I learn....the more work I will make sure I have the time to do.
